Jeeps....

When a chip is manufactured, it has a model number and a unique serial
number hard wired into the electronics, and also printed or stamped on
the ceramic top surface.

The model identity and serial number can be checked by simply reading
it off the surface, or as a double check against fraud, obtained by
reading it electronically from within the chip. The ID is not flashed
into the electronics, as this could be changed..... it is hardwired
during the assembly process.

The CPU within your PC or MAC is one example.

EPROM identity codes? Not a computer guy, but have a question. Might
these identity codes sort of be a key to enter the program; thus
allowing one to alter programing. Maybe I'm thinking of source code?
Or is it not nesessary for a computer person who knows how to change
things?

This EPROM thing is what caught my eye. I thought the "E" in EPROM
stood for eraseable. A PROM is not eraseable. Also, still curious
about identity codes.

I don't think it's that difficult. There are two optimum strategies,
one short term and one long term. In the long term you need a strategy
with big tails since the negative one is covered (insured), much like
the Greenspan/Bernanke put for banking stocks, hence "sub-prime"
loans. The obvious place to start is the royal only strategy, followed
by the straightflush or better strategy, etc. The only question is
which one if any is most positive. In the short term, you start with
the last hand. The obvious goal is to beat your buyin, therefore the
optimum strategy is the one that maximizes your chances of hitting
that goal, including the option of not playing at all. The next to the
last hand is similar, except now you have two hands over which to
maximize your chances. Iterate back to the first hand and you have
your complete short term strategy, see Wong's "Casino Tournament
Strategy" for details. The key difference is that in the short term
you want to win each round, in the long term you want to maximize the
average result even if some or even many rounds are losers.
