I did get the Inspect Element thing in Firefox to show me the images when I hovered over the image names once, but I'd already started the timer long before, when I tried without it wouldn't do that.
Restarting the game does randomise, or it did each time I looked.
I wonder if they'll pull the plug on the competition once the leaderboard is full of perfect scores by the end of today.

There is a flag_1/falg_2/flag_3 and so on class value on the inner div...
I hope you got that no iPad in it. It's a page to collect email addresses for future use...(or are they so dump?)

I'm not even sure it's used for anything- the JavaScript perhaps?

I hadn't considered actually winning - I doubt I'll be in the top 10 much longer which is good as I'd feel bad winning.

Someone care to explain why they reported me for posting this?

you kyboshed their chances of winning an IPad or whatever?

Because it seems like a page to collect email addresses. No-one will give any iPad away. The game is so dump, so easily can be cheated that it is not thinkable that someone who investing an iPad will let it happened...

So you felt the need to report me because you didn't like the website it linked to?
I made it clear you didn't have to put in an email address to look at the thing.
The website belongs to a company that has been trading since 1845, employes thousands of people and has a turnover of hundreds of million.
They might employ some slightly crap web devs, but it is a a company that does not need to resort to simple tricks to mine email addresses, and if it doesn't have the prize to give away it will be in quite a lot of trouble under UK laws, running competitions is very tightly regulated.
Anyway, thanks for the report oh lord of the webs.

I didn't report you my friend. It was merely an observation backed-up with the experience about our trigger-happy fellow CPians...

Now I wonder how it deals with Canuckian laws.
You'll never get very far if all you do is follow instructions.

An iPad is a very cheap prize but with a huge fan pool.
OK, it might eventually be expensive for a single individual, but for a company it's peanuts.
If to that you add a dumb game, the word will spread and chances are you'll mine a lot of emails
It's never about the quality of the responses, is about the amount!!
This is way cheaper than any other way to publicize something or just gather contacts.

You probably right...

It's not about getting the email addresses, although lots of online competitions do exist for that sole purpose, but to increase web traffic and ad revenue.
But if someone is going to object to being a facilitator to that then pretty much every single link posted will get reported.

I've been using x-notifier. It works fine for email but the inconvenience is that it displays ads whenever a web page is visited. The ads often covers part of content and makes it hard to read.

Have you tried using AdBlock to get rid of the ads? I've found that works pretty well, not sure whether or not it would work for that though.

If you write your own rules you can block arbitrary crap content in the browser.

None; the idea of mail is that I do not get notified. There's IM for immediate disturbances.

I thought the idea of Email was to send and receive Email... ?

Yes, as the name implies; electronic mail, not an immediate message.
You could ask the same for mail versus telephone - if you don't need an answer right now then don't call. For the recruiters, the answer is ruder: don't ever call again.

but I think the "electronic" part of that does imply "immediate" How or if you choose to be notified is a completely different thing I think.
|

Does your fax-machine "notify" you?
I consider it disruptive. It kills the flow, it breaks concentration. It also opens conversation, which might be a good thing - but it's general counterproductive when you're busy refactoring.

I don't have a fax machine now. I can recall years ago in the "dark ages" having a physical fax machine in the office where I worked, and yes it effectively would notify you due to all the sound it made. When a fax came in you'd hear it. So yes, there was built-in audible notification you could say
Certainly whether or not you want notifications is a personal preference; but there's nothing inherent about Email that would imply a notification or a lack of a notification. Its just a user preference.
Obviously the OP wants the notification else they wouldn't be using the tool in the first place

That sounds a bit shady really.
Anyway, I use .. nothing. I just check my email a couple of times per day.

I actually wrote one: it notifies on the internal intranet whenever a mail comes on the external mail box. It is an exchange agent installed on the external server, written in C#.
On the intranet I use MS-Outlook notification (the little icons in the notification bar)
The signature is in building process.. Please wait...
