The great HV hack boondoggle thread

[anlezark]

Since Mr. Olam isn't posting...

B. Rossi

Or is he...?

Sorry to basically repeat myself, but this has really made my day.

Sir,

I would keep your mouth shut about things you assume and yourself have no clue about. Who said it was a four cylinder.

Might it be this Volvo 740 with a twin turbo that does 190mph and will outrun a Yamaha R1 at over 190MPH?

Since Mr. Olam isn't posting and never has regarding this subject why are you dragging his name through the mud.

Would you like it if somebody did that to you?

You showed your true colors...

B. Rossi

Hey filmw... uh, I mean Bob.. uh , I mean Victor, I have to say that this has to be my favorite post EVER. In such a tiff for being busted that you can't even remember which account you've logged in under? LOL Thanks for being such a moron

I just undeleted this post made by Filmwonder, but signed by B. Rossi.

I guess the gig is officially up.

Cindy-Bob-Victor,

Talk about redacting the barn door after the horse has left!

[Bob Rossi]

I literally came close to spitting my drink all over the computer when I read this. "I have a twin turbo on it." BAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!

I think this dude was hoping there would be no one on this board that has a background in modifying cars. "A twin turbo." It's hysterical!! I love it when people think that "twin turbo" is a singular part. I also love it when people claim to have put twin turbos on four cylinder engines. It just goes to show how uneducated they are about internal combustion engines.

Hey Moron,

You really are a pretty clueless person. Instead of dragging somebody's name through the mud that hasn't even posted on the subject or been involved in this thread, why don't you check your facts on twin-turbo Volvo 740's

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XBu6STlhh8Q

This Volvo 740 outruns a Yamaha R1 and tops out at 190mph!

I don't recall anybody in the transcript saying it was a four cylinder? Do you?

Sir, you are the ultimate loser. And you know it. It comes though in your venom!

Filmwonder was just offline long enough to log in as Vic Olam and delete all of the old posts he originally made under his real name.

I'm not asking you to re-post all of them CW, but I'd love to see one returned to life for references sake, and that's the one where Vic Olam uses the salutation "hey group".

[Erik Bien]

And pay no attention to that other Bob Rossi up-thread-yonder ...

Don't worry, Cindy-Bob-Victor, we're not laughing at you ... we're laughing near you.

That was me! I hacked into the Federal Reserve today where all records on everything are kept and got filmwonder's login. While I was in there, I also got JP Morgan's pin number and used that to transfer money from GW Bush's account to mine.

I used a Tom Cruise Circuit City RFID intercept modulation chip reader and patched that into my CWildenradt signature model WAHL clippers to read B Rossi's BlackBerry activity over the air waves, thereby intercepting all his transmissions and gaining access to his account and posting that last message from filmwonder's account to expose any covert agents on this thread. I was also able to download all the Alien ship frequencies that were being sent to the Pentagon. I will try and decode that and post here later.

My plan worked perfectly! (except for that FW incident)

Unfortunately, he isn't deleting them (I can resurrect those) but editing the text. Those I can't undelete. I have suspended all three people involved as it appears this was a nefarious attempt to, at the least, deceive the forum. Sorry to spoil the fun, but members like this we don't need.

Everybody,

I AM COMING CLEAN! I am both filmwonder and Bob Rossi. I did this whole thing to try and motivate people to hack into the camera and get it done.

I apologize and I really apologize to two people I dropped names on Mr. Olam and making my name close to Bob Fosse for added credence.

I know neither Mr. Olam or Mr. Fosse and formally apologize.

But I did entertain you all, right?

Maybe enough to spur the real hackers to make a better effort and get us the camera hack we need.

My real name is mud.

Sincerely,
MUD

[David]

I know neither Mr. Olam

Which is why you log off, he immedaitely logs on, he deletes his posts, logs off and then you immediately log back on?

What an amazing coincidence. Give us a break, Vic.

[Erik Bien]

Aaah, at last it all becomes clear ...

Vic Olam was a humble man, with a simple dream ... to invent a hollowed-out boat anchor shaped like a Betacam and sell it to hordes of eager HV owners clamoring for a little "natural cam enhancement."*

But was Ol' Vic lavished with awed praise and swamped with the eager orders of a grateful HV community? No! His precious brainchild was jeered! The product of his genius, mocked! The toil of his many long nights fueled by Red Bull and welding fumes, ridiculed!

