I laugh at everyone trying 4 digit numbers even lower than 9009....

Id call but its 1.27 the call and I just want to be sure they wont be going to waste.

You do realize that you didn't explain this very well at all. Didn't even really mention that it was a contest, you said "Form a higher number than '2009' moving only 2 lines".

In all seriousness, if you are SURE this is the correct answer, I will PayPal you 500 (Hey Im poor and problably need it more than you do :p)

Just confirm it for me and Ill make the call.

So a 250 donation for you and Neowin?

Those are your terms. Glad to see nongreedy people :)

If you are wrong, would you be willing to PayPal the 1.27? :p

(Im kidding about that :p)

When you are 100% sure, just give me a "Call" reply :)

Call :)

Thank you :)

And thanks to all that have helped out. You can consider, since Ill be donating to Neowin, that each of you get a small portion of this since Ill be donating :)

Chucks...

Gotta wait a half hour it seems :s Then this contest will be back.

No doubt Ill be back in a half hour more or less.

You know these contests are a sham and each time u call it'll take you like 8 or 9 attempts to actually get through. Yet you will still be charged

How can they be a sham? Isnt illegal to advertise something like this?

Damn Quick Reply was right....

The problem it has been reset to 2000....And 2000 is a piece of crap...

Why is the contest a sham? I mean if you get it right, you get the money right?

New one:

Family dinner

5 invites

Prawns: 1500 gr.

Lamb: 2200 gr.

2 Sponge cakes made of chocolate with cherries

60 grapes.

Add up all the numbers.

I get 3767

They're a sham because you rarely ever get through, most of the people you hear on air are fakes. You can keep trying and trying and each time pay that $1.27 or whatever it may be, just to be told that the lines are busy but you were still charged

Let me guess, you saw this on one of those late night quiz show things. The question is obviously totally ambiguous. The real answer is probably something like 3.7... x10^47... how? Easy.. move two sticks to get:

2009qt1hd9.png

ie. 21,109^11

What those game shows basically do is take a few callers on air when there are not many people calling, then when there are loads of callers they don't take any to make you idiots think that it is a great time to call.

    • Ads in Now Playing notifications on Spotify Android mobile app?

      By Steven P. · Posted

      I got this notification just now in Android: So I went in to disable the "Other" or "Marketing" notifications in Notifications management: But it came through the Now Playing? So if I disable that I no longer get what's Now Playing in Notifications? I'm a paying subscriber, not on the free plan... can they sink any lower?

      Population especially in high density areas creates more heat and more humidity. This can be noticed in an indoor arena or concert room which heats up when the room or arena fills with people, without air conditoning to cool it down, Watering of lawns creates more humidity as the moisture from the watering rises into the atmosphere, creating a more humid condition. The again, depopulating an arena or room after an event will drop the temperature inside. Desert areas are less humid for a number of reasons, including a lower population density. Tel Aviv has horrible weather, unless you like it hot and humid. Summer days are regularly 90+ F with humidity well over 70%. It is probably not as bad as Mississippi but still it is bad enough.

    • Why you need to take back control of your synced passwords and how to go about doing that

      By Steven P. · Posted

      I hear you on browser password manager, in my case I have two Google profiles, one was created when Google decided to grandfather us out of Workspace for Domains (with the replacement being too expensive for 25 users) resulting in my domain email address no longer being able to be registered to a new Workspace I created (for myself and another co-owner) so I could use Takeout and sync over some stuff to the new Workspace. Then I have my personal Google profile which I could be logged into on my desktop or Mobile, so I am saving passwords on one or the other, and when an URL changes another password for the same service gets added, it basically ends up being a giant mess. Unless I missed something is there a local decent password manager that can override the browser password managers for Chrome, Edge, Firefox (profiles) so that there is only one vault, and does that also support Passkeys (which to me are still confusing because sometimes it will ask for a Passkey on a phone I am no longer using!) Microsofts implementation of Passkeys is the worst!

      It's utterly baffling that we have no idea when we'll get new features even well after they've been released. Why Microsoft thinks this is a good rollout strategy is beyond me.
