WTF. So are you saying that all a virus writer has to do is make their first instruction 'VirtualProtect' and it will keep working like it did before? I mean what is the point of having a NX flag if you can circumvent it.
Most authors are either good at writing people, or good at writing worlds. It's rare to find a combination of the two. I would not say that Tolkien couldn't write people, based on the evidence available though -- he was deliberately writing in a mythical style. Personally I find Orson Scott Card's novels to be a good synergy of interesting and complex characters, with a fantasy world; it would take some oscar-winning screenwriting to make it work at the movies though.
This really begs the question. Why would you want to download it???
Personally I don't think it's worth the risk of arrest etc. just so you can tell your other spotty friends that you got the windows source code, neener neener.
Well, yeah. Someone I know got convicted recently for buying some CDs off a foreign website that she thought were just anime, but were actually (cartoon) porn
218 ? Doubt it. (The link you gave doesn't work, so I can't see if they explain their sources). I count 14 * 64 possible rook moves, for example (Ra1-a2, Ra1-a3, Ra1-a4, etc.)
Changed it for the worse, yeah. The result of this has been a lot of people playing "boring shit" openings -- ones where you don't have to memorise lines, like c4, e3, g3, Bg2 etc. slow systems. I hate it
GCC is one of the flagship products of the free software movement, but it seems to be clunkier and bloatier and less conforming than just about every commercial C++ compiler. How does the mantra 'open source is better' stand up to this?
A lot of time wasting comes from that too. Even if you can think of a better implementation, if it isn't better by it's not worth the development time + debugging time to do it that way.
Re. the original post, I think a lot of the problem is caused by bad code commenting. When you make a "little tweak", or fix some minor bug, or fix a subtle logic bug, you should clearly comment in the code what you have done, so that it can serve as a warning when somebody else looks at the code and does not realise the subtlety involved.

Microsoft Basic has blue as the background colour, doesn't it? :)

Same reason that all the different petrol companies sell gas for the same inflated price
Typical Slashdot comment.
The rest of us, who actually want a wife and kids..
How is "Fedora" said? It looks like a Russian name to me (hence 'Fyedora' or similar).
USA landed in 1969 , this landed in 1970
... how do we know this wasn't a hoax? (seriously)
It is the first I've heard of it and I used to be a moon buff
Easily fixed - make the "real" port a non-standard port too (or even better, make it determined by the knock sequence)

If they can forget about a lens cap [Viking], they can forget about dust
and Microsoft makes it controllable via unencrypted tcp/ip. I'm only half-joking too
I always thought that was "Jose can you see?"
I think you need to enable your sarcasm radar
Of course. Haven't you ever heard of blue screens?
Where is SPEWS hosted?
Pity it's not in NZ, otherwise it could get its ass sued for harming NAC.net's business
And how is a 17 year old student supposed to afford a lawyer?
More likely the Slashdot editors would repeat the mistake 5 minutes later
Make money? I'm sure the university pays this site for its services, not the other way around.
Why didn't the uni just accept the papers and then submit them to some cheat-detection system behind the scenes?
Can we ask: why?

So when is quark-gluon soup going to appear on the menu at the Ritz?
