So who's got any?

Help, is this a scam?

so I just got out from shopping complex at PKNS Bangi. I got to my car, then this guy came to me. He is a chinese wearing neat attire, in shirts and long pants. He gave me this pamphlet saying it is a discount voucher that can be redeem in any shopping outlet.

It is sealed, and you have to open it to see how much discount you can get. Discount can be 50%, 70% based on the color inside the pamphlet. It can also just be a 'Thank You' text as he showed me one that was opened earlier by someone else.

The pamphlet is yellow color with picture of 2 old couple with the text 'Mother's and Father's day' .. or something similar. The guy claimed this is a promo stunt by Genki to promote its product, and it is giving away discounts during Mother's day.

So I just opened it and there was a sticker inside. I opened the sticker and it showed Silver colour. The guy act surprise like its the first time ever happened to him. Then he exclaimed this is a very special colour. I will be eligible to win special gift which can amount to RM4000 or I can even win a car!

Then he said I would need to do some acting for commercial where I won the product and say 'Genki Bagus', or something. I would need to stick some stickers to my car. And he goes on and on how he will need to inform his supervisor to come over and explain things to me.

I just got bored and think the whole thing seemed like a gimmick to scam. The pamphlet doesn't have any detail about shopping discount or any mention of what prize you can win. Smell too much like a scam, and I just say no and left.

So guys, do you think this is a scam? Anyone ever experience anything like this?

Nintendo DS emulator released!

internet — Tue, 15 Aug 2006 09:59:27 +0800

I haven't tried it yet, but this is cool~!!

Hello to first no$gba version with NDS support. Parts are working fine, parts are under construction. The most important (missing) things to be aware of are:

Major Missing Features Sound, and WLAN emulation are still missing. Sound should be relative easy to implement. WLAN should be quite simple, too. I'd still need a second NDS console for testing communications. (...)

Things that work only with real NDS-BIOS-image The "decompression-with-callback" BIOS functions are currently working only if you do have a copy of the real BIOSes as ROM-images (see Installation and DS Xboo chapters). Encrypted ROM-images (with encrypted first 2Kbytes of the secure area) can be used only if the (full) NDS7 BIOS ROM-image is present (which contains the 1048h-byte decryption seed data)

Are ur employer spying on you?

internet — Tue, 11 Jul 2006 00:18:01 +0800

Ok, this is actually a real situation in the company I work for. How legal is it for employer to be spying on personal conversation among staffs? By conversation, I mean through digital communication, either by email or messenger.

Although this does not involve myself, I wonder about the legality of such act by employer. Anyone has any thought on this?

Sorry if this is in the wrong forum.. feel free to move to correct one.
