   I find assembler is _much_ easier than C. At least the x86/amd64 and arm assemblers that I know. And assembler is much closer to the hardware, so would recommend learning x86 assembler as the first language, then C, then some scripting lang

   That's it! The governments take our privacy and freedoms one by one, and we are afraid to fight it or even say NO... They have won. The people is already under total control, nobody can take the power from the people ruling this world.

    I can say the same for high level code, but I use debuggers when the source code is not available or I'm coding a device driver or something in assembly.

    I wonder, once every piece of motherboards are shipped with MS key, how much CPU time would be needed to factor the private key and sign anything? Some distributed piece of software running on thousands of anonymous machines should solve th

    Knowing nothing about GSM internals, I wonder if it is possible to create an application (Androind and/or IPhone) which will let you track the keys of the GSM towers, whitelist them, and alert when they are changed/altered?

    I don't see anything illegal in disassembling shareware or any other type of software. Compare it with disassembling your smartphone/alarm clock/hand watch/.. to find out how it works. Why should it be illegal?

    I wouldn't say it's dead, there are many shareware software out there. For example, Topic-Starter's PVS-Studio aka PVS-Studio.v4.56.Incl.Keygen-NOY ;)

    I'm speaking of software right now, not TV/BD+. I beleive 99.99% of those who pirate will never buy a game just because they don't want to wait several days (or weeks, very rare). DRM only harasses those who don't pirate. >> Starcra

    Well, nothing new. If it runs, it can be cracked. I say it as a reverser (legal) with more than 10 years of exp. So, instead of investing money/time into the protection mechanisms, it's better to use the resources to improve your software.
