He ran the Demographics Department ("Service de la démographie") of Vichy which soon through a merger with the SGF (General Statistics of France) became the new National Statistics Service, which he continued to head up.  In this capacity, he sabotaged the Nazi census of France, saving untold numbers of Jewish people from death camps.  The IEEE newspaper, "The Institute", describes Carmille as being an early ethical hacker: "Over the course of two years, Carmille and his group purposely delayed the process by mishandling the punch cards.  He also hacked his own machines, reprogramming them so that they’d never punch information from Column 11 [which indicated religion] onto any census card."  He also used his department to help mobilize French resistance in Algeria.

Hairstyle: A hairstyle, hairdo, or haircut refers to the styling of hair, usually on the human scalp.  Sometimes, this could also mean an editing of beard hair.  The fashioning of hair can be considered an aspect of personal grooming, fashion, and cosmetics, although practical, cultural, and popular considerations also influence some hairstyles.  The oldest known depiction of hair braiding dates back about 30,000 years.  In ancient civilizations, women's hair was often elaborately and carefully dressed in special ways.  In Imperial Rome, women wore their hair in complicated styles.  From the time of the Roman Empire until the Middle Ages, most women grew their hair as long as it would naturally grow.  During the Roman Empire as well as in the 16th century in the western world, women began to wear their hair in extremely ornate styles.  In the later half of the 15th century and on into the 16th century a very high hairline on the forehead was considered attractive.  During the 15th and 16th centuries, European men wore their hair cropped no longer than shoulder-length.  In the early 17th century male hairstyles grew longer, with waves or curls being considered desirable.
