Credit Card Prank

Isn't it true!? I always curse when I have to sign a new card, WTF is that little strip good for??? Retards who designed that.
And yes, most cashiers don't even look at your signature.
Also, I have a different name on my credit cards than the name on my ID, but the same last name. Sometimes when they do check my ID, different name, no problem, and they don't even look at my face! There have been a handful of ocassions when the cashier looked at me and asked why the names are different, so I pull out another ID with the same name on the card.
It's a bad system really...

This got me thinking about something I heard recently.....thoughts?
Innovative Card Technologies has invented a smarter card. The ICT DisplayCard can do anything that a payment, building access or ID card can do, AND it provides the authentication of a token – all packed into an ISO-compliant, self-powered card. How did we do it? InCard has embedded an operating system into the card – the press of a button on the card activatesa battery, circuit, and chip, which sends an algorithm-generated passcode to an embedded display. Each time the button is pressed, another passcode is generated. This passcode is good for only one use during a limited time, thus proving possession of the card and guarding against electronic fraud.
In order to best serve the needs of our customers, InCard offers the ICT DisplayCard as three products (ICT Payment Card, ICT Key Card and ICT Token) with three separate functions.
Each ICT DisplayCard shares these features:
Embedded display generates one-time password (OTP) at push of a button
OTP generated with OATH or custom algorithm
Person must have physical card to generate OTP
Card artwork tailored to customer request
Environmentally safe to throw away
ISO certified

Not too surprising, I have had a few of those things happen to me, like once when my signature was worn off and I was asked to sign the back of the card again by a clerk...I did and if matched the receipt as well...duh! My brother prints on the back of his credit cards, "Ask for ID", and he said 9 out of 10 times he is never asked!
