But even your solution won't help against scripts, because day/hour/username can be easily inserted by a script.

No... day/hours/username decides the random seed for the random sentence.

(which efectively creates a captcha)

Ah, now I see. Now we need someone who actually codes this. ;) Anyone?

Mh, after reading through the wx-documentation for the getday/hours/username()-functions, I could do this as well...If no one else wants to, I'll write a patch for this important issue. :D

You're welcome to do it. Then we can spend our precious time sunbathing in the beaches ... er, I mean coding aMule.

why not let amule callback to Kry and ask for permission to run it?

Blooming heck, I really love today's new flag...  :D

Will be the hell of a job do create something which achieves the same *omfg-what-goddamn-drugs-are-these-guys-taking*-effect while typing the flag...

I'm a little confused why amule actually tells you the flag when you try to start it without it. If the goal is to make the CVS versions as difficult to run as possible for users, this is definitively a bug.

Depending on the desired degree of evilness, amule could either just output "you did not guess the correct flag, idiot" or it could provide users with some obscure hint that is remotely related to the flag.

You people like tempting me, huh?

I want to be evil without reaching the "annoying" state.

The flags I've seen so far are pretty easy to type on any western keyboard. We're living in the utf8 age, the flag should contain at least some Japanese, Chinese and Kyrillic characters...   :]

Belgabor: Why do you want to make life easier for Japanese or Chinese or any people? You should have suggested an invented language, like Quenya and an artificial script like Tengwar.

Kry: you should definiately NOT read this thread.

ASCII-Art Captcha would be nice, BUT you got to draw the captcha from letters and not type letters drawn in a picture. reverse-captcha ;)

Kry, you REALLY should not read this thread...

I'm still working at the random sentence generator and as I'm finally able to compile current tarballs at my machine I don't have to mind about this anymore...
