No man. FUCK YOU. These guys poured there heart and soul into creating this game. This is their livlihood someone is screwing with. Even though Gabe didn't say what you thought he did, it would be understandable considering the circumstances. Don't go around suggesting people download the source code unless you understand the ramifications and are willing to accept the resposibility. dickhead.
Microsoft is doing something wrong. Companies are turning to Linux. Most would agree its takes a good sys admin to provide availability and security. Linux will have its day in the sun. Someone will get greedy and the chinese will start writing worms.
In the meanwhile, we can do everything that you can do and everything that you can't as well.
Like writing programs plagued with buffer overflows? Why anyone uses C/C++ to write anything besides system software is beyond me. Especially when safe languages like Java,.NET, and Python exist. Java is fine on the desktop. Its even better on the server. Its definetly here to stay, and gets faster all the time. Quit yer yowling and go here.
This book is pretty weak. I skimmed through it and no where did I see win32dasm dead listings or hands on reversing. It seems like it just tries to explain different windows and unix tools people might use for reversing.
Comments like this certainly should have been left out:
If you don't know assembly language, at the end of this book you will literally know it inside-out
I mean gimme a break. In less than a hundred pages of text, no one is going to learn x86 asm "inside-out."
Chapter 9, which many people would be interested in, is incomplete.
I wouldn't waste my time. Go search for "fravia pages reverse engineering" on google. That material took years to put together.
For an excellent source of reverse engineering material, you really should check out the old Fravia pages. This is the original stuff right here.
Along with reversing tutorials and materials, there is a rich history behind this stuff. A man named +ORC published a tutorial on how to reverse engineer a Windows program called pooldemo.exe. From this text, an era was born. The Fravia website was created and was home to the +HCU. Many people sought after the true identity of +ORC, and he left a strainer (riddle) behind that would take you to a URL where he would be unmasked supposedly. Just look up "ORC riddle" on google for details. Neat stuff!
For example, take one guy who was asking about the possibility of upgrading his integrated graphics. Terry on a whim suggested that since he could not give him a PCI video card at the moment since his Gateway system didn't have an AGP slot.
lol. Since when did PCI video cards fit in AGP slots?
What you do is no harder and deserves no more compensation than any other profession. You do not deserve 1 million dollars a year. You are not special. While I am sure being a rock star is hard work, it has benefits greater than any other job besides being the president. Stop your complaining. Stop your whining. You are not in a position to complain. You are not in a position to be unhappy.
This is being made into a bigger deal than it should be. First off, the guy doesn't have time to sit around and ensure that the company he contracts for development isn't breaking any rules. His stringent policy is aimed at people who know they are pirating software. You can read about this in the article where it talks about giving two warnings before enforcing his ludicrous punishment. Let's not turn this into a farce people.
Also, he seems to comply with the terms of the license in the source code of the page. Moreover, any asshole that spends a few hours writing JavaScript code and enforcing a half-baked license to ruin someone's political career (for publicities' sake probably) should get a swift kick in the ass.

Stop writing buggy, insecure, and anti-competetive software. That would be COOL

Imagine a beowulf cluster of one of these... Hiccup...
What the fuck is so funny about that moderators?
Why anyone would say DCOM is more graspable than J2EE is IUnknown
I got a patch. here it is:
rm -rf gtk-curses
No, Linux is under the GPL. That's the point
HAHAHA. That is so funny. Windows Sux
this is assuming people are good. what happens when someone writes a script to corrupt the rankings?

Don't read this post.
Ok Joe Barr. You're still a moron. You freaking MS zealot. Your just angry because you suck at programming
When you have to deal with the culture of their development team and their nazi attitudes. Don't believe me? Look here
Ahem, that's martini-wodka ;-)
Shut up

It sounds like he busted his ass on a project no one appreciates because it is generally useless.
That was just excellent! LMAO
Yeah, it would take a real psychopath such as yourself to decipher that one AC pussy
lol. Since when did PCI video cards fit in AGP slots?
We'll expect a play-by-play with images when you're done with this cool project ;-)
