A hash check is nothing but a 'cmp' somewhere, unless the client sends a hash of the executable, that is being modified by the server while the program is running, to the server. Of course, the client could just store two states in that case, one patched and executed, and one that is not.
Simply put, anything that is only checked on the client can be fixed with a 1 byte patch, anything on the server is infallible unless there's a bug or the server is compromised or something.
Um, no, the hackers would just patch the downloaded program in memory or on disk or however it is stored. They could use some magic algorithm to decide what and where to hack. Child's play.
The only real solution to stop hacking is to run _everything_ on the server and only let the client render what he sees. The only thing that can not be stopped using that method is bots.
Imagine that, no moron filter. Maybe Slashdot should have some kind of karma system to help hide morons. They could let users put users on their foe lists and maybe two more features. That would be cool, and then you wouldn't have to complain about morons on my interweb.
You could try porting noXMMS, a console port of XMMS with no links to X. I don't know how tricky that would be though. I'm pretty sure it supports OGG streams though.
AFAIK, Valve is making the usual stuff available for modders, but that does not include source code to the whole engine.
Well, considering that the HL SDK had basically no limitations, and that Valve has said that the new SDK will have even less limitations... I don't think it matters:)
Obviously you've got two bathrooms, one where you but the cat's litter box and another one where you can spend time... I came up with it first, I knew I should have patented it...
Moox isn't the only one providing custom builds (although I use them:) ), MozillaZine has a forum dedicated to custom builds (ThunderBird, SunBird, etc...). And if you can't find what you need there are several guides (and official ones) for configuring and building the source. I suppose the processor-specific optimizations are hidden somewhere too, bugzilla maybe?
Hm, I suppose you could check out this forum too...
Slashdot Mirror
... but we already got CVS builds once in a while from here:

Of course it's not my server, that would be suicide! Or fun... Nevermind, see this URL for more information:

Ahem, and to stay on-topic... maybe they are using SkyOS or whatever it is called.
A 30-page guide on avoiding Slashdotting would be more helpful I think.
:)

Hehe, they used Slashdot in the Firefox screenshots, it's like they are asking for it
I think we'll twist your server the wrong way.
I can't see how they missed this in playtesting or whatever they call it when you test a console...
I wish you could weight reset servers :(

Hehe, don't forget about the potential of porn site goers, they will gladly decipher such images ;)

I wish there was a moron filter on the interlink.
I believe they call it F#.
Same thing happened to me... of course, I continued playing for some hours :). It's only this game though, must be the pawning graphics ^_______^'
Hmm... maybe it's low FPS? Can't that cause it too... although I get a lower FPS in CS:S of course...
But isn't Itanium kinda evil (as opposed to slashdot darlings PPC/Power and Opteron)?
While Linux is super cool? So should I like it?
Nonono, on Slashdot Itanium is the best thing since sliced bread. And if it isn't... I'LL MAKE IT!!

Otherwise Winamp is the obvious choice.

The second best feature of Gentoo is it's forums.
Portage is slow.
;)
Yep... but you can speed it up with the Python optimizer Psyco
zOMG torrent plz1111~~
... they didn't use that, eh?
:/) enables some extra optimizations that would take too long for a just in time compiler.
The docs say that it (can't remember the correct name
Quite a good idea, actually, most of the time you do have the source avaible, and you can probably run it off MSIL bytecode too.
Hmm, I think the APE is called a Librarian, they usually roam the L-space, but sometimes even they get lost.
Yeah, they said that they would release it before the game before (quite a while ago actually), I think they changed it to sometime after the release.

I bet you bought Doom 3 ;)
The military's only function is keeping dangerous people off the streets, if they have more toys to play with they are more likely to stay.

Reminds me of libcaca.
An ascii art library with colors and whatever else, sprites, primitives, etc.
You can use it with MPlayer or your video player of choice, looks much better with colors.
