'CD-Key Generator'
« on: December 20, 2005, 10:07:37 pm »
Obviously, none of you are this stupid, but I thought I'd post this anyhow.

http://ccoolty.com/keys.php

It gives you two, randomly generated, useless numbers. Until those two numbers are equal, you're supposed to click a google ad, go back, and refresh. Once their equal, you're supposed to download KEYS.EXE (incidentally, written in VB =p). I downloaded + disassembled it, and it simply downloads this (its plain text) and picks a key out.

I found this extremely unethical, and responded in this manner:

I friend of mine showed me your 'key generator' located at http://ccoolty.com/keys.php, and has reported you to AdSense for abusing the system.

I looked into the program you link to, and it does not generate CD-Keys. In fact, according to disassembly, it downloads them from http://www.ccoolty.com/newget/.

I'm going to give you 48 hours to take down that website, or I'll report you to Google, and perhaps take legal action.

Thank you for your cooperation.

I'd personally do as Joe suggests

You might be right about that, Joe.

I'd bet that you're currently bloated like a water ballon on a hot summer's day.

That analogy doesn't even make sense.  Why would a water balloon be especially bloated on a hot summer's day? For your sake, I hope there wasn't too much logic testing on your LSAT.

No.. the email bounced. I'm a failure, as usual.

I refreshed 3 times then got two numbers the same, and I didn't click the google ads.

There probably just saying that knowing your chances of getting the same first go is unlikely and they'll make alittle side cash from the ad's.

I didn't know that not believing in God explicitly made you a pain in the ass!

ROFL, you don't need to actually click a link.  Just hit refresh! :)
I have a programming folder, and I have nothing of value there

Running with Code has a new home!

Are you kidding? lol, I haven't personally but my cousin has stolen Walmart keys numerous times.  He would just walk in when it was busy, open the box for the game, remove the sticker with the cd key on it and leave.

The electronics dep't at the Walmart a couple miles from is like.. |__| that big, so it's impossible to steal anything from there.  Plus they have security cameras EVERYWHERE.. and not the ones that are on the ceiling, but the ones that are like in shelves and shit too.

I don't not steal because I'm afraid of getting caught, I don't steal because it's wrong. 

Guys, the game is like $10 to buy.  If you want a key, don't steal from the next poor customer who buys the game, just put out the $10 and buy it!
