Coding Challenge

[ApacheTech]

I posted this thread so that other people could give me subjects to code for, lol.

I just want to code something, but my mind is blank, I need a topic.

Hmmmm.... how about a system that automatically creates every possible combination of characters, than MD5s them and inserts them into a database, but not before checking through the database to see if there is already a different string with the same md5 hash.

Then, as soon as you've found two with the same hashes, send the words, and the hash to me at my email and nobody else! After that you have to mysteriously dissapear off the face of the Earth so you can't claim you found it!

Would you like salt with that?

[keyboard]

No, but if you could sprinkle it with a little bit of black pepper and some thinly sliced truffles and drasel it in some olive oil it would be quite appetising!

Well, I can give you a link to a few Tb (and counting) worth of rainbow tables. Schmoo has a daisy-chain of server farms doing exactly what you've asked.

Where's the fun in trawling through thousands or rtables when you can make your own

But seriously, I think I'm going to have a go at building a editor in vb.net (I'd already started). No, it aint object based and it isn't a webpage but, who cares?

I'm thinking:
Edits: Text files, Pdf (I can read them but can't edit them yet), images, other files (defaults them to text editing).
And one hell of a pretty gui!

As for you, I recently started building a social networking site (Very little of it is actually done (about .1 %). Why don't you go finish that for me?

Are you building it as an MDI Parent/Child Application?

[keyboard]

I don't even know what a MDI Parent/Child Application is!
What is it?

Weather program?

An MDI App is like most windows applications. The program itself is a container (a parent) and the documents within are the children. Think of the difference between Notepad and Microsoft Word. Notepad is a self contained program, only one document can be open per instance. With Word, you can open several documents within the same instance of the program and the documents act as free standing windows within the parent container. When you maximise the child, it fills the parent window, when you minimise the child, it minimises to the parent's "tray" rather than the Windows task bar.
