when I was going around with the hucksters a year or so ago,
they withdrew the offer when I tried to get a copy of the
payoff copy. they said the contest, which was $1 MILLION
then was a) closed, and b) restricted to the 200 top
software companies (all of which, of course, had paid their
$1 million annual license fee).
I said, "fine --give me the documentation and the material
you gave to these supposedly top 200 to convince them to pay
you $1 million..." then they resorted to calling me names,
and telling me I did not qualify for free information.
just based on the matrix claims, I figured you had an
initial overhead of some _mega_bytes before you even
started the data stream.
since I am no more politically correct than the (notorious)
tcm, it did not take long to figure there was a staff of two
(maybe) sandniggers who could never make the grade as Arab
citizens and had probably been banished to America where
they set out to rip off the dirty American Yankees. Their
address in Tarzana was a "professional" rent-it-as-you-
need-it" office (a glorified answering service).
basically, they are not worth wasting time. any sample code
you received for cracking would probably be the output of
a white noise generator.
they need a stretch of free 3 hots and a cot at Club Fed
with the rest of the bunko artists.
as for slamming, I, and others, slammed them all over the
place last time --and all they did was whine, complain, and
insult --in broken English.
