You mentioned you know how to solve Noakes' challenge. OK. Care to spell it out? What is the solution? I'm eager to learn.
You seem to lament the fact that people don't learn from history. Perhaps one way to increase the odds that people learn, is to write down what the right solution is?

A little of topic, any thoughts to VISA's extrodinarily abrupt behaviour over stopping all ePassport issued VISA cards?

Aside from the seamier side (which all financial systems attract) a large number of "little" people used the system to be paid for their legitimate labours (code cutting etc) and VISA appears to have left them high and dry.
