Well, with the remaining trust available at this point you might just as well use something cryptographically secure, like encrypted ones, twos, or simple HMACs of the block number. A too-simple scheme is likely to be detected (and bypassed

This is already possible in Austria. The "eAusweise" app allows people to "prove" others their age without giving away any more data: https://www.digitalaustria.gv.at/eng/services/eServices&#x2F

Wouldn't a (3-D) cube have eight corners? And 3 length dimensions plus time gives a hypercube, with 16 corners. For 11 dimensions, 2048 corners... for 26, 2^26 ;)

Try http://xpra.org/ - that's a "gnu screen" for X11, but bandwidth-optimized, can also relay USB, audio, ... Just to give you an idea: I used it for forwarding a Firefox window across an UMTS connection when

That's even _necessary_, as there are a few flag bits in the MAC address - broadcast, user-administrated-address, etc. Just using a random value might give you "interesting" effects and lot of fun debugging those.

Well, using "himem.sys" you could make use of RAM above 1MB... I used it to write a sort utility that only uses temp files when RAM was exhausted. On my 386 with 4MB total RAM I could use about 3.7 or so, the rest was a shadowed B
