Most of the things you write are indeed correct, however.. This is caused by the use of weak mathematics such as IDEA and CBC, which have been almost fully compromised.
Oh? IDEA fully compromised? You might want to post that to sci.crypt and see what happens..:) [it's not]
Oh please.. it's not exactly Joe Doe who's writing software. Starting from 0 is _intuitive_ for me as a software developer. The offset 0 into something is, exactly, the first value.
Sorry to say, then you didn't know which tools to use for the job. There's nothing about splitting files etc that takes more time in Java than in C++. Yes, I know what I'm talking about - I do get paid for it;)
The removal process is elegant with all COM servers politely being asked to de-register themselves from the system registry using their inbuilt deinstallation routines before being eliminated from the hard disk. IEradicator then pulls out the cleaning gear and gives the registry a good polish before returning control back to you. The MS HTML Engine (shdocvw.dll and mshtml.dll) is left on the machine to provide needed functionality for other applications that render HMTL (e.g. Outlook Express) or that launch a mini-browsing window (e.g. Winamp's Mini Browser, Netmeeting's Online Directory).
Since the HTML-Engine is still there - why would it break your app?
IEradicator is tiny, script that uses the Windows setup engine to surgically remove Internet Explorer versions 3 through 6.0 from Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows 98 Second Edition, Windows Millennium and Windows 2000(sr1).
Kind of interesting it works with Win2K sr1 but not sr2.. ?
... actually atleast in Sweden it's _legal_ for us to burn copies of our CDs and give to friends. We even had a "parliament member" who did this and admitted it in our biggest newspaper. An investigation was made but she wasn't charged with anything.
As a young boy I cracked games on the Atari ST.. making a long (and fun) history short, a member of our group was p*ssed because a software house nearby him didn't want his protection-system since he was a cracker, insteady they bragged about the "unbreakable" new system they had and what game they would put it on.
... you already know the ending. I cracked it completely in 6 hours and he went back to them with a cracked copy later.
The only protections I know of that indeed have given "breathing space" involved hardware dongles. No one used pirated copies of Cubase on the Atari ST because they didn't work as they should.. but as soon as versions without dongles appeared on other platforms they were cracked completely in an instant.
I've used them IRL for Real Work going into the Symbian OS and YES they're invaluable and YES you do find a lot of bugs that would otherwise have gone into the final product and YES closed source is more often inspected (formal meaning here now!) than open source is.
Now don't get me wrong - I'm all for open source and it would be great if the community could focus more on methods and not just code&features.. but we're not there yet:)
Can anybody shed some light on this?

From the WSJN article (emphasis in bold mine): Gary McGraw, Cigital's chief technology officer, said Microsoft apparently adopted a technique for improving its compiler that has been used with the Linux operating system and shown to be vulnerable to attack. As a result, he said, Visual C++.NET isn't actually more safe than earlier versions; in fact, it could lead programmers to write more programs that are vulnerable to buffer-overflow attacks.

Oh well, here's one link: you want one

Widespread use of that acronym started with the Sky 09 cards, Markus Kuhn used it a lot.

I thought being a professional Software Engineer developing in both Java and C++ would somehow make my comment worth reading, but I guess not

Those who think Java is slow do not understand software engineering.
(hint: real-world user-applications seldom do number-crunching in tight loops for hours)
That's what the result was .. of the investigation ..

It was custom hardware, it did perform calculations necessary for the program to run, you couldn't extract the workings from the hardware etc etc
I was there

3G (next gen telecom) are using IPv6
They do exist. (both rumours and believers)

(CD players with digital output "sound" the same, if they have D/A's they certainly do not
I guess moderators with APEX players feel the truth hurting a bit .. *g*
(I also buy quality speakers, cables, amplifiers, TV-sets etc
Yup .. cost me $150 to unlock it, and even then it can't play RCE titles ..
Not to mention crap picture- and sound-quality. I have friends with these kind of players, and they look terrible compared to a 1st gen Sony 715 ...
Uh no. I run Win2K both at home and at work and this happens all the time. It has to be application-dependant.
