Hi, Karim, security people in French is "personnel de sécurité" and the spelling and word order of "personnelle" means that it can only be an adjective in this sentence.
Hopefully soon the ARG will be up and running again so we can find new clues and mysteries ;-)

2008-08-10T12:12:00.000-07:00

I think sherylm's translation is better than the one that appears in the blog post ("sur" meaning "on (top of)" or "over"), though I was confused as to whether the penultimate word was an adjective ("personnelle", i.e. personal security) or a masculine noun ("personnel", i.e. security people). :-)

Interesting. The reference to "grande vitesse" was interesting to me as a resident of Grand Rapids, Michigan. The Calder that is the icon of our fair city is called La Grande Vitesse. No real connection, I'm sure, but kind of cool anyway.

2008-08-06T10:05:00.000-07:00

Watching the disassembling and reassembling DHARMA Initiative logo during the intro and seques again, it almost seems as if two of the modified trigrams "adhere" to each other more than others do. I'm not sure if it is intentional or not on the part of the ARG producers, but two of the trigrams seem to form the word "HU," as in the Arabic-Ismalic phrase, "Allah Hu," meaning, "God, Just He!" But, then again, it is seen from the back and forms the word "UH." It might only be a coincidence or an unintended synchronicity. Any thoughts from anyone else?

I just don't think anyone could not pass.
I think everybody is getting accepted at least at this point of the game.. perhaps theyll be rejecting people in future stages of the ARG.

The same thing's happening to me April. Is it too late to register already?

2008-08-04T04:05:00.000-07:00

If you watch the Dharma Booth Video, he says it is roughly 30 years in the past. And on lostpedia it says that the video was recorded roughly on the July 14th 1978. Wasn't this the D.O.B. that automatically comes up when registering on DharmaWantsYou.com?

Hey, I need some help. I clicked the dharmawantsyou.com link in my email and went to the website, passed the test, then filled out the form. But when it keeps telling me my email has already been registered. So I made a brand new email account and tried to use that and it still says it has already been registered, which is impossible. Can anyone help?

I passed the test. :)

2008-08-01T07:03:00.000-07:00

I passed the test. :)

2008-07-31T12:52:00.000-07:00

The date for the DuaneIsInsane blog post saying Dan is in danger is 1978 as well. Coincidence? I think not. Damn Lost ARGs freak me all the way out. I keep expecting to see taller ghost Walt standing behind me with a knife or something.

Has anyone tried setting their computer's clock/calendar back to July of '78 and going through it?

Just a thought.

Can't seem to get past the loading screen. Also got a lot of errors stating 'too many connections', so it seems to be real busy.

2008-07-30T23:32:00.000-07:00

There is a frame in the video between showing the word "Ingenuity" and the question "What would you sacrifice to stay alive?" when there is a blend between the two. In that blend frame, you see these letters:

Ing at wo ce

* "Ing" comes from "Ingenuity"
* "at" comes from "What"
* "wo" comes from "would"
* "ce" comes from "sacrifice"

Does anyone think this means anything? Could it be an anagram?

* Two in cage
* Ocean twig

Or, without "Ing," which may or may not be intended to be together with the other letters:

* Eat cow
* Ace, two

2008-07-30T19:35:00.000-07:00

Some words flash at the end of the video right before it shows the picture of the child in bed with the wolf. It says, "Who is your constant?"

OK. When I passed the exam the first time, it did not give me a card number, in the registration screen, so I could not log in.
The second time, I was never registered, it never passed loading, but it gave me a card number.
I tried logging in today and I could. Try login, even if you never got a confirmation message.

Anybody else think that there is something funny going on with the logo. I'm trying to figure out what it could read. Hanso, maybe? That "s" would be a little sketchy.

Sherylym's translation makes a lot of sense. The "greater good" philosophy: "debt to society/obligations to society (take) priority over your own safety" is very Benjamin Linus, very Dharma.

Just a slight modification of the French translations: "travelling great distances at high speed" and "debt to society/obligations to society (take) priority over your own safety".

2008-07-29T17:16:00.000-07:00

I haven't taken the test. I guess I better sign up, but it occurs to me the Jupiter questions at Comic Con may have been a tribute to "Watchmen," since the Silk Spectre's Polish surname was anglicized to "Jupiter" in that Alan Moore-Dave Gibbons graphic novel.
