Penipuan di ATM

THREAD INI HANYA UNTUK EDUKASI
DAN AGAR KITA/PIHAK BANK UNTUK LEBIH BERHATI HATI

METODE 1:

1. Oknum memasukan suatu plastik tipis, bening sisi bawah di mesin ATM sebelah bawah tempat pemasukkan kartu ATM
2. Korban memasukan kartu ATM, mesin ATM mendeteksi ada kartu masuk dan menjalankan program dan menampilkan "Enter PIN"
3. Karena data Nomor Kartu (di magnetic stripe) tidak terbaca terhalang plastik.... sistem akan terus berusaha membaca data stripe itu terus menerus.
4. Korban menunggu karena sistem lama / hang atau kejadian seperti kartu tertelan, maka korban akan keluar dari ruang ATM
5. Oknum masuk kembali dan menarik plastik tersebut keluar
6. Mesin ATM akan membaca kartu dan meneruskan data ke ATM Data Center Proses "Approve" / "Valid"
7. PASANG KAMERA KECIL, ATAU HP KAMERA TERSEMBUNYI UNTUK MEREKAN KODE PIN YANG KORBAN TEKAN.
8. Oknum tinggal memasukkan jumlah uang yang mau diambil dan setelah transaksi selesai mengambil kartu Korban
9. Komplain ke Bank juga tidak berguna, karena kartu ATM dan PIN "Benar" secara sistem dan tidak ada bukti kartu tertelan.

Sistem Teknologi Informasi Kurangi Kesalahan dalam Penerimaan CPNS

LIPI sejak tahun 2005 mampu mengurangi human error yang terjadi selama proses penerimaan pegawai negeri sipil (PNS) melalui sistem Informasi Penerimaan CPNS (SIPC) yang telah diimplementasikan pada penerimaan CPNS. Teknologi informasi ini mampu memberi solusi terhadap permasalahan yang selama ini terjadi.

Dr Laksana Tri Handoko dari Tim Gabungan Jaringan Lembaga Ilmu Pengetahuan Indonesia (TGJ-LIPI) sekaligus penanggung jawab SIPC menyatakan, ada dua jenis kesalahan yang sering terjadi selama proses penerimaan CPNS. Pertama adalah kesalahan administratif yang tidak disengaja yang lebih diakibatkan oleh buruknya sistem dan rendahnya kualitas panitia. Kesalahan kedua adalah manipulasi yang memang dengan sengaja dilakukan oleh oknum-oknum internal di instansi-instansi pemerintah. Kedua sumber kesalahan ini, kata Laksana, bisa terjadi karena memang dalam regulasi dan sistem penerimaan CPNS skala nasional tidak bisa dihilangkan, atau belum secara tegas diatur. "Di sinilah teknologi informasi diharapkan mampu memberikan solusi," jelasnya.

Tidak hanya mengurangi kedua sumber kesalahan tersebut, menurut Laksana penggunaan teknologi informasi berpotensi menekan waktu pemrosesan serta biaya secara signifikan. Mulai tahun 2005, LIPI telah menerapkan SIPC sebagai cara cerdas dalam penerimaan CPNS. "Lebih dari sekadar sistem informasi, SIPC LIPI (http:www.cpns.lipi.go.id) merupakan sistem terintegrasi berbasis web, baik untuk front-office maupun back-office,'' ungkapnya.

Lebih jauh Laksana menyatakan, seluruh proses penerimaan, dari registrasi oleh pelamar sampai proses administrasi seluruhnya dilakukan secara otomatis dan hampir tanpa intervensi manusia. "Dengan adanya sistem ini, maka pelamar tidak perlu berdesakan karena semuanya dilakukan melalui web,'' tegasnya.

Proses itu, kata Laksana, kemudian dilanjutkan dengan pengiriman dokumen fisik melalui pos yang jumlahnya juga sangat minimal. Surat lamarannya pun cukup dicetak langsung dari web, dan dilampiri hanya tiga lembar kertas yang menjadi syarat dokumen fisik (salinan KTP, ijazah terakhir, transkrip nilai).

