It checks whether HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\SlySoft\CloneCD exists in the registry. If you temporarily rename this key - maybe write a little script that renames the key prior to and after running Doom - then it will run.
heh, you know what? this is off topic but what the heck, this is worth saying:
I buy slackware just because. once a year if I drop 40 US dollars down to Pat it sure beats 1000 to microsoft. he provides the source for all his work. his distro rawks bawlz in configuration and simplicity (if you are willing to learn about your system).
40 bucks a year times 1000 people, 100,000 people? he's making a killing for using/publishing open source software.
heck, i'd even donate via paypal and save him the cost of materials from whatever publisher he goes through if I had a paypal account, or even him for that matter. Hmm, now that I think about it. Postal money order to his mail addy in california. best way to donate anonymously! Put it in Pat's name!

I might email him and ask him how i can help him with the slackware system as I know it very well, almost inside and out!
Another point I'd like to make. Lets say that transgaming's servers get rooted and their archives infected with some arbitrarily nasty virus. How can I trust that the file I'm getting is not infected? I'll even go one step further... How can I be sure that this has not already happened?
You can't be sure. For now, take the.rpm or.deb and use a utility that takes X and turns it into.tgz i think slackware has this utility.
rock on. my library gets free linux/windoze support from myself when their staff can't handle it. they have no formal IT department. it's pretty cool since i have it in with the head librarian. i tell them how it is, and as long as it doesn't break anything, it's all good.
I've already got the layout done for the smurfs village for a D3 tourney or dm map:) maybe ctf will be thrown in there, but you know? I've always wanted to fire a rocket launcher at papa smurf and his harlot.
the sheep mentality around here is astounding with the famous line "get a hardware firewall" but it's definitely not what you really want if you're to secure your system.
Now for the common man, the belief that you have to have a hardware firewall is perpetuated by companies that make them. They're entirely unneeded, although they are by far the easiest solution for simple protection from the outside world. In fact in the recent light of cisco's magical super duper admin username and password scheme it makes me in general practice, not trust many of these hardware vendors in principle.
Here's my take on it and by all means if someone would love to correct me, please do. For a single PC on a broadband connection, it can be sufficiently taken care of with a software firewall of your choice. Personally I use a GPL based product and have customised it for displaying certian access information. disable all services and ports you don't need, then things should be sufficient. turning your computer off at night when you aren't using it, or disconnecting it from the network physically is what you could do.
for multiple computers, there are two options I like to exersise. simple: Hhardware router (WAP optional), the to each system. Each system configured as the above.
harder: Server acting as a firewall and NAT box and routing to each pc with the first software firewall mentioned above. You could also go for hardware if you really feel like it but it's unneccicary.
I will always advocate the purchase of a system based firewall/NAT box over the use of hardware firewall that uses firmware. Always.
Well, I'd have to rate your comment at least a +1 informative/insightful for that. From what I've seen, their stocks ahve been over valued and over hyped. This can only lead to a few things. Googles demise, or moderate success. Their stock will go down and that's a no brainer because it has nowhere to go, so count this circle of friends out for buying their stock. Following the advice of Warren E. Buffett you'll see that this isn't the way to go.
Now in another area from what I can see, they need to hire some competent men to seriously give the business side of the company an overhaul. Why? Because the trademark issue problem they're running into now! I myself have registered for two trademarks for my company and expecting one to take off while the other not too take off very much at all. In doing this, I can assure no one else will snatch the (TM) from under my feet and have some green to steal from me (legal theft IMHO) and I'm a first time business owner/entrepreneur.
This is just my simple observation and maybe it was an honest oversight in their department. However, in any case they need to hire some people that can help with the business side of things who can and will do business to protect their investments in the future.
i have that as well, i just checked. not sure why it worked for me and not others. perhaps there is something else going on ? anything you guys may have missed?
pdf is good for many things. and with adobe's tagged pdf's that's ok but for small files/zines like phrack and 2600, txt is ok. If you could include in the tagged pdf the code in the actual "example.cpp" and have tiff schematics that would seriously be awesome.
not sure if it'll change, but i'd pay for the 2600 one. and maybe phrack if they substantially changed their format to include binaries, code and images that were embedded into the document.
That's a mistake, really. I bought D3 when it came out and love playing it. While you can't use CD emulation cd software to pretend the cd is in the disk is a moot point, even trying to copy the cd doesn't work. {I've tried this with several programs and in linux using bit-for-bit copies, still never worked- let me know if i was doing something wrong.)
So I found a tutorial on the internet on how to effectively use a HEX editor on doom3.exe to essentially remove the software protection, or copyright (whatever it was called, I cannot remember)
You can learn how to run Doom3 on Windows 98 Systems (which is something you can't do normally) using this tutorial: http://www.flexbeta.net/forums/index.php?act=ST&f= 9&t=4091 or you can search google for that tutorial that allows you to play w/o the cd in the drive. (sorry I couldn't find a link for it, could someone kindly post it for me?)
Anyways, just because _you_ can't run the game without the CD in the drive is your own shortcoming and not the reason for pirating the software. It's just a justification for your act of piracy and don't try to delude yourself or others into believing that this is in any way a correct cource of action.
Besides, this is a minor annoyance to have a cd check of any kind. But havn't ID in the past, provided a patch that removed the cd check as a convienence factor for us? Come on.. just lighten up a little and do some hard work by hexing it yourself, or finding someone who can do it for you.
p.s. I've scanned those doom3.exe no-cd cracked files you can download, and they're almost all serial stealers that use a quick hash and send it off to somewhere on the net. Especially off p2p networks; they're usually worms etc.

It's called EMacs.
The only thing emacs doesn't have is it's own kernel. Though I'm pretty sure it has everything else compiled right on inside of it.

For a minute there, I thought this was an actual readable article about a distro that was once fairly useful L.O.A.F. and its revival.
Guess not.
very awesome.
