Hacked Already — I knew this wouldn’t take long.
The patch is the result of two stages: code analysis and design of the patch. The code analysis, or reverse engineering, reveals the relevant code block, which overrides Skype’s limitation for Intel’s dual-core CPUs. The patch design isolates the minimal set of instructions that need to be modified to cancel this limitation.
Code Analysis
About time , they should learn not to mess with fustrated users
I imagine a cease and desist order will be issued soon against this patch based on violation of the DCMA.
Sorry I meant DMCA.
I belive I predicted this. Not a real toughie to predict though…
I consider violating the DMCA to be an act of civil disobedience. It is bad law.
The DMCA is probably one of the worst pieces of legislation to come out of congress in quite some time. And it came out during the Clinton years. I guess not everything evil is from Bush.
Yeah, but Bush was alive and probably thinking about running for President when the DMCA was hatched, so it’s got to be at least partly his fault.
Isn’t everything Bush’s fault – kind of like the 6 degrees from Kevin Bacon thing?
