Re:Just be carefull when you *printf()

On: Various *nix OSes Open To Format String Attacks

This reminds me of code I wrote as a youngster when I assumed it was possible to if( string == "hello" )

I know better now (!strcmp). Makes me wonder how much code we use everyday which might not have been coded by careful programmers? Lots of projects are created to let the author *learn* how to code something new.

Re:Konami's Contra for the NES

On: Easter Eggs in Open Source?

it helped to pass an otherwise impossible game.

A few years ago, my buddy in college and I whipped out the ol' NES. He said he got through Contra on 3 lives. I didn't believe him, and started trying to do it myself. After a few weeks, I had every enemy, every bullet memorized, that I could work my way through every level without dying ONCE. Not bad eh? Too bad I can't put it on a resume.

Anyway, sounds like two of my fav sites under
the same umbrella. whee.

Ok, I give up, what is "NT"?
I don't want to think it's a certain
other OS....
