$1500.00*, Just For You!

That’s right. I will pay you eight hundred one thousand Fifteen Hundred ($1500.00) Canadian dollars if you can help me solve something.

Back in 2006 I encrypted a RAR file and have long since forgotten the password.  I presume it’s no fewer than seven characters in length, but probably no more than sixteen.  It uses letters (of various caps), numbers, and some punctuation, but I can’t exactly say which punctuation as again, I can’t remember.

I have taken on the task of trying to crack this password by means of a brute-force attack. However, if you know anything about encryption you’ll quickly come to terms that this password won’t be discovered any time soon. At which point it may not matter what is in that RAR container, I guess.

However, if you’d like to help me take a shot at it, drop me a line (my email address can be found HERE). *If you can help me and reveal the contents of that RAR file I’ll send a cool Fifteen Hundred Dollars your way in whatever payment format you choose.  All costs of sending the money will be covered by me.

Suggestions are welcome.

Autobahn for MOST

I guess it’s not the Autobahn you’re going to be taking if you don’t buy the vehicle Volkswagen is trying to sell you.

Plants VS Zombies VS One Big Nut

After eating enough nuts to let me plant all of those daisies, where the hell does he have room to eat the brains???

Who Can See The Irony Here?

How ironic is it that a company which tells you that the rebate you are entitled to will not be sent to a P.O. Box has a P.O. Box themselves to which you must send the application for the rebate?

Do as I say, not as I do.

Repeat This: Repeat This:

Often times I come across sites that ask you to fill in information. Almost always one of the fields asks for an email address. And more than almost always it asks for it again, as a confirmation.

Rest assured that more often than almost always I just “copy” and “paste” whatever I typed in the field above.

I get the fact that they may be trying to make sure that I’m not making an error, but as far as I’m concerned: I don’t give a shit. I’m just giving you an email address. It may not even be MY email address, or THE email address.

Save yourself the web space and me the time. If I’m really, Really, REALLY interested in whatever I’m engaging in to be giving you my email address, rest assured that I will make sure that it’s the correct email address that I am giving you to reach me, first time around.

Everyone else: CTRL+C, CTRL+V

Wow, What a Steal!

What else can I say about this…

So the Earth was… Bright?

For Earth Hour people were encouraged to turn off all lights between 20:30 and 21:30 EST.

I saw the ads and the billboards flashed in my face every time I went downtown. When the time came, I forgot all about it.

What’s worse: The Toronto Star wasn’t sure which way things went. It could have been a success… or maybe not. I guess it depends on who you ask, when, and… well, what they think.

Bright Earth, Dark Earth... It's in the eye of the the writer.

Jesus, Is That You?

Alright, enough with this nonsense about seeing Jesus in a piece of toast, or the Holy Mary in a pan of scrambled eggs.

I saw the “Scary Movie” guy in my soup.  I initially was going to put the soup up for sale on eBay, but I got hungry in the meantime and ate the potential profits.

As for Jesus, I think I saw him once, but I had to flush quickly as the restaurant was busy and someone was banging on the restroom door to …  or maybe he did want to see Jesus…

We’ll never know.  I’ll never care.

Move on, people.  Get a life, find a hobby.  Find a form of interest to keep your mind occupied instead of looking for potentially fictitious figures in your food.  If Jesus wanted you to find him he’d be ringing your door bell asking about the quickest way to fame.

So, what WOULD Jesus do?  I guess we’ll never know.  Bon Appetit.

Free Pool. Think Quick!

I think Tony may be onto something.

How about free beer… yesterday.  You missed it?  Oh, so sorry.

There’s always pool… tomorrow.

Judge Judy, Are You Real?

Many times I have watched Judge Judy and wondered if the cases were real.  The TV always reassured me that they were real people with real cases and the decisions were final.

Fine.

On a few occasions I have tried looking up certain cases on the Internet to see if I could find any evidence of them.  Out of the times I tried I have been successful only once.  The others … well, it’s like they never existed.  Or perhaps have been quickly taken down by the show creators, litigants, or Google.

Then, recently I was watching an older case which I taped on October 26^th, 2009, Paula Rana v. Roger Kaday.  I noticed that on one of the plaintiff’s documents what appeared to be her last name was censored while Judge Judy was looking at it.  It was a hospital record from the emergency room.

My question is this: if Rana is really Paula’s last name, why censor it on an official document? Do they censor people’s real last names to protect them from others who may be watching the show.  Could there be another reason?  Why does the document in question appear to have more letters than the last name “Rana”? What else are they not telling us?

*EDIT* I just wanted to add this this must be a very recent case as there is other documentation shown during the trial on which the date of August 27, 2009 appears (the bill pictures is presumed to be from August 25th, 2009). Just two months before airing! I have no idea how long the turn around time is from filming to post production to airing, but even if it’s a month, the case is less than two months old… and yet, I still can find nothing more on it elsewhere.

*EDIT II* I don’t know where to go with this. I mean, I never believed the show to be a complete fake, but after changing a few search strings on Google I am lost in the search… Judge Judy appears to be fake, according to one individual (who apparently appeared on the show) as portrayed by what is seen HERE. He apparently even has a web site referencing this situation HERE.

There are more like it, but it looks like I opened up a can of worms….
