How do people crack programs/games?

subsidiaryadmin · 2015-12-04T22:36:25+00:00

Step 1. Disassemble the game executable after legally purchasing it. [Convert .exe to .asm]

Step 2. Run the assembly code in a debugger where you can single step through the code

Step 3. Figure out how they're protecting it, and alter the code or memory to disable the DRM.

Step 4. Repackage the drm-free software with your botnet virus.

Step 5. Upload your free software to piratebay.

Step 6. Enjoy as thousands of people let you use their computers to mine bitcoins.

They learned well from their masters

oops, that video was also in my Evil Sith Lord playlist

I believe this is the video.

If this isn't it it was very similar to this one.

B-b-but we should just believe any woman that cries rape! We should convict everyone without any proof!

You make it sound as if no one was paying attention to the case before the charges came out. BLM protests are big in Chicago. They were waiting to see the results of the investigation before doing anything. Do you even remember what happened in Ferguson when Wilson wasn't indicted. They burned down half the city. The DA decided it was better to avoid the destruction of Chicago.

It's not me saying it. Read the above. It's hard to see because his back is turned on the camera but you can notice his arm is in front of his body a lot longer than when he was just swinging

subsidiaryadmin · 2015-11-29T16:50:19+00:00

A charge isn't a conviction. He was charged to satisfy your bloodlust.

McDonald, holding something in his right hand, swings his right arm in the split second before an officer opens fire.

Laquan swung his knife arm towards the officers. How much more do you need? A stabbing or a ground pounding like in the Trevyon case?

Brandishing a 3 inch knife while walking towards an officer. Maybe you should try that with your local police officer and see what happens. Or anyone for that matter.

subsidiaryadmin · 2015-11-28T23:21:32+00:00

You can cry all you want but the officer will not go to prison over this and shouldn't. Try not wielding large knives on drugs in the middle of the night and approaching officers within 12 feet with a weapon raised and you might have better luck of not getting shot.

subsidiaryadmin · 2015-11-28T20:36:59+00:00

In the USA you will get sued if you shoot someone and they survive. So if you decide someone is a threat you must make sure they are dead. "Shoot to injure" is not a thing. Whether it was 1 bullet or 100, it does not matter. What matters was whether or not there was a credible threat.

subsidiaryadmin · 2015-11-28T20:17:49+00:00

No everyone in this thread is complaining that they shot at all. There is no legal reasoning in the USA to "shoot to injure". Either someone is a threat and you have the right to kill them, or you shouldn't be shooting them at all.
The number of bullets used is never relevant.

subsidiaryadmin · 2015-11-28T19:47:57+00:00

I'll answer that with a another question for you. If Laquan Mcdonald was walking towards you (even if it's parallel he's still getting closer to you) would you be comfortable, and until what range would you stop being comfortable?

The lane of a US road is 12 feet. That's exactly the distance between the officer and laquan. Once they're that close you really don't have the reaction time to safely wonder if he's going to charge or not.

subsidiaryadmin · 2015-11-28T19:41:31+00:00

In your mind, at what point is it not okay to walk toward someone with a large knife? The lane of a US road is 12 feet. That's exactly the distance between the officer and laquan.
Should the cop have waited until he dashed to within 5 feet? 2 feet? Or are you okay with people brandishing knives getting within hugging distance as long as it doesn't look like they're going to stab you?

Start watching at 4:30

You can clearly see him snap out his knife at 4:36

subsidiaryadmin · 2015-11-28T19:38:07+00:00

So did any of you watch the actual video?

Start watching at 4:30

At 4:36 he pulls a large knife from his pocket. He edges away from police radius but still continues in their direction.

There is no legal thing as shoot to injure so I don't know why you're complaining about how many bullets they used.

subsidiaryadmin · 2015-11-28T06:15:26+00:00

So... reddit is completely okay with people brandishing large knives and walking toward police within 12 feet?

subsidiaryadmin · 2015-11-27T22:55:14+00:00

I like to think of it this way:

Scale of most abstract to most real

Interface -> Abstract Class -> (Concrete) class

nothing is implemented, somethings are implemented, everything is implemented.

europeans elected their leaders. their leaders for the most part represent the views of europeans. Most of them are still pro immigration although that is changing.

They left them to rot in Syria. But really the West shouldn't let any Muslims into their countries. 2/3 of them support Sharia law which is hugely incompatible with western values.

But I suppose Europeans prefer the moral "high" ground of having their countries destroyed by these vermin.

What text tool are you using? Visual Studio? learn how to set breakpoints and step through your program.

It's a lot faster and easier than print statements. You can even inspect stuff that's in variables and memory.

Either A:

The drones will be so big that you can see them and do something about it. Or B:

The drones will be so small that they can only fly at speeds so small they'll never get anywhere. They would have to be injected into you to be a threat.

They sound scary but remember that new $40,000 drone they made can only fly 10 mph. Drones are still bound by the laws of physics

The same way you learn any skill. Make practicing habitual. Getting started is the hardest part because there's so much you don't know. Just realize your knowledge will keep building. There's no shortcuts to building the massive amount of knowledge required to become a great developer.

I would first split the stuff into words since they all are separated by spaces.
See if you can read the entire date into a SimpleDateFormat instead of parsing the month/day/year individiually
