You need 667 - satan's retarded brother.

-f0dder (November 16, 2007, 06:04 PM)

Hahaha~!

And 665, the neighbor of the Beast!

I wonder which one is the number of the breast?

-f0dder (November 16, 2007, 06:04 PM)

8

Just turn it sideways and put 2 dots in there. 

Or maybe 8008 or 80085... Not sure...

Tip: Search for dictators. Tons of candidates there. The most fitting for the job: Pol Pot and Idi Amin Dada.

Perhaps those two were more than in league with Satan, they were the devil in person.

-Lashiec (November 16, 2007, 05:36 PM)

No doubt!

I just got off the phone with my mother a little while ago and told her about Anti-Christ Hunter and adding in famous evil personalities. She immediately mentioned Idi Amin.

I LOVE that top 10!

Maybe you want to custom add certain people who are known to be in league with satan, as warnings and exceptions.

For example, you might have a list of 20 people whom you know are in league with satan but who's computed numbers in not 666.

Then when someone elses number matches up with the number of one of these people, the user might get a warning like:
This person is not officially in league with satan, but because they match the number of JOHN HIGLESTONNE they should be considered potentially dangerous.

-mouser (November 15, 2007, 12:51 PM)

Great idea! I'll start on a list then post back - hopefully people can help me flush out the list.

My first idea there is to have actual pictures of the people. e.g. Adolf Hitler at the Nuremberg rallies, painting of Vlad Tepes, pic of Joseph Stalin, mug shot of Jeffrey Dahmer, etc.

However, I need the pics to be in the public domain. That will fly for older historic figures like Adolf, but some newer ones may not.

So if anyone has any bad guy historic figures to suggest, please keep in mind the pic and how I can get one that I can use. Wikipedia is pretty good for public domain pictures.

Suggestion: Any way to incorporate this as a background process, so I'm protected from Satan 24/7, the same way virus scanners work?

-Ralf Maximus (November 14, 2007, 08:31 AM)

That would then be the "Satanic Sentinel", or "Angelic Sentinel" - not sure which... But "Sentinel" definitely belongs in the name of a Windows Service or UNIX Daemon (irony?) that protects you from Satan...

I love the page.

That had to be the most fun I have ever had reading a license agreement. 

-app103 (November 14, 2007, 09:41 AM)

Would you expect anything less from lawyers? We all know where they go when they die!

Now...the software itself...

I had some very interesting results.

I thought it should have been a lower score for that little demon I live with: (see attachment in previous post)

-app103 (November 14, 2007, 09:41 AM)

I've always suspected there was something very dark with cats...

8's are supposed to be lucky...I guess I should be quite happy with the results for my name: (see attachment in previous post)

-app103 (November 14, 2007, 09:41 AM)

There's something very special about 8! (My favorite number!) 8 is 2 (representing binary) raised to the power of 3 (a holy number or lucky number or whatever)! I figure that it's got to be a good one.

And I always knew my husband's ex-wife (name blurred to protect the guilty) was bad news: (see attachment in previous post)

-app103 (November 14, 2007, 09:41 AM)

Your suspicions have been confirmed with absolute certainty! He's lucky he escaped from the Harlot of Babylon!

I had this fantastic idea while playing around with it. I am definitely going to be posting something 'relevant' about this application in my blog very soon. It will be quite amusing. 

-app103 (November 14, 2007, 09:41 AM)

Awesome! Let me know as I'd love to read it!

SUGGESTIONS:  Add these additional numeric triggers (with suitable graphic):

333 = Mark of the Semi-Christ
13013 = Mark of the SubGenius

-Ralf Maximus (November 14, 2007, 02:47 PM)

DRAT! I knew that I was missing something! I'd thought of that and then got so caught up with other things that I missed other special numbers! That's coming next! Thanks for reminding me!

what if you could save out the image with the related name so you could email it on to the culprit - then they'll know you've got their number.

-nudone (November 15, 2007, 02:16 AM)

Hmmm... Or just send it into automatic DDOS spam mode to bury the devil worshipper in a mountain of... No... Wait... That's just a bit illegal... But saving the pic would be good! I'll need to get to work on that one! Thanks for the suggesstion!

Again - thanks everyone for the feedback! I'll try to get them all in the next version, v6.6.6 Part II.

Hello All,

I've redone a little utility I posted here a while back and incorporated some good feedback from nudone.

Now, it's just for fun, but never-the-less, I'd like to see if anyone has any ideas on how it could be a bit more fun.

Anyways, let me know what you think of the new and improved Anti-Christ Hunter v6.6.6. (The version number will be stuck at v6.6.6 eternally for every release.)



The web design there is entirely thanks to nudone! Many hearty thanks for that!

Anyways, before I formally release it, I'd just like to see if anyone has any feedback.

It's pretty intuitive, so there's no help available. Obviously the Arabic option only works with Arabic, etc. etc. etc.

I like that LOLinator! I tried it with www.altools.net, and got a good laugh from a picture there:



It was in the section about ALPass (which is an automatic web login & password manager).

This one gave me a laugh too:



Looks like they've got some pretty good logic there to choose pictures based on content. While I think the background kind of sucks, it's pretty well done. I'm sure that took quite a bit of time to figure out how to choose pics.

There are SOOOOO many energy saving technologies out there that aren't being taken advantage of. Patents create part of the problem, but you've got to recover R&D costs...

