Granted another linux specific method but I'd recommend incrond. Works very well for such tasks. http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/linux-inotify-examples-to-repli...


Isn't there a slight problem whereby someone denies knowing the password, you just put them in front of the keyboard and just ask them to type something? Due to it being a subconcious memory, it 'just happens'.


It wouldn't necessarily 'just happen'. From what I can glean, the idea is that if you are trying to play the game as well as possible, then the portion that you originally learned would be played better. You could certainly intentionally play the entire game poorly, thereby masking which portion is the password.


This. As soon as data is fetched from the system (that is beyond what's required for the hack), you're headed square into darker territory. To be white hat, you find the vuln, alert the company to it, and that's that. There is no "no, really, here's a load of data I grabbed using it!". White hat is generally hired gun to hack for the good of the site/company, grey not hired, but hacks; black is for the lulz/profit.


Er, the name could be a problem. Swap the first and last letters.


Please tell me it took you some time to work this out..


After clearing up the spat drink yeah. Thought the deer had a k at the end... Oh well.


I'd be waiting for a "10 green bottles hanging wall" error.


Very respectful, and awesome closing off of the world temporarily.

Another 'use' I find - in areas where you know you'll have no signal. With the cell radios screaming to contact a station, drains the battery worse than more or less any other part (unless you have the display on 100% brightness as well as on all the time)


Nice to see this hypothesis observed by others. I long suspected that "failing to handshake with a cell tower" incurred a significant drain on the battery.


scarily, exactly what i was thinking of after seeing the tab. run a web server on the tab running in hotspot mode and you have document transfer.


Only question with the blending, have they ever tried blending another blender (same model etc)?



OOOhhh blender recursion!!


It's blenders all the way down.


Interestingly though, a casual browse through the Pre's software that Palm have so far put up shows it's using the webkit engine from Safari3.2. With the various iPhone hardware and software combos present, it gets a bit more interesting. The original 3G with the numerous js and render engine improvments keeping pace with the superior on the hardware front Pre. With firmware 2.2 (probably) using the same Safari 3.2 engine as the Pre, it gets a pasting from the hardware improvements.


...and there the page was gone (although I did get to view the comedy page). The possibility of getting $10k (american or austrailian?) to tempt people to use the newest deficient browser from microsoft.
