Alright, im pretty sure that everyone knows about this site by now... http://www.smmguru.comphilliplynx wrote:
edit: I found a site that had all 10 listed. Are we posting the codes here or just the URLs?
Basically, he gives pretty much all of the answers and lets "leechers" pretty much take all answers from there. Of course, it is unfair to the people who has a rank of 12 (me) and decreases all of our chances of winning by so much...
In addition, all of his traffic at the end of all of this, pretty much gives him $1000+ dollers because of all of the AD's, etc. on his site...
The worst part of it all, HE HACKS TO GET ALL OF THE ANSWERS!!!
The following is proof...

SOAP Application?
In this case SOAP is known as a Service Oriented Architecture Protocol. It allows you to exchange XML-based messages over computer networks, normally using HTTP/HTTPS. What does this mean? It means that all of Microsoft’s answers must somehow be easily updated for the user, and interface with the flash website. They use XML to store the answers for the flash app. PHP also has features that will allow you to work with SOAP services. You simply make a post request to the service and operation from Xservices and the request will be returned with the corresponding XML. Then for the extra mile I parse the returned XML with MagicParser to give me a nice little list of the answers. So all it takes is one click for all the answers
ALMOST EVERYONE LOSES EXCEPT FOR SMMGURU WHO GRABS $1000+ DOLLARS IN THE END OF ALL OF THIS!
Now, I and the people back in a certain IRC server that was used for IRIS have created a thread on how this is possible...