Pada proses verifikasi fisik yang mengharuskan pelamar hadir langsung sehari sebelum ujian tulis, kata Laksana, bisa dilakukan dengan tertib dan hampir tanpa antrian sama sekali, karena verifikasi dan pencocokan data langsung dilakukan di depan terminal-terminal komputer sehingga bisa dilakukan dengan sangat cepat. "Sistem ini telah berhasil mendapatkan penghargaan dari Asia Pasific Information Communication and Technology (ICT) Award tahun 2006 di Indonesia, sekaligus menjadi wakil Indonesia di ajang tahunan mereka di Macao, untuk kategori e-government,'' tegasnya.

Bantal Pintar Penghenti Ngorok

Terganggu dengan dengkuran pasangan atau merasa tak nyaman dengan kebiasaan mengorok Anda? Kini tak perlu khawatir, dengan sebuah bantal ciptaan ilmuwan Jerman, ngorok tak lagi jadi masalah.

Solusi atasi ngorok ini digagas ilmuwan Jerman dengan sebuah bantal yang terhubung dengan komputer yang memungkinkan untuk mengubah posisi kepala seseorang sampai suara dengkuran berhenti.

Adalah Daryoush Bazargani, profesor ilmu komputer dari Universitas Rostock yang menemukan bantal pengatur dengkur dan memamerkan prototype bantal pintar tersebut pada konferensi kesehatan di Jerman, Rabu (03/07), seperti dilansir dari Reuters.

"Bantal ini terhubung dengan sebuah komputer seukuran buku yang diletakkan di meja sebelah tempat tidur. Komputer tersebut akan menganalisa suara dengkuran," papar Bazargani.

"Komputer akan mengatur sirkulasi udara, yakni dengan memperkecil atau memperbesar kapasitas udara dalam bantal, sehingga posisi kepala akan berubah. Proses ini dilakukan sampai aliran udara yang keluar melalui hidung menjadi lancar dan suara dengkuran bisa diminimalkan," lanjut Bazargani.

Tak hanya menghentikan suara dengkuran, bantal ergonomis ini juga berfungsi sebagai alat pijat leher. Bisa dibayangkan khan nikmatnya dipijat saat kita tertidur, suara dengkur pun tak ada lagi. Kelebihan bantal pintar ini dilirik beberapa perusahaan Amerika yang antusias memproduksinya secara massal.

Sementara kepada media Bazargani mengaku menciptakan bantal tersebut agar tidur bisa lebih nyaman, mengingat dirinya sendiri juga seorang pendengkur. (reuters/rit/kpl)

The Advantage of Keeping Quiet

The Hawaiian Islands have long been known as a natural laboratory for studying evolution. Zuk et al. have assessed the effect of the selective pressure of parasitoid flies on Teleogryllus field crickets introduced to the island of Kauai. Female flies locate male crickets when they call to female crickets, and lay their eggs on the cricket; the larvae burrow into the host and consume it from within, eventually killing it. Over just 20 generations, the singing males dwindled in abundance owing to the selective pressure from the parasitoid, and a new, silent type of male—known as flatwings—became prevalent. Given that the song functions as a signal to potential mates, how do the flatwing males attract female partners?

Field experiments suggest that the silent males congregate around the few remaining singers,
increasing the chance of intercepting inquisitive females (who have possibly relaxed their
requirement that the male keep singing up to the moment of mating). Thus, natural selection has not only had a rapid population genetic effect; there has been a behavioral response as well. It remains to be seen, however, if the singing males are now too rare to support the local parasitoid population, or if the singing males will disappear entirely (and, if so, whether the crickets will find a new solution to the problem of finding mates). — AMS

Internet domain for Asia launched

Bidding has begun for prime new pieces of internet real estate with the launch of the .asia domain name. The regional domain comes after the launch of the European-based .eu name last year and aims to join .com and .net as a widely used website suffix.

