Living Room / I Need You to Hack Into My School Computer. Are There Pigeons on Your Campus?
« Last post by mouser on December 22, 2006, 02:32 PM »
File this under the "Truth is Stranger Than Fiction" category.

Read the full transcript of emails here: http://www.attrition...stal/z/033/0871.html

Then for the icing on the cake, read the real news reports about it: http://www.networkwo...mmunity/?q=node/9999

Subject: Re: Question for you or other Attrition members

: Wow, I feel dumb now. I honestly cannot rember if there were pigeons on
: campus or not. A lot of crazy squirrels, but I can't remember pigeons.
: Just for my own edification, why do you need to know that? I'll find out
: for you.

Hey, squirrels work fine. First, let's be clear. You are soliciting me to
break the law and hack into a computer across state lines. That is a
federal offense and multiple felonies. Obviously I can't trust anyone and
everyone that mails such a request, you might be an FBI agent, right?

So, I need three things to make this happen:

1. A picture of a squirrel or pigeon on your campus. One close-up, one
with background that shows buildings, a sign, or something to indicate you
are standing on the campus.

2. The information I mentioned so I can find the records once I get into
the database.

3. Some idea of what I get for all my trouble.

Yes, this functionality is on purpose when you create your OWN custom node caption,
but what lanux is pointing out is that it is happening also when LBC displays the list of filenames in a directory, which is a definite no-no.

Living Room / Re: Tower Defence: Flash Game of the Day
« Last post by mouser on December 22, 2006, 12:46 PM »
The game has a nasty bug whereby a tower sometimes randomly disappears when you build a new one.

that's not a bug, that's hyper-realistic simulation of termites infiltrating your tower.

Newsletter for December 22nd, 2006
"Software Snowflakes"


"If you read nothing else on our site, read our BLOG"





1. Official News and Announcements
As the year draws to an end, it's time for a little reflection and celebration.. Time for us to get together and figure out what we're doing right, and what we can improve, and what new stuff we want to do in 2007..


2. Accessibility Game Programming Contest - Deadline Dec 22nd - Dec 31st
Do you fancy yourself a game programmer, or have you been looking for an excuse to give it a try?  We've just announced the prizes for the contest and they are outstanding.  You should submit your game by December 22nd - then you'll then have until Dec 31st to improve it and resubmit.  We will choose two top winners, one for each category (Audio-only or Switch game), and also provide some runner up prizes.  We're giving out over $15,000 worth of prizes including some deluxe passes and proceedings for the 2007 Game Development Conference:


3. The N.A.N.Y. Programming Challenge
N.A.N.Y. stands for "New Apps for the New Year", and it's our challenge to all coders who visit our site to release a brand new app (even if it's just a small beta tool), on Jan 1st 2007.  You don't need to host the program with us if you don't want, just put it on your web page and send us an announcement.  But you need to sign up a pledge to participate now!  All participants get a limited edition Cody Mug.


4. December  Discounts
Only one more week to take advantage of December's Special Discounts and Giveaways - they end on December 31st!

EXTRA SPECIAL HOLIDAY BONUS: The author of Vista Start Menu has decided to give a special gift to all DonationCoder.com newsletter readers - a free copy of the full version of Vista Start Menu without any time limits (the only catch is you don't get any updates).  Redeem your copy: here.


5. Skrommel Returns from Vacation!
One of the favorite areas of our site is the Coding Snacks Section, where everyday users can make suggestions or requests for new small freeware utilities, which may be coded by various coders who hang out at DonationCoder.com.  The most prolific of such coders, Skrommel, has been on a bit of a vacation, but he recently came back with a vengeance!


6. Other Mini-Reviews and Software Updates
Some minor software updates to report, plus a great new software mini-review from one of our members:


7. Software Discussion
What's new in the world of software? Are you good at finding new software discoveries? Stop by the forum and help us find stuff!  And don't miss our Found Deals and Discounts section where people post great software discounts they find on the web.


8. Fun Games, Gadgets, and Diversions
Everyone needs a break from work every now and then..


9. Website Discoveries, Debates, and Discussions
There are always new website services popping up every day, and lots of debate about the future direction of the web.


10. Developer's Corner
The Developer's Corner section of our website isn't just for programmers, it's for people interested in starting their own business, website developers, etc.


11. The Great GOE (Getting Organized Experiment) of 2006 (GTD)
Well it's almost over and we've taken a bit of a breather - but we're not done yet! If you haven't participated yet, it's still not too late!


12. Website of the Month
Did you know that DonationCoder.com has a list of all of our past best-of-the-web recommendations and a list of recommended websites arranged by category?
  • Our website of the month in December is Gamasutra - a site about professional game development.

farah9,

what version do you have installed, and can you remember what version last worked (and was it on same computer)?
and have you tried rebooting since installing?

the latest beta release of url snooper uses a new release of the winpcap sniffing engine so it may be not be working perfectly on all systems..

ill update the text to be clearer; the only requirement is that it be playable by someone who CANT see.
it's fine if it has visuals for those that can.

so this is fine:
My app will be perfectly usable by sightless participants, but it has enhancements that should make it usuable by folks that can see.
