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".

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 :)

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.

    • Password Safe 3.72.0

      By Copernic · Posted

      Password Safe 3.72.0 by Razvan Serea Password Safe is a password database utility. Like many other such products, commercial and otherwise, it stores your passwords in an encrypted file, allowing you to remember only one password (the "safe combination"), instead of all the username/password combinations that you use. Once stored, your user names and passwords are just a few clicks away. Using Password Safe you can organize your passwords using your own customizable references—for example, by user ID, category, web site, or location. You can choose to store all your passwords in a single encrypted master password list (an encrypted password database), or use multiple databases to further organize your passwords (work and home, for example). And with its intuitive interface you will be up and running in minutes. PasswordSafe was originally designed by the renowned security technologist Bruce Schneier and released as a free utility application. Password Safe 3.72.0 changelog: Fixed bugs Improved font scale handling - should resolve font size issues on high resolution displays. GH1749 In the Master Password Setup window, "Show Master Password" is no longer truncated on some displays. GH1092, SF1595 Size and position of main window is now correctly restored on scaled displays. SF1630 Keep password expiry date when both password and password expiry are changed; don't clear a non-recurring expiry when the password's changed. SF1628 Custom values can now be copied to the clipboard in read-only mode via Ctrl-C and right-click->Copy Value. New features GH1196 Dark display mode support: Password Safe now supports the system display mode, as well as setting the mode directly via Manage->Options->Display->Display Mode. This change also updates the general "look & feel" of the app to the current Windows theme. Known limitations: The Date picker and keyboard shortcut controls do not switch to dark theme The Customize Toolbar dialog does not switch to dark theme Custom Field support has been added to the more advanced features: Filters XML and Text import and export Comparison, Sync and Merge databases SF938 Custom field values may now be selected by name and copied via a "Copy Custom Field Value..." submenu in the entry context popup menu. SF936 Notes and Custom fields layout now overlap, selectable by tabs, resulting in a more compact and less cluttered layout. SF935 Autotype: Specifying '\v{name}' in the autotype text will cause the corresponding value to be autotyped.

    • Google DeepMind AI Control Roadmap: When Alignment Fails, Defense-in-Depth Takes Over

      By +TRS-80 · Posted

      Google DeepMind published a document on June 18, 2026, that may be the most consequential admission yet from a frontier AI lab: alignment training alone cannot guarantee that AI agents will remain under human control, so structural containment must be built before more capable models arrive.............. https://www.techtimes.com/articles/318758/20260620/google-deepmind-ai-control-roadmap-when-alignment-fails-defense-depth-takes-over.htm  
    • Creative Sound Blaster AE-X PCIe review: your headphones will love it

      By Taliseian · Posted

      I've got a SoundBlasterX G6 that I use in my streaming setup. Sounds great to me and I've had zero issues with the ancient software package so far in Win11. That G6 has 7.1, Dolby, fully working SPDIF and since it's a USB device it's outside of my rig so I don't have to worry about EMF distortion. Looks like for now this is a pass for me as I think I have better hardware....
