If you listen to security experts, much of "hacking" (which should be cracking, BTW) is just social engineering. Does that mean it will now be illegal to own a dictionary?No, breaking into computers==hacking, breaking copyright protection schemes== cracking.-tinjaw (July 07, 2007, 01:21 PM)
f0dder, that's one funky coasterIt took ~3 seconds in the microwave to make it look like that... along with scary sounds from the microwave itself, and blue lightning bolts along the surface of the disc. Preeeeety funky stuff-Lashiec (July 06, 2007, 06:33 PM)
as you've mentioned that the law targets tools that are designed to "commit a crime" then it sounds like they need to be more specific - how many tools are designed solely to commit a crime?It's up to the same retards who passed the law to judge whether something was "designed to commit a crime" - there's reason to be reacting.-nudone
and if this applies to the individual then does that not also mean that they will need to prove that your intention was to "commit a crime". simply possessing a particular tool doesn't automatically mean you are going to do something criminal with it.Obviously you need to do something to get enough attention for law enforcement to get a search warrant and look through your computers. Doesn't make the law any less retarded, though.-nudone
if it litterally means you'll be done for merely 'owning' something then i see many software programs quickly changing their names - or changing there names every month.And then there's things like OllyDebug, IDA, (...) that have nothing to do with hacking (since reverse engineering != hacking), but because people in the legal system are such computer-illiterate idiots, they'd be classified that way. I don't live in .de or .uk and I'm not really doing anything to draw legal attention to myself, but I don't like how things are developing...-nudone
*** [Damn damn damnHm, how did you reach that conclusion?
it IS the drive(or it's software/driver maybe?) must try update software etc.
It's a Plextor - wasnt expecting any problems with that...]-tomos (July 05, 2007, 10:40 AM)
- a bunch of programs hook kernel functions, since they really need to do that in order to work properly. Too bad you can only see the last hooking program, since hooks can be layered. There isn't really any reliable way to determine multiple levels of hooks, though.Well, I meant more in the sense "and do you reckon they might fix up their default behaviour?". Doing the contribution itself is mostly a no-brainer, I even think their license requiresa it?If this turns out well, are you going to contribute this back to the SMF people?
Of course. What a ridiculous question! we're not savages here!-mouser (July 04, 2007, 06:21 PM)
Right now if you search using the editbox at top of the forum, while you are in a forum section, it will ONLY search in that forum section.It's very disorienting indeed!
This is very disorienting and most people don't realize it.
What if ZillaRank changed this behavior and always searched the whole board, BUT (here is the clever part), gave a higher score bonus to results from the section you are in at the time of search.-mouser (July 04, 2007, 09:41 PM)
Nah, you just need to make sure the compiler and linker are invoked with "below normal" priority, then you still take advantage of both your cores for compiling, but the system still runs pretty smoothly. Trust me, it works wondersone is a compiler that takes about 7 minutes to complete and pegs the CPU at 100% (50% on a dual core) the while.Get a build system that supports parallelization... it's really great putting your dualcore system to work-Ralf Maximus-f0dder (July 04, 2007, 06:10 PM)
Bah. T'weren't for the extra core, my system would be locked up while the compile compiles. :-)-Ralf Maximus (July 04, 2007, 11:52 PM)
it means that a public thank you, or a nice note with a 0.01 donationcredit gift, might be more meaningful and make someone happier than a larger donation without a fun thank you note.Indeed!-mouser

Plextor drives in combo with PlexTools is generally considered one of the better solutions.Too bad it doesn't work out that way in practice >_< - even with unscratched & non-protected CDs, I didn't get consistent results when ripping the same album multiple times with plextools. Both EAC and dBp does, and dBp even comes close to plextool's speed.-Plasma Man
Can you not create/generate a one-time scheduled task for the deletion/moving/renaming of the folder at the said time the user requested? the scheduler is already running and offers you the flexibility of error codes, triggers and what not.Yeah, you could do that, but then you might end up with a lot of entries for the task scheduler, depending on how frenzied the user is-justice (July 03, 2007, 06:14 PM)
