But it seems contacting isn't working very well..lol..I get bounce backs when I try to send to any of the addresses.

EDIT

I finally got something back from '[email protected]'

Hmmm. Not quite what I had in mind. Try harder - then listen closely.

~L

...and now I've got the one from Aaron.

hmmm...wonder why I got failures the first time.

You know...I received both the "work/play" email and the "try harder" email, but haven't received any of the extra ones that have been received, such as the Aaron email...strange...

She says she was contacted by recruiters...... That I Know of you do not refer to normal job contacts as recruiters the only people I know of as recruiters are sports people and military people. Clue ? or Does she just just have a intresting way of speaking.

Also I would like to bring up a suggestion. If it wouldn't be to much trouble, I think that a hint to kinda get you on the right path, like the morris code one for the reapir table would be nice before the anserw on the Wiki page would be very helpfull. Alot of the time I am just trying to find a new perspective to look at the puzzle from and not the anserw it is more rewarding to get the anserw yourslef in my opinion. Thank you for all of the hard work on the WIki page as well it has been a great help and I respect all of the hard wokr that has been put in to it.

that one for me took about 20 minutes to get. Also of note is you search aaron's email address you'll get a pdf of a conference he was a part of. It mentions jokingly that he is plugged into technology 22 hrs a day and "glows in the dark". so you'd think he'd have a blackberry, windows ce, something to be realizing he's getting all these emails and would have called someone to turn the auto reply off.

I also mentioned it to him on the Hive. I suspect he didn't know about it. Probably why he's also not answering his phone. Poor guy.

you should get tthree emails one from remote mailer, v-loki and aaron

FYI ... the "v-loki" one is likely a mistake too. V- is appended to the beginning of e-mail aliases for Microsoft vendors. That means that it was simply hitting the e-mail address for the person who set up the loki account at 42, which is a Microsoft vendor.

the email from loki says to try "harder" and aaron's last name is "coldiron" or cold iron.... maybe?

Recruiters could be like a tech recruiter...that's how I got my job I'm in right now....you know, from hiring agencies and contractors.

Interesting, thank you. I was hounestly unaware that there were tech recruiters. You learn something new every day. Guess that kills that line of thought then.

Although, there's one thing I need to take back. Originally, I said to ignore the weird white boxes that were showing up in the game. Apparently, I'm not as smart as I think I am. http://forums.unfiction.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=17829

:o

My first post after the countdown expired and the box was unlocked was a pic of the white squares!! https://www.neowin.net/forum/index.php?show...893&st=1980 :p I pay attention to weird details and that's the strength I am bringing to the Neowin Team!

Okay, now is Loki slipping up or lying to us...her biography page from the pre-game stated:

"One of my professors didn?t buy my vanishing act. He called a friend in a certain large corporation. Now I have the job of giving stuff away to the smartest people on the planet."i>b>

So, was it a recruiter or her professor? And does it really matter.

    • This Samsung T7 external SSD deal lasts less than a day

      By hellowalkman · Posted

      This Samsung T7 external SSD deal lasts less than a day by Sayan Sen Recently we had covered some nice deals of internal NVMe SSDs which include the 4TB TeamGroup G50 for only $400, the WD_BLACK SN7100 2TB for just $243, as well as the Samsung 990 PRO 1TB for $370. If however you require an external SSD for portability and quick data transfers and have a budget of less than $200 the Samsung T7 1TB model is currently on a limited time deal at just $190, it's lowest price in nearly three months. The deal ends today so you better hurry if you need one (purchase link below). The T7 weighs in at just 72 grams meaning it should be fairly easy to carry around helping in the portability department. Via its USB 3.2 Gen 2 interface the T7 promises sequential read speeds of up to 1050 MB/s and writes of 1000 MB/s. It is also fairly robust with a drop protection of up to 2 meters, though bear in mind that this is not waterproof. For that you will have to choose the rugged T7 Shield. The technical specifications of the Samsung T7 1TB are given in the table below: Specification Value Model Code (1TB) MU-PC1T0T / MU-PC1T0H Interface USB 3.2 Gen 2 (10 Gbps) Dimensions (W × H × D) 85 × 57 × 8 mm Weight 72 g Sequential Read Speed Up to 1,050 MB/s Sequential Write Speed Up to 1,000 MB/s Drop Resistance Up to 2 m (6.6 ft) Encryption AES 256-bit hardware encryption Operating Temperature 0°C to 60°C Non-Operating Temperature -40°C to 85°C Humidity 5% to 95% (non-condensing) Shock Resistance 1,500 G, duration 0.5 ms, 3-axis (non-operating) Vibration Resistance 20–2,000 Hz, 20 G (non-operating) Get it at the link below: Samsung T7 Portable SSD, 1TB External Solid State Drive, MU-PC1T0T/AM, Gray: $189.98 (Sold and Shipped by Amazon US) Good to know This Amazon deal is U.S. specific, and not available in other regions unless specified.

      I just wish they would put more love into Virtual Desktops. There is just so much more they could do.
    • Creative Sound Blaster AE-X PCIe review: your headphones will love it

      By Steven P. · Posted

      Sounds like you just skimmed over the review, I answer all those questions in it. Although I admit I did not test if DTS works over the headphones, when I get some time I will test this. My personal use case is more speaker-driven (I cover this in the review too).

      By Steven P. · Posted

      It actually does the same exact thing as yours, 7.1 virtual surround over headphones. From the product page: "Experience sound that surrounds you with 7.1 virtual surround, delivering a wider, more immersive soundstage for movies, games, and music." So both of them are two channel, with 7.1 virtual surround that only work in Headphones mode.
