Headhunter: Employers Hate World Of Warcraft Players

This is an old post, regurgitated because it yielded some spirited discussion. Apparantly headhunters are being told to avoid World of Warcraft players: http://www.alleyinsider.com/2008/12/headhunter-employers-hate-world-of-warcraft-players It’s an interesting twist, because a little while back i also recall hearing an itconversations interview on in-game leadership skills.. My own views on this are mixed.. i find the amount of time spent on gaming to be staggering (at least with gamers ive spoken to) but ive also heard some pretty hard core hax0rs talking about gaming.. hmm….

A truly sweet hack!

[Solve mazes with Photoshop (or gimp)] i must confess that while i understand the logic of flood-fill doing a depth first search and therefor doing the lifting for u, my gimp skills are second only to my MS-Word skills and i have managed to burn about 40 minutes this morning still unable to replicate it (there goes my report writing!) /mh

funky javascript

found this online last night. try in FF or IE7: javascript:document.body.contentEditable='true'; document.designMode='on'; void 0 then edit the page in-place, screenshot, and make your scam millions… at least, it beats editing HTML?

22:30 to 23:30: the quiet hour

while waiting around for the PSW guys last night, it seemed like a good time to test our mettle on the foosball table. we’ve witnessed rapid development of general foos skills in the office since the introduction of the table a few weeks ago, and the improvement in shot speed has been noticeable. of course, questions always remain as to the difference between actual and perceived velocity of shots, and the only way to answer the questions is by a clean, scientific, test.

Another attempt at you-tube science, aka how to save 36c when changing the batteries on your remote!

ok.. so a long time ago we tried the you-tube mentos stuff and happily wasted time (and coke) in the office parking lot.. (of course this was after half assed attempts to mimic the experiments imperfectly.. given the typical office makeup, this ensured that we tried it with various other softdrinks, various other sweets and at one point even tried microwaving the drink cause roelof thought “the cold was ruining it”.)

On hamsters, Escaping, Escaping of Hamsters and the Lack of escaping in Hamster…

OK.. So as i mentioned before, I saw Robert Graham from Erratasec demo hamster live on stage and wondered if hamster was doing useful input/output sanitization.. If it wasn’t, he was setting himself up for a pop-up that read “owned on stage” or worse a re-direct to tubgirl.. He didnt get owned on stage, which suggested that either the crowd was really well behaved or the tool was doing some tidying up so i decided to wait till i got home to check..
