I wonder how much time will it take to them to put notepad.exe on their black list (in “Virus writing editor” category)?
Safari browser is broken
Posted by on June 12th, 2007 in Fun · 1 CommentLast weekend i’ve been playing with an iMac, i was checking my website against its Safari browser and i was very pleased to see it works pretty good (all things were rendered correctly).
Now Apple made Safari browser available for Windows too, but its rendering is pretty much broken, most of the sites (except apple.com) are rendered incorrectly (compared to the results from IE, Opera and FF) one way or another.
My website is missing some pieces in Safari (headers, navigation tabs):
At first i thought it’s my fault (some incorrect CSS styling or smth), but then i’ve realized even Google’s site is broken (blank spaces):
I wonder did they even test it in Windows before the release?

PayPal madness
Posted by on May 15th, 2007 in Fun · 0 CommentsOk, today i wanted to check status of my unused PayPal account, everything went fine until i read that my account is limited becouse i didn’t sign upgraded license terms. So i wanted to sign this god damn thing but i couldn’t find it on their website, instead i found this:
Especially i like the “cannot be appealed” term
I thought, let’s close my current account and create a new one, but it’s not possible with limited accounts
So i can’t use my account, i can’t close it and i can’t create a new account using my current data
Update: already fixed, all i had to do was to read 1MB of documentation

What has a turtle to do with a chicken
Posted by on April 20th, 2007 in Fun · 0 CommentsAnother pic of my sick friend, as you see this turtle was fighting, but it got scanned eventually – like always , one other thing, he was calling this turtle a chicken “look at his nails, they’re like chicken’s nails” he kept saying.
Don’t blame me for this, blame stressful education and sugar free cola!
VMware detection (anti-debugging trick against TRW)
Posted by on April 15th, 2007 in Assembler · 5 CommentsSome of the anti-debugging tricks can be used to detect VMware, one of them is an old anti TRW (TRW was a popular debugger in 9x days) trick.
This anti-debugging trick works fine on a real Windows 9x installations (95, 98, ME) but it raises an exception under VMware (while reading IDT entry).
BOOL IsVMware9xTrw() { // detect NT/XP/Vista if ( (GetVersion() & 0x80000000) == 0 ) { return FALSE; } // detect VMWare (anti debugging trick against TRW) // VMware isn't detected with vm acceleration disabled __try { __asm { sub esp, 6 sidt fword ptr [esp] pop ax pop eax mov al, byte ptr [eax + 00Eh] } } __except(EXCEPTION_EXECUTE_HANDLER) { return TRUE; } return FALSE; }
