I've done the essay trick a couple times LOL

I use the elevator one quite frequently as well as timing playlists or a song to end when I need to leave.

You lost me with that combination lock thing :tard:

 

[AutoBat]

print it off, and just go step by step

I have several forgotten combo locks... I will save that.

On #3 of the domestic hacks, I understand it but can't think of how that would ever be useful.

If a door was chained, how would I put the rubber band on from the outside?  If I put it on from the inside, I obviously left through another unchained door.  I'd come in that way too.  If I could slip the rubberband on by sticking my hand through the chained door, by turning the knob I obviously have the key, and or I know the person inside who chained it, so they'd me in...or I'd come in the other unchained door. 

Again, unsure how this is useful.



One more type thing like this I've heard works but suspect it doesn't; a keyless entry fob from a remote location can work with the use of 2 cell phones.  One at the car, one with the fob.  I haven't tried it, but it shouldn't work because a cell phone turns sound waves into radio waves then back again.  It doesn't transmit or pickup radio waves with it's microphone and speaker.  It might work with the new iPhone with the video thingy.

As far as that corrupt file to buy you time thing goes, I thought that when you have to email your professor a paper, it's due when it's due and if there is something wrong with your file, they don't give a rat's ass, you fail. :icon_scratch:

True.  If that happened, they'd say, "Where's the disk?"  If that was corrupt too, "You have 2 weeks and the highest possible grade is 70%.  BTW, you can only have 2 appointments with the Prof per semester, you just used one of them."

is it sad that for the past 2 days i've literally been sitting around trying to figure out when you would ever use that rubber band door handle thing?! i can't see the usefulness in it. if there's a door with a chain it's most likely an apartment-style door with a knob, not a classroom-style door with a lever handle. i've never seen a lever handle door with a chain... and how are you attaching the rubber band? they don't exactly have snaps on them to make them easy to fasten or loop through the links in the chain...

maybe this curse of over thinking is why i've been so happy with all my warmoths so far :icon_biggrin: details details!

Read above, I had simiar thoughts.

 

[JaySwear]

ah-ha. so i'm not the only one. that makes me feel a little bit better about the fact that i've been thinking about this for 2 days, but a little more worried about returning to a chained room when i left it unchained...

I believe the idea for the chain lock is that if it's already locked and you're standing on the outside, reach in the gap, attach the rubber band to the chain & doorhandle, and when you close the door it will undo the chain.

is this an effort to break into a house where the owner is inside? i mean if the owner was out how did they leave with the chain done and how will they come back in? i always thought those things were silly, they never made sense to me in real life. and the "hack" makes even less sense than the chain itself.

i'd like to send this to mythbusters and check into some of these claims, i mean using your scull as a parabolic dish sounds fishy.

I've done this on several occassions just to see if it worked.  Some of the time yes, some of the time no.  But you look like an idiot doing it.

Didn't think it would.

The MythBusters did test the see in the dark thing.

And?

The rubber band thing is for breaking into places, yes.
