Nat Gertler has cracked the Amazon.com image code. In his article, he breaks down the makeup of the image source path from adding discount tags to rotating the image to placing text on top of the image. An interesting exercise and an amazing amount of work.

Try getting out of the Crimson Room, the Viridian Room, and the Blue Chamber. “There are less than 4000 people in the world who can escape this house. So have a try.” There are 13 items in the room. You will need to find all of them to escape.

I found this item, and found it useful, thought I'd pass it on:

Ever had such an annoying message given by Windows?





It has many other flavors:

Cannot delete file: Access is denied.
There has been a sharing violation.
The source or destination file may be in use.
The file is in use by another program or user.
Make sure the disk is not full or write-protected and that the file is not currently in use.

Unlocker is the solution!