And so, battered but unbowed, Vic retreated to his secret inventor's lair to devise a revenge so fiendishly cunning, so infinitely subtle, so extravagantly nuanced it would, nay, must be HE who would have the last laugh.

"You'll all rue the day you dared laugh at ... Vic Olam!," he cried, shaking his fist at the computer screen.

<---- Hey, look at me! Now I'M Vic Olam!!!!

[_gl]

... but maybe (ironically) our fantasist is actually trying to encourage someone to risk flashing a modified firmware (oh no, I've given him a valid 'out' now )

But I did entertain you all, right?

See, I should've kept my mouth shut.

[David]

Horribly enough, I think you're right. From one bad idea to the next....

Everybody,

I AM COMING CLEAN! I am both filmwonder and Bob Rossi. I did this whole thing to try and motivate people to hack into the camera and get it done.

FYI, during the whole period since this started over a week ago, not one donation has come into the PayPal hack account. Not only did your plan fail, but it might actually have hurt.

[HueyNRolf]

Vic,

It was entertaining, but that was because of all those blunders you made and the way you just carried on regardless.

Bless your heart.

FYI, during the whole period since this started over a week ago, not one donation has come into the PayPal hack account. Not only did your plan fail, but it might actually have hurt.

Right, let's remind all new-comers that we have a donation fund for anyone who comes up with a genuine firmware hack that enables some key features (like manual exposure controls). Similar hacks have already been achieved for Canon still cameras.

We already had some talented people working on it, but things have ground to a halt because they have no camera to test their early modifications on, and daren't risk their own as they may not be able to flash back (until they solve the version-check issue).

We need:

a) someone with a broken camera (as long as it still boots), and/or
b) more donations (so we can buy these guys a camera to test on) and/or
c) talented hackers willing to help the cause.

Full details are in this thread, check it out.

[DSvideo]

OH MAN! This thread is the best, can someone repeat what bob rossi said under filmwonders username? it's all deleted and I'm so amped to get a good laugh at this.

I really wish the would be scammer hadn't made such a glaring mistake (aside from the many others made) that s/he'd leave forever because this could've gone on for a long time whilst amusing many people.

[duey101]

And on a final note... I would like to invite all members to the funeral services for filmwonder being held this weekend at the Federal Reserve building in Washington D.C., and the wake at Area 51. In the passing of our friend, I wrote a brief eulogy transcription from a conversation I recorded of myself typing this stuff.

Me: "filmwonder, we will all miss you and your amazing tales of the impossible and your enthusiasm to get us all the coveted Area 51 firmware. We truly are saddened to see you pass on into the next realm, and ask that you don't try to do this kind of thing in your next life at other forums, especially in the forum where the spirit world folks are looking for the portal back here. At the least, don't sign up there with a name like lifewonder, or Bob,!@#%!&!IhopeNobodySawThatPost"

filmwonder: Not answering cause she's dead.

Me: "I feel sad that many of us didn't believe in you and doubted you were a woman, when in fact you were, and not just any kind of woman, but a Bangkok Lady Boy with fake twin turbo boobs and identity. Your picture will always remind us of the better times we shared and your great smile will warm our hearts forever and bring joy and laughter to our souls."

filmwonder: Still not answering... cause she's dead.

Me: "It is with great sorrow, but also with an uplifting feeling of an awakened spirit that we carry on your quest to achieve the impossible dream, a consumer level camera with semi pro features, that attachess directly into your WAHL clippers and has X Ray vision and can teleport you to any location on the planet and still costs under $700.00."

filmwonder: Still not answering cause she's dead... and starting to stink just slightly.

Me: "You have given us great courage in our quest to implement the ideas of Tom and Wile E. Coyote and we shall never give up until we achieve our goal."

filmwonder: Still not answering cause she's dead... and starting to decay a bit.

Me: "We are most saddened that you decided not to take only your own life, but the innocent lives of Bob and Vic, for this we can never forgive you. If only CycleWriter were a complete idiot like you, then your bungled post may have never been revealed, but alas... the truth always comes to the surface, just ask GW Bush. In closing may I say, it was truly a gift to be a part of this thread, even though it ended with your tragic and untimely death. Or did it..."

filmwonder: Trying to rise from the grave but we all know it's too late... or is it? (dramatic music plays Dah dah dah daaaaaahhhhhhhh....)

[duey101]

I think it went something like this...
