interesting denial of service idea
MIT Project aims human buffer overflow at Secret Service
Apparently the Secret Service takes an interest in people who value their privacy and inquire about the yellow-dotted “serial numbers” some or all color printers emit as a way to identify counterfeiters.
It’s a thought to sign up as many people as you can to send their own inquiries to the printer manufacturers. On the other hand, does anybody know if a (carefully selected) pattern of yellow dots wouldn’t solve the privacy problem with less exposure?
