Ok, 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

Another 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!

Some 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;

Please test this code on your own systems and tell me about the results.

Finally got my hands on this new HIEW version (after a long battle about diffrent views on the licensing terms, hi Eugeny) and i admit it looks pretty cool, a must have for every re-person.

MultiExtractor does what it says - extracts multimedia files (bitmaps, icons avi movies etc.) from the binary files.
This is a pretty useful utility written by my friend, here are a few screenshot of it in action.
Main Window in different flavours:
MultiExtractor vs C:\Windows folder (numbers in the treeview says how many resources has been extracted):
