Useful information for my friends....

If you are ever forced by a thief or someone to take money out of an ATM machine, enter your pin number reversed.So if your number is 1254 mark 4521.The ATM machine will give you your money, but will automatically recognize this as a plea for help and will alert the police unknown to the thief.This option is in all ATM machines, but not many people know this.Please pass this information on to others. No harm in keeping this inmind!!

considering that you are interested in programming, you should have seen a very obvious fault in the advice you are giving your friends

what happens if someone has a symmetric pin code??
think about it..

well, thanks for this advice, but this was an obvious thing which came to my mind even when i was typing that post, nywyz, so let me tell you that just for that sake, first i checked it with my atm by typing wrong password, and then i even changed it to a pallindrome, but nothing special seemed to happen, and then i came to know that this is something yet to be implemented in this country, but i am a bit lazy to edit my old posts...
