Cracking the Smartcards
hanuman writes: "So you know you're a true hacker when: 'Breaking the encryption alone would cost up to $5m. The process demanded the use of ultra-expensive electron-scanning microscopes, with the team probing wafer-thin chips no bigger than a thumbnail. Each chip contained up to 50 layers, with each layer in turn carrying up to 1,000 transistors, every one of which had to be pulled apart and analysed.'." This is a follow-up to the Vivendi vs. News Corp. story with more details about what is alleged to have occurred. Update: 03/14 12:28 GMT by M : And yet another story, which alleges that the head of security at NDS funded the website that distributed the hack for their rival's smart cards.
The Bell curve give practically a thousand citations.
Attacking it would require a person to attack a thousand other researchers.
The bell curve was attacked becaue it rasied the sensitive FACT that at IQ 124 a person is 8 times more likely to be male than female at that IQ.
And that Blacks score one standard deviation lower in over 100 different intelligence tests compared to whites.
The Blacks not having IQs similar to whites and more likely to be on welfare or be in prison is why the "Bell Curve" was attacked by socialists.
But its based on fact.
You can breed smarter rats in very few generations you know.
Maybe you are black? Why do you hate the Bell Curve? Did you ever think of reading it?
Why do you think all people are born equal?
Maybe you are one of the 400 mediocre engineers and cant handle it.
why don't you just do it like this and save everyone the migraine-like experience of reading your posts?
