  1. Re:How hard is reverse engineering? on How Encrypted Binaries Work In Mac OS X · · Score: 1

    Wine is a reimplementation of the Win32 API, not reverse engineering in any way.

  2. Re:How hard is reverse engineering? on How Encrypted Binaries Work In Mac OS X · · Score: 1

    These are reimplementing win32 API (Application Programming INTERFACE), not reverse engineering it in any way.

    RC = Release Candidate. Candidate for Release. Which mean it could be released. Else it wouldn't be a candidate.

    Why not just kill Windows as we know it instead of "fixing" it.

    Hello world, I'm dumb.

  9. Re:Probably none. on Weakness In Linux Kernel's Binary Format · · Score: 1

    That's true. But remember that an anonymous remote exploiter doesn't know your username either, unlike root. So |Username| can essentially be added to |password|.

    In other words, ubuntu runs with root-equivalent access by default.
    Woah there. You need the user's password to change his password. You're not running as root until you give your user password to sudo. How is that different from giving your root password to a login prompt or su?

    and how the #@%^$ am I supposed to contact them and tell them - "Hey, you have a typo in your email address - I'm getting all these stupid "'I heart cats' would like to be added as one of your friends" messages ..
    Change their password. delete the account. They had it for only a couple of days anyway if you get their "welcome to myspace" email. They'll just create another one.

  18. Re:Good on Java to be Open Sourced in October · · Score: 1

    Sigh, did you even take one func. prog. class? Functional programming is very good at : recursive algorithms, concurrent, compilers, interpreters, evaluators, syntax and type checkers, theorem provers. Programming one of these does not prove anything about its efficiency for business applications. BUT, for scientific or engineering work (like ... i don't know, speech recongnition or network simulation), it is indeed very suited.

  19. Re:Good on Java to be Open Sourced in October · · Score: 1

    Writing an interpreter with a functional language is not a convincing example of productivity for general purposes.

  20. Re:Never in a million years on The Ad-Supported Operating System · · Score: 1

    more like Wine would make Windows obsolete. An open-source version of the win32 api is still better than a free beer and unpractical closed one.

    Watch the demo video (WTFD). Most the concepts (cannon shot, flying up) are shown. There's a couple of images about in the middle of the video when they illustrate some crazy things you could accomplish with portals.

    This is probably why you were answered so rudely. Your demand wasn't exactly polite either.
