ROTS BAZAAR
(C) KVAZAR
Pryvitannya pavazhanyya chytachy. Znou is Vami nastupny
numar geta gazetki ;-)... If you have not noticed, I hasten to
please you, that the envelope in our publication has undergone
significant changes or rather changed at all. For this, we
express our sincere appreciation to the SPECTRE / OB from
Minsk. Yes, will not rust rim of your glasses, Andrew, like all
OB'shnikov!
Describe the differences between the new listalovki here I
am not going there built-in HELP, I note only that to the great
joy UnBELIVER'a and other nasty bug with the mouse and joystick
disappeared, and for those who can not read our paper before,
to announce that loading must be kept down "CAPS SHIFT" in all
ten editions. Long live the new enclosure! Hip, hip, hooray!
:-)
Radical changes were also touched upon the inner content of
the newspaper. Gone are some headings "the authors say,"
"Advertising", "Schedule ACS, "" Assembly language for
beginners. "The last was forced to close because of poor
presentation, moreover, that such information can be found in
many electronic editions. But a new section "Rotten Bazaar, in
which I will Bazaar with our readers about the various pressing
issues ...
We are often criticized for being too "serious" and "lack
humorous material. "As regards the first, here's all right. Our
newspaper is a news and entertainment, with focus on serious
information, and entertainment - they are so casually. But on
the second point, that no matter who said humor us enough,
maybe too much. And today's edition is no exception from a good
tradition.
By the way, if not frightening Gomel spektrumistov incipient
departure of our newspaper from a purely urban issues and
questions. For coverage of the network beyond the Fighting
Sheet. " This does not mean that we will pay less attention to
their own "domestic" issues, just makes the situation more and
more to deal with the scene. After all, until, unfortunately,
our newspaper much bolsheh degree on demand outside the city
than in very Gomel. And this fact can not disappoint ...
Today, I'd like to share with you a very interesting
information. The fact that all these facts are so egregious,
I just can not gloss over them ...
Fraudsters are always met at all times. Not spared a
phenomenon, and computers. Even on the Spectrum, especially in
the initial during its evolution, there were people ready at
the first opportunity to warm pocket expense of others. :-(
All, of course, remember the music editor of the "ASC SOUND
MASTER" or simply "ASM". Has long been thought (and I thought
so myself until recently) that its author is well-known Andrew
Sendetsky from Dnepropetrovsk. Nobody, seemingly not
embarrassed, clearly conspicuous "foreignness" as an interface
editor, and the presence of some kind, it is unclear what is
written by the operating system. " Imagine my surprise when I
came upon a proprietary English version of "ASM", written by
OCEAN in 1992. After comparing listings both programs, there
could be no doubt of their identity. The most interesting thing
that the logo OCEAN is in the body is absolutely All versions
of this editor, apparently Andrew Sendetsky simply not noticed
it or had forgotten to remove after the brazen write there own
name. All anything, think big deal, many Hackers do so. But I
wince more - as this same Andrew, nothing daunted, was able to
shake for his plagiarism, the magazine spectrophone "almost $
200 :-((()))!
A similar situation occurred with the so-called
'Novosibirsk' ELITE-3 '. An enterprising hacker - Vladimir
Kladov managed get somewhere branded "ELITE-2, and after minor
modifications, which were limited to the emergence of demo mode
and install a new security release a new version is already
under their copyright. How many able weld baggage on this fraud
had remained a mystery. It is only known that his attempt to
throw a "spectrophone" a huge sum failed miserably, the defense
was quickly hacked and kraknutaya already the second time, Tver
hackers "ELITE-3" went for a walk in the country.
And here, dear readers, an example of the blatant and
despicable fraud. In early 1997, a certain group of Kirov
OVERFILE released a promotional video, which contained
"significant" Information about supposedly issued by the group
of the latest programs converted to the IBM PC: "DOOM", "MORTAL
KOMBAT-2", "WARCRAFT" and a number of other, equally famous
games. In the colorfully decorated brochure stated kordinaty
group OVERFILE: city and a post office box (!) ought to send a
certain amount, after which users promised floppy disk with
these prog. Naturally, after sending money, the unfortunate
user has did not get a PO Box with bribes smooth. Oddly enough,
fallen into this trap a lot of famous people, including
FIKUS-PIKUS from the Novosibirsk group FLASH. But STEP is not
taken aback and immediately got to the core cheaters. In the
end, the guys weld attendants, no less than fame Mednonogov ...
So, dear users - Always be alert and stay away from these
bastards ...
