Neowin's Forum Game #1!

Found this Game by chance on another forum.

Here's how it works:

We start with a number - 500 that is.

Current round's rules [Round 23] (for older rules have a look at the bottom of this post):

Team A adds five (+5)

Team B subtracts ten (-10)

*********************************************************************************************************************************

Combo KICK (CK). If your Team has made four (4) posts* in a row, you get a combo kick, meaning the fourth (4th) post is worth TWO (2) posts.

*ROUND 23 ONLY: THIS ROUND HAS A CK COUNTER OF FIVE (5)!

*********************************************************************************************************************************

*********************************************************************************************************************************

You may post your number as picture. Don't exceed the shared limit of 2 pictures per page! (on default posts per page=15 posts)

We want the thread to stay fast loading, hence the limit, also please try to find middle to small sized versions of your pictures. No definite max resolution.

*********************************************************************************************************************************

Team A:

  • Every member whose member name starts with A C E G I K M O Q S U V or W
  • or if it starts with a number
  • WIN: If number reaches 1000.

Team B:

  • Every member whose member name starts with B D F H J L N P R T X Y or Z
  • or if it starts with a symbol
  • WIN: If number reaches .

OBVIOUSLY: Do not post consecutively

your id starts with a symbol . it should be 500

now 498

No it does not. His id is Mephistopheles - as you can see from the name in the quote in your reply. The + is just assigned to subscribers.

So yours was actually 500, not 498 (since you deducted on his behalf incorrectly). If the + was to be considered as part of the id, then your value would have been 496.

502.

    • 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....
