 		When they say they want us to bring Altumcorp down, what do they mean? Do they want a DOS attack on their website? XD

 		Has anyone got any decent audio analysis software?

On an unrelated note, I believe someone was attempting to set up a corporate account - any luck?

That would be me. I attempted to set up a corporate account on January 21 with the following email:

Quote:
Dear Sirs:

I represent the Hotmail Corporation (Hotmail), the United States subsidiary of Pirittokuru Yuubin Daikigyou Inta-Nashonaru (PYDI).

As you are no doubt aware, PYDI's worldwide operations have recently been acquired by Mashimisho, with a full merger expected to be finalized upon the conclusion of due diligence within the next 3-6 months. Mashimisho's board of directors has expressed concern regarding certain inefficiencies in PYDI's present international distribution network. Accordingly, I have been assigned to resolve these issues and to manage the amalgamation of Hotmail's US distribution network with that of Mashimisho.

Given your company's track record in successfully managing Mashimisho's extensive shipping requirements in a confidential, efficient and cost-effective manner, it has been determined that AltumCorp will provide all transportation services for Mashimisho and its new subsidiary. However, until the merger is completed, Hotmail will require a separate corporate account. We expect that both accounts will be unified under Mashimisho upon the completion of the merger in or around May 2010.

As time is of the essence, please forward to my attention and at your earliest convenience any paperwork needed to establish Hotmail's corporate account. My audit of Hotmail's affairs will require me to travel extensively over the next few months, so please forward these documents to me electronically. I will retrieve them from my laptop and return them to you at my first opportunity.

If you have any questions or concerns about the contents of this email, please do not hesitate to contact me at the email address noted above.

I haven't heard zip from them yet. I'm going to sent a follow up today.

Cheers

 		Right I think I am now caught up on this case. Just found the original blog yesterday, I will run the new audio file through audacity and see what I can find.

Does anyone have a complete package of all the image files from drop.io as I am missing some this I could no longer access

 		I have attached the audio from the blog as an mp3 for people. I have done some rudimentary analysis with audacity but I am no expert so hopefully someone else can have a look. After noise removal I think I can here some beeping at around 1.20

 		I also did some noise removal, but couldn't hear much than some grasshoppers and traffic noise.

 		Pretty much sounded like what I heard, but I thought the grasshoppers might have been a muffled car alarm.

 		THX and welcome ungrim97. Much reworking and could only barely isolate at 56secs. one voice among many saying:

(End of my MP3 is just reloop). Sounds like maybe the trash "pickers" are looking for specific items imo.

 		In response to my request for a corporate account, I finally received an email response from Altumcorp.

Ouch. I do believe that I have just received the digital equivalent of a b***h slap. Perhaps I came on too strong?

Like Olorin, I also received the following from Altumcorp:

 		It appears like a valid PHP error so it might be that the PM's are having technical difficulties.
