Not really no, learn by knowing ASM inside and out, and how file headers work etc.

Yeah. It's getting worse, or maybe better...? For those who haven't, take a look at this link.

Those idiots - the managers, not the developers! - at Starforce should wake up, once and for all...

In parallel with biology, and similarly to the effect of gene-manipulated food, it is very hard - and would take a lot of work: money and time! - to prove without doubt that the failure of a hardware or software component in a computer can or cannot be attributed to this or that other component in the same computer (or its close environment, e.g. other computers in the LAN), in our case: namely Starforce.

It is not a surprise that many are against gene-manipulated food, even if they don't know whether it causes cancer or other illnesses or not: 1) the manufacturers of gene-manipulated food don't know for sure either and 2) food problems can be solved in other ways, as well.

So, what's the problem with complaining about a copy protection without provable presence (on our side) or absence (on the developer's side) of bugs, when the real problem is that has gone too far ([edit] read: too low level; compare genes with low-level drivers) and the same problem could be solved in other ways that have less potentially bad consequences for the customer?

starforce?

Never!

In france,starforce is already forbidden because it writes itself to deep into your system. A very wise decision.

RELOADED, keep fighting!

We will win!
