Free EverNote Plus for handwriting sample

EverNote Handwriting RecognitionWhile Tablet PC software isn't something we typically cover, this particular offer is hard to ignore. EverNote is offering a free license to either EverNote Plus, or ritePen 2.5 (a Tablet handwriting recognition utility) for a sample of your handwriting. And although the offer in and of itself is quite interesting, to me what I found most interesting was the list of sentences that users must submit to meet the qualifications for the free offer. Here's the list:
  1. Sympathizing would fix Quaker objectives.
  2. Pack my box with five dozen liquor jugs!
  3. The July sun caused a fragment of black pine wax to ooze on the velvet quilt.
  4. How quickly daft jumping zebras vex?
  5. Just keep examining every low bid quoted for zinc etchings...
  6. The explorer was frozen in his 'Big Kayak' just after making queer discoveries.
  7. Quick Brown Fox Jumped Over The Lazy Dogs.
  8. Jackdaws Love My Big Sphinx Of Quartz!
  9. Six Big Juicy Steaks Sizzled In A Pan As Five Workmen Left The Quarry.
  10. The Five 'boxing' Wizards Jump Quickly Up.
  11. While Making Deep Excavations, We Found Some Quaint Bronze Jewelry.
  12. Whenever The "Red Fox" Jumped, The Squirrel Gazed Suspiciously.
  13. Quick Zephyrs Blow, Vexing Daft Jim.
  14. ~45% #342a $87 €60 <D&G> 7*(2^3) = 56 {27/9}=3

Web addresses, email addresses and file paths make the list, which is not surprising, as do currency values and formulas. More surprisingly are some of the regular sentences that are apparently difficult to detect, such as "Pack my box with five dozen liquor jugs!".

Forumwarz - a potentially offensive time waster

I pwn UAfter spending the better part of an hour on Forumwarz I still can't decide if it's just sick or if it's kind of fun. It's a bit like a car wreck on the highway. I know I shouldn't be looking but I can't quite turn away.

It's sick, it's twisted, it's the internet on it's worst level and darn it, it's kind of fun. At least for a little while.

Forumwarz is a parody role-playing game that takes place on the internet - or at least the Forumwarz version of it. Your goal is to complete missions that are given to you through a mock up of GoogleTalk called Sentrillion.

Your first "friend" is ShallowEsophagus who begins giving you missions to pwn various forums by being a troll. Depending on the character type you are assigned at start up, you have tools like drooling on the keyboard or bashing your head on the keyboard that you can use to destroy forum threads and eventually, pwn a forum.

Future missions involve buying illegal software from the Russians, pwning more difficult forums and other internet oddness.

Completing missions gives you cash, called Flezz in game, and items that you can pawn or use in other missions. The game is NOT for those easily offended. It's crass, coarse and there are frequent f-bombs in the fake chat sessions.

This is also a game for a more mature audience as it requires you to shop at the Drugs R Fun store to get various concoctions to improve your playing, engage in certain cyber activities to get more Flezz and just generally use a more adult perspective.

If you can get past that, here are the more enjoyable and time-wasting aspects.
