Malta, vamos combinar uma coisa, OK? Fica terminantemente proibido
de mandar bocas sobre o Cartao de Cidadao quem:

a) achar que o cartao tem dados guardados no chip e tem la a
assinatura digitalizada; isto so mostra que nao percebe nada
de seguranca e de infraestruturas de chaves publicas (PKI)

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Public_key_infrastructure

(o sistema de seguranca e publico e universal)

b) achar que o cartao e uma miragem, que esta em testes, piloto,

tanto nos Acores como no Continente

(o sistema tem varios componentes, de varios fornecedores, estando
a ser implementado por fases, como mandam as boas praticas de qualquer
projecto de sistemas de informacao)

c) nao tiver ido a um dos workshops de esclarecimento tecnico, gratuitos,
onde e explicado direitinho como tudo funciona e inclusive da para levar
para casa para desenvolver aplicacoes

por ai anda a mandar postas de pescada)

Ah yes, “Bottom”… Nothing like obvious innuendos and mindless
violence to come up with a classic in British Comedy.

For the “mental” option (this on is the “heavy”), check out
“Fast Show”.
