I would think just the opposite. Anything that moves is going to be rolling in it for the weekend. Just think, all those geeks that finally have the opportunity to buy sex!

Oh the opportunity is there, but sex at the expense of possibly missing a Fed being spotted? Not on your life!

I wanted to pick up the 3k smart card reader that looked like a brick with a db9 serial interface... that would have been fun to add to my collection :) but I think they were selling it for 300 bux.. made me almost pass out.. you can get a brand new one for around 60.

Not sure about witch smart card reader your talking about but i got mine from ebay for 10$ like 6 month ago and it also read magnetic strip... the same seller still sell some on ebay here is a link

I have smart cards readers up the wazoo. i just wanted this obviously ancient POS reader for my collection... i really doubt it was functional... or even ISO... I mean it was seriously the size of a brick, and looked like it was made out of radio shack parts, beige casing with an icon of a smart card and what direction to feed it.

Thanks for the link though :)

Have you tried making a fake ATM machine at the side of your house and see who you get?

Hmmm... could make a pretty hilarious halloween costume... even playing back the dialtone and modem handshake...

When I was a kid I would glue nickels to the ground and watch folks try to pull them up. Cheap entertainment for five cents.

If I had card readers that looked like they worked, whether they did or not, I could have a blast placing those in places where you'd never expect to use an ATM card for a purchase. Bubble gum machine, soda machine, newspaper rack, parking meter, restroom door....

Haha, I can't do that to people anymore, i have figured out they are too much like sheep, cattle, lemmings... once in a while you find a brain out there.. but not enough to win a bet on.

[astcell]

Well hopefully you'll find some smart people at the con. I'd worry about the 46 year old guy in tights at the Star Trek convention though.

My favorite ones are the people that dress up as Klingons and speak klingon... that is pretty sweet... though I must say Vulcan chicks rock... though I have been in pretty heavy discussion on the variance of Trekkie, Trekker, etc... of course there are always the kirk-whores... man I wish william shatner would sign this cd.. :)

We actually had a group of people that dressed up like a klingon family or somthing and would goto the ST exp like every week. I have so many story of ther fucked up adventures, it was pathetic.

haha, you should write a book:
Memoirs from the STE
I would certainly buy it... I love to hear ST related hijinks.

I read about a college that offered a language class in Klingon. It was packed solid.
