WTP 203: Oyster Card Hacks, Sahara Solar Farms, e-Cars Now!, and Bletchley Park
A very full program this week. First, we look at the International Olympic Committee's test for EPO, a performance-enhancing drug. The test for EPO may not be very effective. Also, a card used for travel on the London Underground appears vulnerable to hacking and cloning. Then, we hear about plans to build giant solar farms in the Sahara desert, and also how Finns are using a wiki to convert gas-powered cars to electric vehicles. And we end with a look at efforts to save Bletchley Park, sight of some of the most important code-breaking work during World War II.
