I'm not any good in assembly, but to me it seems as if PIFTS.exe both reads and writes to/from the registry and other files. It even appears to look out for debuggers (see line 8093). Other interesting addresses in the .asm-file:

Re:No swaggering...

On: A Short Summary Following the Pirate Bay Trial

I think the Swedish system is like the Norwegian. There are three different courts. In the first court you do not have a jury, you have one "real" judge and two "lekfolk" (randomly picked normal people). A jury will appear in the second or third court.

Re:"Upgrade" to IE 7

On: Norwegian Websites Declare War On IE 6

I have actually heard the Finn.no developers explain this. It's because the average IE6 user belives that the browser and the internet is the same thing. These users don't care about different browsers and will not download some other sort of internets.

Re:Hmm

it was just an example, but building or getting a hold of a transmitter that works the 5,9 Ghz band is no problem. As far as I can see, the WAVE-standard supports distances up to 1 Km; imagine some idiot playing around with something like that.

So if "talking" cars actually will be used in the future, what happens if I configure my wireless network (or something else) to work on the same frequency? Could be interesting doing that on a busy road....
