[Coding challenge]

Nice use of the translate method, although not a very full featured program! :P

lol very true, i had a full program for it but i was lazy when posting.....

[Coding challenge]

before we do i will post my version of my challenge .

input=gets.chomp.downcase
puts input.tr('a-z', 'b-za')

this is a small little code in ruby , .tr is short for translate which is a useful method that i have only seen in ruby and Perl .

[Coding challenge]

huh, i will have to check this language out , sounds interesting. and once this holiday week is over i think i will show off my implementation of the Caesar cipher XD

[Empathy Information]

nice that's a useful hack for empathy , no more one char yay!!!! :D

[Coding challenge]

import Char
ceasershift :: [Char] -> Int -> [Char]
ceasershift [] offset = []
ceasershift (ch : chs) offset
        | not (isAlpha ch) = ceasershift chs offset
        | isUpper ch = [chr (ord 'A' + (mod (ord ch - ord 'A' + offset) 26))] ++ ceasershift chs offset
        | isLower ch = [chr (ord 'a' + (mod (ord ch - ord 'a' + offset) 26))] ++ ceasershift chs offset

I was trying to get it into a single line using a list comprehension but can't think of handling upper and lower cases in it nicely.

that's a really interesting way of writing this code, never seen it like that .

oh and the way i would describe the difference between css and a language like c++ is this:

css is like art design , you get an idea of what you want something to look like then you "draw" it , your brush jsut happens to be a set of orders in a script

C++ on the other hand is like an engineering problem , you want a machine to have a certain function (example: want it to do more than look pretty) you have to build all the parts , put them together right, and then make sure it works with out to many errors .

[PSP HACKS!]

anybody know if there is an aircrack program that can run on the psp , similar to the one that is run on the ds ?

mostly just want it to be able to de-auth the connections in the area

my reasoning for this is so that i can pull off the fun little thing the hak5 guys did with jaseger and a ds in episode 4X07 with out me having to go out and buy a ds and mod chip.

also for those who are completely new to hacking a psp , i thought this tutorial was helpful for me when i started so it may be useful to others.

[Coding challenge]

i have a challenge if any one is up to it.(i know its suppose to be giving by the winner of the last challenge but just thought I'd give this challenge anyway )

lang: any

challenge: create a program that runs a basic Caesar cipher ( takes the letters of the alphabet and moves then over a set number of positions example: a ->b , b->c ....etc...)

to win: who ever can write the most efficient and short code *hint* if you know the right method this shouldn't take more than a few lines of code .

time : 1 .5 weeks

[sinplest language you know]

ruby is probably the easiest "modern" programming language , at least for me personally , I'd follow that up with either c++ or Perl they are complex enough to get detailed work done, but simple enough that you can browse source code( at least well written source code) and be able to say " okay i see what they did here."
