So just include a large "salt" field on the card itself. That way brute-forcing becomes impractical, and you need both the PIN and the data from the card to construct the hash.
They already do this. It's called an ANSI pin block and combines digits from the card number, not including the check digit which is deterministic, with the clear PIN block before encrypting it. The result is encrypted using 3DES and the current working key. This is all done inside a tamper resistant encryption module that is a part of the pin pad. The encrypted pin block is then handed to the host application on the ATM to be sent to the switch.
Oh and by the way, modern ATMs use public key cryptography to receive the randomly generated working key from the processing system that drives it. They also use digital signatures to validate who sent it.
...just have some computer that is hacked into the ATM network pretending to be an ATM.
And then what? You'll maliciously transfer funds between accounts? Unless your fictional ATM can spit out non-fictional money, there doesn't seem to be a point.
According to this article by Peter Cohen from Macworld, Macheist beat them to it. Macheist gave their members free Mac applications if they would tweet about the Macheist bundle.
Here's a link to the youtube video of the actual run. It's quite interesting to see the difference between the ice version and the land speed record version of the craft. Apparently there are some incredible downforces being generated as well.
I could get more than $5,000 for it but I like the idea of coming here and showcasing what I can do and get some headlines for the company I work for (Independent Security Evaluators).
Because everyone wants to hire a security firm that employs morally bankrupt people. I'm sure his employers are so proud.
How does having to grovel to police officers lest you upset them and they ruin your life (apparently they have this much power in your country) make you the freest people on earth?
It doesn't. The problem, you see, is that you are thinking about the old US. You know, the fabled one you hear stories about. This is the new US.
It is the wrong way to go about it, but let's be honest; The only thing which they can test with purchasing is the install mechanism, and they can do that anyway. They already have their app.
Maybe I have already spent $399 for the platform and don't want to spend another $199 to buy a second one just so I can use the phone as my daily communications device.
I would guess that you only have to comply with this if you run your own open source firmware on your router. For eveyone else they can just get the logs from the NSA database.
If you throw gravel at several hundred meters per second so as to get the doppler signature required for the system to act, it had better dodge your gravel.
Of course, that won't be very efficient; the gravel would probably disintegrate.
Hmm, maybe if you make metal gravel? And make it aerodynamic? Hmm...
They already have such a thing. It's called a claymore mine.
I still remember well the 'special' tools required to open a Mac's case.
My favorite "special tool" was the grounding rod needed for the Mac Plus so that you didn't electrocute yourself on the high voltage components of the CRT. Nothing gets your full attention like working on a computer by reaching through the monitor.

Whoooosh!!!

Right, because we all know that if an application is slow, the solution is to add more Java.
They already know. Have you seen the SMS rates in the US?

That's why I jump on my neighbor's open router when I want to visit TPB.

Except this is about Verizon Wireless the cellular carrier, not Verizon the ISP.
Sounds like you have found an exciting marketing opportunity. When does the first one go on sale?

Now that was certainly an interesting typo.
From their main page:
I guess not.

So if you buy the advertising you can also get makeup at a discount?

I was going to write up a well thought out reply to your post, but then I saw this and I realized you were right.

That's why you fire two shots from the ion cannon first to clear a lane!
What do you call someone who speaks three languages?
Trilingual.
What do you call someone who speaks two languages?
Bilingual.
What do you call someone who speaks one language?
American.
But did it suggest pr0n as an alternate search term?
Knowing Comcast, I'm surprised they didn't bill everyone for the whole Pay-Per-View movie!
