Yea, that's good. I wish our banks would adopt that as a standard. A combination of automatically changing pin and private secure password is virtually unhackable. The current state, it's not all that difficult to gather information about a user and then guess their password... with a fob like that, the only way to get access is through another route or a software vulnerability.

Without using ID card or Mobile ID, the transaction amount is limited to 500 or 600$. So if one has to transfer larger amounts they have to use the id card. And to use the bank account i need two codes, one 4 digit and one 5 digit code plus the physical card.

Everything is hackable but it cant be done by some 13 year old kid who is watching cartoons and hacking into places at the same time.

No, no, don't worry, I got all those penis pictures just fine. You might want to get those warts and that caked stuff around the tip checked out though. :P Hehehe.

Sorry Moleman, I got the message while out and well, since it featured a fairly random url with more random login and password info I was like "huh?" and forgot about it until now. :P Leffe ftw tho!

Post RESURRECTION!
Don't know what this thread is all about, it probably derailed after 5 posts, i just know that i want to promote one kind of beer:

Gulden Draak!

It really rules. Might have something to do with me getting a bottle of 75cl for free for drinking 6 of them. But it really really is a very nice beer.

"downside" is that it is quite strong: 10,5%

that's why i have to retype every sentence (lol)

But honestly i recommend this to all of you!

I can only endorse what J said....Gulden Draak is a great beer, but sometimes a little hard to find. Even here in Belgium (when you don't go to a wholesaler or specialist store).

I'm excited I finally convinced Satis to let us get a kegerator! Woohoo. So it hopefully will ship today or tomorrow and have it in the next couple of weeks! I am seriously hopeful this will be a great buy for us since we love to have people over and parties etc. No more wasted beer in the keg after a party and less trips to the beer store. Plus the price of our favorite beers just keep going up and up. So I hope this saves us the money I think it will. Now just to make room for it in our house.

Yea...soon we'll have a permanent keg in our house. No more beer taking up fridge space, no more massive recycling, an probably a major reduction in costs... once you get the keg. it's only $30 to switch out and empty for a full. Considering you can't even get a case of most beer for that, that's pretty damned nice.

Re the Gulden Drak, I think our beer store carries it. I'm not sure, I'll need to check next time we go.

Is it like a real tap, the one you see in bars? Or a smaller version?

A friend of mine has a 'perfect draft' installation which is basically a small tap that works with minikegs.

http://www.perfectdraft.com/

They've got about 6-7 beers that offer the minikegs, including Leffe. :)

Yeah i was wondering that as well. Because if it's a real tap, with real kegs that would be 120 to 180/200 glasses (depending on keg). Don't know the average beer consumption of shiny and satis, but i guess that would only be usefull for parties. :wink:

i just realise i could google it, but i can't be arsed

It's a real tap on a real keg. Here's a pic

Obviously a stock photo, but that's the one we have. It's basically a little fridge with a beer tap on top and a CO2 tank on the back. We drink a decent amount of beer ourselves, plus we have people over. It's also environmentally more friendly than accumulating huge amounts of glass bottles and aluminum cans.

Plus a keg will stay good for around 45-60 days in a kegorator, so that is a decent amount of time for the beer to be consumed. We did an estimate on how much beer we were buying on a regular basis with our friends coming over (even with them bringing over beer too) and it made a lot of sense to get one. Plus it is freaking cool!!! Drafts also have less carbonation, so it means less belching etc. (Yea I know rude to mention but it is so true!)

Ah okay, didn't know about the refridgerator part. A typical keg stays okay for consumption for like a week or so. Dunno with the Perfect Drafts that Ox mentioned, but i think they don't last that long either. But if you have more than a month, i imagine it will be profitable. And serieusly cool of course.
