A computer historian tells the story of one of the earliest copy protection battles of the personal computer era.Laine Nooney (VICE)
like this
Yes, I was a kid in those days. Didn't know what copyright was. I used Locksmith, Nibbles Away, and several others. None of those worked on Ultima IV, so I broke the copy protection myself, using the boot tracing technique. I observed that Ultima IV's DOS could read and write the standard format. So once I had it loaded into memory and stopped at a breakpoint, I called on it to read the boot disk, then swapped to standard DOS and wrote that data back out to a blank formatted disk. Worked beautifully. Didn't have to modify the code at all, and the copy protection was all gone.
Then I amused myself hacking at the game. For fun, decided to change all the graphics, make it more colorful. Unfortunately, that accentuated the blockiness, and I decided the original graphics were better. Did the same to Moebius, and greatly improved its performance simply by interleaving the sectors of the disk with the battle code that it had to load every time you got into a fight, reducing the load time from 20 seconds to 5 seconds.

Following oral argument at the US Court of Appeals for DC this afternoon in National #Treasury Employees #Union v. #RussVought, a case in which the court is considering whether the #Trump admin’s efforts to unilaterally shut down the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (#CFPB) are constitutional, Constitutional Accountability Center Equal Justice Works Fellow Anna Jessurun issued this:

CAC Release: At the D.C. Circuit, Everyone Agrees that the Constitution Does Not Permit the President to Unilaterally Shutter the CFPB | Constitutional Accountability Center
WASHINGTON, DC – Following oral argument at the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia this afternoon in National Treasury Employees Union v.Constitutional Accountability Center
“The DC Circuit should block the administration’s actions to shutter the agency & uphold #Congress’s plenary power over the existence & structure of federal agencies.”
…
“If President #Trump wants to shut down the #CFPB, the #Constitution requires that he go to Congress & get it to give him the authority to do that. Notably, he has not done so.”

From Reuters:
Appeals judges prod #Trump admin, #union over #CFPB wind-down
Federal appeals court judges in Washington wrestled Friday with the extent to which they could instruct the Trump admin to operate the government's consumer finance watchdog agency, which the White House this year has sought to decimate if not shut down entirely.

I didn't think you belittled them; I'm sorry if my comment came off as abrasive.

Claiming that something doesn't exist because there's no evidence that proves it exists is a fallacy in itself, specifically the argument from ignorance fallacy. That's like saying a person isn't guilty of committing a crime because there's no evidence that proves they did commit the crime, but replace "commit a crime" with "not existing" and replace "person" with "God."

The way a lot of western philosophers define atheism - "lack of belief or disbelief in the claims of existence of a deity" can be confusing. It's saying I don't know for sure but personally, I lean towards non existence. Hence we have words like agnostic atheist to make it precise.
I prefer to phrase the atheist claim this way: "there's no reason to believe in a God". It avoids some side discussions.
The definition of atheism, "lack of belief or disbelief in the claims of existence of a deity," equally applies to both agnostic and gnostic atheist because both kinds of atheist lack belief (disbelieve) in the claims of the existence of a diety; one just claims that God doesn't exist while the other doesn't. There doesn't appear to be anything wrong with the definition.
Exactly. It doesn't differentiate gnostic or agnostic atheism even though most philosophers mean agnostic atheism. Then you have to clarify that you don't claim that a God doesn't exist. (the side discussion)
That's why I prefer my definition. It conveys agnostic atheism immediately.
"There's no reason to believe in a God" doesn't just apply to agnostic atheism. Gnostic atheists also believe there's no reason to believe in God, which is why they don't believe in one.
