You can recognize some C++ism in the disassembly... things like nearly identical functions that take a different number of parameters, etc..
Not that the article in question will help you with that, since it has nothing C++ specific in it at all. In fact, it has enough inaccuracies and oversimplifications, that I'm not sure it isn't detrimental to someone trying to learn disassmbly for the first time.
of course you should do both. If you fail to secure the system, then it will be prone to human attackers and worms. Then the viruses wouldn't matter as much.:)
The hackers don't get to define the word, the rest of the English-speaking population does. They've decided that "hacker" usually means electronic intruder.
You don't secure systems against viruses. You have to secure people against them. They're a behavioral problem. A virus doesn't need any kind of flaw to propagate, it just needs a trusting person. You could write a bugless operating system, and as long as a regular user can use it to get useful work done, then the same user can also infect it through neglect, ignorace, or maliciousness.
Hollywood will learn eventually, after they've been subjected to extreme pressure, loss of profits, and humiliating defeat of any copy protection mechanism they can devise. The same goes for any group of companies that have forgotten they exist because their customers allow them to, and not by some natural right.
Good question. I didn't get a reason as to why no bad reviews. I suppose if one wants to be cynical, they could assume because they don't get any click-through purchases on BN.com or thinkgeek. I don't see what it would hurt them any, though... certainly they might get slightly more revenue from bad reviews than from missing reviews.
It's probably something as simple as the bad books just don't get finished, so the reviewer doesn't write a review. The reviewers are all volunteer, I believe.
That's obviously the reason to have both kinds of reviews in the first place, though.. so there's no concern over bias or ulterior motive.
I can't do my nails on an airplane, but they let me take all the cell phones and WiFi equipment on that I want. In fact, they make sure that they work before you can take them on.
Cool, thanks for confirming. Any idea if there's any way to do it without a physical blank, so one doesn't have to waste 30 cents and a few extra minutes?
It will be lossy regardless, as would be any lossy compressed->lossy compressed, regardless of the intervening steps. You can always have more lossy, but I imagine converting to redbook and back will retain just about as much information as can be had.
My comment had more to do with the futility of attempting a protection method at all. Well, that and my amusement that Apple hands you all the tools you need to bypass it, too.
So... you're saying that it will refuse to convert to an MP3 for you. Yet it will burn it on a CD? And I'm guessing that it will let you rip CDs to MP3s? Is there any Mac software that will allow burning and mounting virtual CDs?
(Note: I don't actually have a Mac, I'm just cracking this in my head.)
Exactly the opposite. With most words, you can use 's to indicate possesive or contract with is. You don't use 's to indicate possesive with it, you use its.

That's the only bit of C++ I saw. The original point stands, and the author gave absolutely no info about how to disassemble C++ above and beyond C.

Who said the point of the exercise was to turn the code back into the original C++?

We're also some mean ass curlers
What's an ass curler?
On second thought... question withdrawn.
You are wrong, I was there when the terms hacking and cracking came to be and people seem to have forgotten it.
Wow, you were in the MIT model railroaders club in the 1950s? That must have been cool. What was it like?
Lost battle.

Why did DIVX fail? There is actually a point when even regular consumers will decline to put up with a certain level of crap.
Exactly. I'm not sure why they aren't regulated as public utilities, and why our anti-trust, anti-cartel laws have been so poorly enforced lately.
No, Hollywood is incapable of learning.
But seriously, I joke, I kid...

If I install the open-source ROM, whose copyright am I violating? How is installing Linux violating copyright?
AFAIK, there's only a copyright violation if you take a modchip, and put a copy of Microsoft's XBox BIOS on it.
How about if I print a book with copyrighted information that I violated the DMCA to get? How about if I print DeCSS?

I've exchanged mail with one of the Slashdot guys on the topic of reviews before. He specifically said that they don't like to post the bad reviews.
I can't do my nails on an airplane, but they let me take all the cell phones and WiFi equipment on that I want. In fact, they make sure that they work before you can take them on.
As long as they're not pointy.
Exactly. That, and the long-desired mirroring feature.

I'm already paying them $5/mo to get my msteeeerious future, they might as well take a little more manage a torrent server for me.
Now I guess they just need to hack in authentication to the BitTorrent protocol.
Does that work with burning a virtual disk, too? I.e. will iTunes think it's a blank, and write the track to it?

"Interested in reserving a spot on the wait list to purchase a Limited Edition Mini-PC for $1,999, available late 2003:"?
I don't know if "Limited Edition" means more expensive than usual, but that gives you an idea of the order of magnitude of the price.
Yup, burned right into the BIOS.
Exactly the opposite. With most words, you can use 's to indicate possesive or contract with is. You don't use 's to indicate possesive with it, you use its.
