Usually it doesn't matter, you just let the exe decrypt itself, then grab the decrypted code and rebuild the PE with it.

In which case, I can only assume we are aiming for greater efficiency than the sun. Thanks for your answer!

But you are talking about volumetric efficiency - the portions of the sun where fusion is actually taking place are far more efficient than that surely? I always believed they were trying to duplicate the suns core, not the whole ball of ga

There are far better solutions to this ITireFactory problem than PHP, which puts the tires directly onto the car, but forces you to buy a new car as soon every time you get a flat. Also, the tires are likely to explode every 16 left turns u

The difference between getting it done NOW and getting it done properly is very small in terms of time and huge in terms of safety. There really needs to be a "good" version of PHP.

The effort required to learn something better than PHP is not equivalent to learning everything about automobile engineering, its more like reading a maintenance manual. Sooner or later, the guy who fixes his car in the middle of the road w

This is no excuse. If you want to learn how to do something, effort is required. How much time will that person waste in the long run battling all of the problems and traps PHP brings with it? I contend that learning a proper language will

But not all of the money seized was gotten illegally. In fact noone except MU knows that for sure at the moment, but what we can be sure of, is that the amount is less than 100%. In the robbed bank case, you know exactly how much was stolen

Actually, when you put it like that, it does sound likely. I am speaking from the point of view of a person who knows very little about these "Kernel wars".

You seem to be saying that given the option of pirating and purchasing, you will always pirate - if that is the case, then you are part of a very small and militant demographic. I cant think of a single movie, album or piece of software tha

Now THAT is a sensible attitude! Bravo. Whenever there are large groups of people communicating, someone will find something to be offended at - and as long as it isn't personal or bigoted we need to just ignore it and move on. In this case

There is a very long list of bad governments, would you suggest the US should invade them all?

I don't think many people defend the government of Iran, they just don't want to start a war with them and feel that if there is something wrong with the Iranian government, then the Iranians should bloody well sort it out themselves.

I think for most people, $10 IS too much. Although we all talk tough about privacy, most people (even here) don't have much to hide from anyone, and when the difference between definitely secure, and probably secure (in terms of privacy and
