Donkey On A Waffle
A New Form of Identity Theft, Bin Laden Back in Time, and Passwords (They Suck)

"Indian border guards are photographing cows in villages in the eastern state of West Bengal and issuing them with identity cards, officials say."

WOW! This brings new meaning to the term identity theft. The ID card is valid for a term of two years and carries the photo of the animal as well as its owner. Information about the animal, such as "one horn missing or "half tail lost" are also included on the ID card. I think I'm going to have to pack up my high end color printer, my laminating machine, and head to India! I bet I can earn myself a lot of rupees printing fake IDs for cows... WOW

On an international front. It appears as if there is proof that Osama Bin Laden has been visiting his local "Hair Cuttery for Men With Megolomanical Urges". Click image for full story.


How the hell did that man (*cough jackass*) get the grey out of his beard! I need to make sure and order a double dose of the stuff since those damn grey strands are invading my face as we speak.

And last, but certainly not least, a very timely and funny post at the Matasano Chargen Blog. This entry goes over a topic that I'm currently studying in detail, password authentication. Most people claim they KNOW authentication, but you should really read this posting just to make sure you really do KNOW what you think you KNOW. It's sad how many broken authentication systems I run into each year. (*None of this is cutting edge, if anything it's a fun read from a relatively funny author*)
