  1. atari mail on A History of Atari — the Golden Years · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Here's 10 Years of Atari/Atari Games VaxMail, this is history!!!!

    http://www.textfiles.com/games/ATARIMAIL/

    Description from the site:
    Jed Margolis got his hands on something precious: a decade of internal mail from the now-defunct Atari Games corporation, makers of some of the more beloved arcade games in history and one of the more amazing stories in computer history. Buried among these large collections of e-mails from the Atari Corp. VAX are discussions of programming, trivia, jokes, and some real insights into the day-to-day concerns of this company.

    Citation is myself witnessing it, last time about 6 months ago. Google must have probably fixed it.

    I've received e-mails sent to vincenzo.myaccount@gmail.com, ornella.myaccount@gmail.com and many others. I DONT own those accounts, how could you explain that?

    I've got them right there on my inbox. And I personally know four people that saw the same thing. I've reported it to google two times in its time and so far I've received no reply.

    And it will go to the owner of last@gmail.com too. There's a lot of accounts with simple names like richards@gmail.com or gonzales@gmail.com which get ALL e-mail sent to owners of a dotted mail, for example: juan.gonzales@gmail.com, john.richards@gmail.com.

    People said this same thing when the Windows 2000 source code leaked. Nothing happened.
    Well, I wouldn't say that nothing happened:

    http://www.securitytracker.com/alerts/2004/Feb/1009067.html
    It is reported that a remote user can create a specially crafted bitmap file that, when loaded by IE, will trigger an integer overflow and execute arbitrary code.
    The author states that this flaw was found by reviewing the recently leaked Microsoft Windows source code. The flaw reportedly resides in 'win2k/private/inet/mshtml/src/site/download/imgbmp.cxx'.

    Ok, I know it's not much but sure is something!

    Indeed, that's what I always think. Try to put yourself 10 years ago. The predictions you could have made about the state of tech we are into right now would have been a bit low.

    What makes a game 3d? To me, Wolfenstein 3D looks as tridimensional as Half Life 2 (excluding the obvious quality, detail performance, etc.)
    If what I'm perceiving feels or looks like 3d, doesn't that make it 3d, regardless of whatever technique used?
    At least on my frame of reference!

  16. Re:solution on Adobe Confirms Unpatched PDF Backdoor · · Score: 5, Informative

    Oh, I missed to point out what you missed. From http://www.foxitsoftware.com/pdf/rd_intro.php

    Foxit Reader itself is free. As to add-ons, the critical add-ons are free while advanced add-ons are non-free. For example, you can use the following functions for free:

    * View or print PDF document
    * Basic PDF form operations i.e. filling out PDF forms and printing them out
    * Advanced PDF form operations, such as saving filled-out forms and import/export forms, free for personal usage only
    * View PDF as text
    * Critical add-ons, such as UI language package, JPEG2000/JBIG decoder, CJK package, GDI+ for early Windows version, etc

    The followings are several examples of non-free, advanced add-ons:

    * Foxit Reader Pro Pack is not free. It includes the following functions:
    o Annotation
    o Text viewer and text converter
    o Form filler
    o Spell checker
    o Advanced editing tools, including loupe tool, measure tools, image tool, file attachment tool, link tools, annotation selection tool, and more

    Actually without Pro Pack, you are still able to annotate a PDF document and print it out. However when you save the annotated document, it will be stamped with an evaluation mark on the top-right corner of the annotated pages. If you purchase a Pro Pack add-on, then there will be no evaluation mark.

    And your guess is correct, a program must simply check for device ID's, for example, the video card. 00:0f.0 VGA compatible controller: VMware Inc [VMware SVGA II] PCI Display Adapter These can't be changed on VMware, but in theory they could be changed in VirtualBox or BOCHS for example.

    Same thing happened to me.

    I used to work for a site in Argentina that was quite famous in it's time, Datafull.com
    Once, I mistakenly overwritten index.php with a version I had on my home server.
    That version had black background and in white letters at the center, it said: "FUCK OFF".

    The file was live for about 10 minutes, in wich 20.000 people saw it.