Availability is another problem. Then there are technologies buried by vested interests.

Then there are "eco-friendly" technologies that are anything but - they damage the environment more than they help.

I'd love to get in on a business that genuinely made a real positive difference. The idea sounds good - but I don't have the necessary expertise for electronics design.

I could probably find a decent manufacturer (but not in China - that's just asking for the product to be stolen).

Getting media attention for something like that would be simple - they're always up for a "green" product.

Happy birthday!

On a totally unrelated note, today is my unbirthday!

Spoiler

`They gave it me,' Humpty Dumpty continued thoughtfully, as he crossed one knee over the other and clasped his hands round it, `they gave it me--for an un-birthday present.'

`I beg your pardon?' Alice said with a puzzled air.

`I'm not offended,' said Humpty Dumpty.

`I mean, what IS an un-birthday present?'

`A present given when it isn't your birthday, of course.'

Alice considered a little. `I like birthday presents best,' she said at last.

`You don't know what you're talking about!' cried Humpty Dumpty. `How many days are there in a year?'

`Three hundred and sixty-five,' said Alice.

`And how many birthdays have you?'

`One.'

`And if you take one from three hundred and sixty-five, what remains?'

`Three hundred and sixty-four, of course.'

Humpty Dumpty looked doubtful. `I'd rather see that done on paper,' he said.

Alice couldn't help smiling as she took out her memorandumbook, and worked the sum for him:

365 1 ___
364 ___

Humpty Dumpty took the book, and looked at it carefully. `That seems to be done right--' he began.

`You're holding it upside down!' Alice interrupted.

`To be sure I was!' Humpty Dumpty said gaily, as she turned it round for him. `I thought it looked a little queer. As I was saying, that SEEMS to be done right--though I haven't time to look it over thoroughly just now--and that shows that there are three hundred and sixty-four days when you might get un-birthday presents--'

`Certainly,' said Alice.

`And only ONE for birthday presents, you know. There's glory for you!'

General Software Discussion / OS Religious Wars...

« Last post by Renegade on November 09, 2007, 11:05 PM »

So I've got my dev box working (needed a new motherboard) and back to working on FuckSatan.com and some of the toys for it when I come across this...

“Woe to you, Oh Earth and Sea,
for the Devil sends the beast with wrath
because he knows the time is short…

Let him who hath understanding reckon
the distro of the beast,
for it is a Linux distro,
its distro is Ubuntu Satanic Edition.”

Ubuntu Satanic Edition!

HAhahahaha~! Ubuntu SE!

What is Ubuntu Satanic Edition?

Ubuntu SE is not currently a distro, it’s more a series of themes to transform the look of Ubuntu. You must first download and install one of the standard Ubuntu variants and then upgrade to Ubuntu SE. Don’t worry; you can easily change your system back if you intend to recant.

I may need to dump my Suse distro in favor of Ubuntu!

And while Microsoft has Windows CE, Linux has Ubuntu CE... Ubuntu Christian Edition that is...

And the counterpart to Windows ME would be Ubuntu ME... Muslim Edition!

Now... Can anyone here deny that all those Linux fantics truly are religious about their OS?

Living Room / Re: Cool idea (does it exist?) - Find websites that sell your email address

« Last post by Renegade on November 09, 2007, 01:34 AM »

I host my own domain + email server, so it may be easier for me to do this than for other people, but I create aliases for my actual email address based on the names of the web sites I need the address for.

To explain:

My real address is [email protected].  If I'm registering at dodgysite.com, I create an alias, [email protected], and register with that address.  If, at any point in the future, I start getting spam addressed to [email protected], I not only know which site leaked my address, but I can just delete the alias and the spam stops!

-stylecrime (November 09, 2007, 12:48 AM)

Unfortuneately, this isn't always the case. If you get a virus - that theory is out the door. If you accidentally send an email to someone from that address, again, it's out the door.

Spammers also have tools to make up addresses that are likely to hit.

The problem is that so often you just can't know with certainty about these things. You can gain confidence in a conclusion, but proof/truth is elusive.

Using the alias is certainly a very good idea though! A friend of mine used to do that years ago with Bigfoot when Bigfoot was new. That was the first time I'd heard about the tactic. Still works today!

Computers are tools. No more. They exist to serve a need. (Playing and having fun by hacking around is a "need" as well.)

Once they sink to the level of being the end in themselves, they degenerate into something as low as politics.

Sorry - Couldn't resist the cynical approach there.

The "sci-fi" approach is that they become like the Replicators in Star Gate Atlantis. []

I didn't know that you were a fellow Ontarionianite (or whatever the heck we're called).

It's FINALLY starting to get a bit colder here in Seoul, South Korea.

You'd be surprised at how much you actually miss the cold!

It's kind of funny sometimes here - I hear North Americans complaining about the cold or see them shivering. My first question is always, "So, where you from?" As you might guess, most people are from much further south than Ontario.

Anyways - I'm so totally off topic here... 

Yeah - Laws are stupid! I hate them!

No - Really! I mean it! Don't you think that it's just completely retarded that we need a law to tell us not to kill each other? That truly is completely insane!

But those laws were very amusing. Here's a place where you can lose a few hours laughing: http://www.dumblaws.com/ (Yeah - That's totally vengeance for all those people that keep posting Tower Defence stuff!)
