Every single time you post your useless spam here, it gets LOGGED, with lots of information, including the original message (we don't hard delete them). As you have noticed bunch of your proxies are no longer working for you, that is because we are banning all of them and soon will block ALL open proxies. As far as real IPs go, and your garbage websites domains (and their IP address), I'm compiling a list of all that crap and will provide it to some friends of mine that can create a nice DOS attack.

I hope you all choke and die or get hit by a bus! Thank you very much!

P.S: If you have not noticed yet, you are not getting a single lead from this site anymore, because your POS posts get deleted just as fast as your username gets blocked along with its IP address! Haha!

How are they going around captcha?

Some common methods are:

1. Computer recognition - most captchas aren't that hard to decipher
2. An army of people (often in China) whose job it is to fill in captchas.

Note that they tend to head for forum sections with "general" in the name.

Here's a tip from the VB folks on making the captcha more secure.

Likewise!
My presence here was very vague for quite some time now, I've been floating around the mythtv area.. I wonder if I add this as one of the categories here would anyone be interested? My recent projects was making mythtv frontend run on Apple TV and I got it was sucessful. I'm now working on a useful remote control for Apple TV the idea is to utilize a JP1 capable remote with either the built-in IR (can't figure out where to start) or with a USB IR dongle (in the mail).

I'm hoping to possible get back into TiVo with Series 3 stuff but I feel like such a noob as so much has changed since dtivo days.

My recent projects was making mythtv frontend run on Apple TV ...Your philosophy was always "big tent, all are welcome" and a renewal of that, with expansion into new related areas, would be exciting.

You should private talk with bcc, Omikron and S3Hackers, a few of your most interesting current guests here.

I'd totally be interested in a MythTV area. I just built a dual tuner (Silicon Dust HDHR) system for a friend of mine. I was so impressed I'm thinking of building myself one and ditching DirecTV. I'm running it on Debian Linux.

As for your IR issues take a look at LIRC.
