Has anyone looked at these people? They seem to be selling turnkey
systems for offshore digital commerce, among other things, which I believe
is fundamentally interesting. However, they seem like they're involved
in several traditional weird Government-affiliated international business
startup/consulting group/etc. projects, like educational resources, and
from what I remember of a Tim May response to them, they seemed to believe
money laundering/thoughtcrime/etc. was morally reprehensible and the
duty of technical people to prevent (I may be wrong, he may be wrong, they
may be wrong...)
[ObNonCrypto: I picked the 3-pin Medeco lock on the front of my
IBM RS/6000 320 today. I was just kind of sitting here with my new picks
and wrench and was bored and poking around, and I got it to go from Secure to
Normal. Luckily the lock turns both ways, since I was picking it backwards :(
I've been thinking about and off and on trying to pick it for several months
now -- it's a pretty impressive lock for the case on a workstation. 3-pin
Medecos are a pale comparison to the real ones, though. Guess what locks
I will specify from now on...]