Edmon Chung, from DotAsia - a Hong Kong-based group that won the right to set-up the domain - said on Tuesday: "The .asia domain acts like a channel or a portal, showing your commitment to the Asia market as a whole. It provides an easier way to direct customers to your products," he said.

"Our research has found that Asia is one of the most searched-for terms and by having a .asia website, your ranking on Google or Yahoo will become much higher."

Prices for website addresses can range from as little as $10 to several hundred dollars, depending on their desirability, Chung said.

Businesses with trademarks, governments and official bodies will be allowed to register website addresses ending with the suffix during the initial offer period. Meanwhile, the general public will be allowed to bid from February.

Firms and global brands from both inside and outside Asia were likely to be interested, and the suffix would act as a complement to country-specific domains such as .cn for China and .jp for Japan, Chung said.

Auction

He expects tourism bodies to be some of the first groups bidding for domain names, especially those with Asia-specific slogans, such as Hong Kong's "Asia's World City" and "Malaysia. Truly Asia."

The initial bidding period will be used to try and prevent disputes between organisations and individuals vying for a specific domain name, Chung said.

If several claims are deemed equally valid, they will eventually be settled by an auction run by the non-profit group.

Leading domains, which include .asia, country-specific suffixes and around 20 generic names, such as .biz or .org, are regulated by the US-based Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers - with specific addresses sold through registrars. [aljazeera]

In a Vacuum, No One Sees You Splatter

Nature may abhor a vacuum, but a vacuum abhors a mess. In the absence of air, a droplet of liquid can crash into a smooth surface without splattering, report physicists Lei Xu, Sidney Nagel, and colleagues at the University of Chicago, Illinois.

“I was very surprised to see [the splash] go away and this beautiful smooth spreading of the droplet emerge as the air pressure was reduced,” says Mark Robbins, a theorist at Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, Maryland. Robbins says he would have assumed that the splashing depended on the properties of the liquid alone.

The splash spits out a ring of smaller droplets, and Xu and Nagel were studying their sizes and speeds when they discovered that pumping away the surrounding air eliminated the splash altogether. Within a tall vacuum chamber, the researchers released droplets of alcohol from various heights onto a dry glass plate. They recorded the resulting splashes with a high-speed video camera as they varied the pressure in their apparatus, Nature may abhor a vacuum, but a vacuum abhors a mess.

The splash spits out a ring of smaller droplets, and Xu and Nagel were studying their sizes and speeds when they discovered that pumping away the surrounding air eliminated the splash altogether. Within a tall vacuum chamber, the researchers released droplets of alcohol from various heights onto a dry glass plate. They recorded the resulting splashes with a high-speed video camera as they varied the pressure in their apparatus, sucking it down as low as 1% of atmospheric pressure. The droplets struck the surface with speeds ranging from 2 to 7 meters per second, and for a given speed, the researchers found they could suppress the splash by lowering the pressure below a specific threshold.

The researchers explain the results with a simple theory. As a drop strikes the surface, liquid spreads sideways at supersonic speed, creating a shock wave.The shockwave pushes back on the liquid, and if that force is greater than the internal forces holding the liquid film together, the shock wave lifts it off the surface and creates a splash. Reducing the pressure reduces the force the shock wave exerts.

Ironically, the theory predicts that a thicker liquid should splash more easily than a thinner one. The researchers tested this prediction by dropping three types of alcohol with different viscosities. As predicted, the more viscous the alcohol, the lower the pressure needed to prevent splashing, the researchers reported. They also confirmed that a weighty gas such as krypton produced splashes at lower pressure than a lighter gas such as helium did.

“It’s just the sort of thing all physicists should do,” saysWalter Goldburg, an experimenter at the University of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.

“They spotted a nonintuitive phenomenon and pursued it” to a complete understanding. Xu and Nagel speculate that the odd phenomenon could make a splash with technologists, as it might be used to control splatter in industrial processes such as spray coating and inkjet printing.
