The race to 1000 will begin shortly

**Magic Man** · 07-15-2009, 10:59 AM

We are going to add a new twist to the NMN/ESI August giveaway contest.

We will be having our normal random number drawings for the yet to be determined regular prizes as usual.

However, here in this part of NY, August is horse racing season at The World Famous Saratoga Flat Track.

So, as a bonus contest for the upcoming month of August, we will be having "The Race To 1000"

Whatever Spyderlover is lucky enough to have their post be number 1000, will win a CHAD windshield!

So, be sure to get your entries in, and "LET'S GO RACING"!

**effgjamis** · 07-15-2009, 11:15 AM

So to be clear..the one that post at # 1000 is the winner, so if you see post 999, you better act quick or are you going to randomly pick out of the first 1000 post. It may take a bit of time but I have a bot around here somewhere to spoil this fun..JK..

Nope, if a person has 1 or 10 or 100 it won't matter. Be the first to 1000 and you'll win.

So, you really only need one post to win, but it's got to be post number 1000.

This should get real interesting once we get into it a ways.

No it has not yet begun, that is why it says "shortly."

The August contest will run from 7/22 to 8/21 and will have it's own post once it is under way.

This post is to "stir the pot" so to speak, by letting everybody know what's coming down the pike.

Oh to be a fly on the wall watching as everybody sits there finger poised to hit the enter key, all waiting for the next guy to post 999 so they can win.

This should be great!

Brigade attack or MITM?

Neither at this point, they are either way too complex and need machines in several countries so Lamont does not catch me. Altough he is using an older version of software and the bugs are pretty well known, would not be hard. Doc, give me your IP address so I can blame it on you.

0.0.0.0
244.244.244.0
Try to ping port 118

**patches** · 07-15-2009, 12:32 PM

lol..how about 127.0.0.1. At least that is valid..can't have 0 in the octecs of an IP silly. 255.255.255.255 is broadcast.

**docdoru** · 07-15-2009, 12:37 PM

Try gotDNS.com

**BajaRon** · 07-15-2009, 12:42 PM

Oh My! I can just see it now.

Hundreds of jittery SpyderLover index fingers (or whatever finger you use) anxiously awaiting the moment when they will simultaneously click on the "Submit Reply" button.

Initiating a huge data pulse which streams at the speed of light (or whatever speed Al Gore has his Internet set to) hitting Lamont's server causing a melt down and hanging the entire system up at post 999.

Sorry, it's just the way I am....I always see the dark side.

**adohring** · 07-15-2009, 12:46 PM

This is a good one NMN... Nice work!

**Bersquack** · 07-15-2009, 12:55 PM
