I'll have to check out the ram. I know it boots and network and hdmi work but will have to dig out a spare keyboard to try to log in and see what it can do

Hmm yeah that's really weird... I can't think of a purpose for a check like that, plus even it was a valid reason throw an exception or return a result indicating failure, don't just corrupt the file

I had a cheap generator. I plugged in an extention cord through the window, into a powerstrip with the fridge, modem and 2 sockets to charge devices. Worked perfectly when I needed it but I also had a kerosene space heater so I wasn't too concerned about freezing(bring all blankets into the living room, build a blanket fort atleast 6 feet away from the space heater and have everyone cuddle, calms people down, provides warmth and forms bonds.

Wow... If you can answer was this like a single company or were you selling the service to other companies?

If selling to multiple companies did you offer a "new" version and a "security patch" for the old or just made everyone use your implementation?

You are right but I would love to see that court case. "yes your honor it said the character was copywrited at the beginning of launching the game and the full legal text was available in the options menu but if you pressed square, triangle, then square when the match was 3-2 and the opponent was at 172% stock the copywrite symbol didn't appear so I thought that instance was fair game" and the judge just responds "no"

I had this happen to me. The program was only used internally but it was possibly the worst code that would compile. My personal favorite was the "login". When launching the program it accessed a local sql server. On that server was a table named "login" which you would assume had a list of all users and their passwords right?

Now that would be bad because you could launch ssms directly and just look at the table but when you did that there was 1 entry user "admin" password "admin".

But that's not all... When you look at the code these values are hard coded in. There is a linq query to check the login table for an entry with username "admin" and password "admin" and return the values in password. Now you might be thinking what the hell but here's the kicker...when it got the response back it checked len(password) => 5

Yup... Didn't check if password was correct just that the length of the password was equal to or greater than 5.

The actual username entry box? Yeah it didn't validate anything. You could just bang your hand on the keyboard and log in... Really you didn't even have to do that. You had to click or tab into the field and then click login. It didn't require you to enter anything just that the username field was active at some point.

I think I'm going to take sobriety more honestly now. On Monday I was at work and threw up some stomach acid. I decided to take a half day and told my boss who was ok with it. I went to shut down my computer and next thing I knew I was in an ambulance. Just got out of hospital yesterday, supposedly I had a seizure from withdrawal.

Im taking next week off from work to take care of myself but that was scary and I don't want to go through that again. I knew I was getting bad but didn't expect it to be that bad. I never got wasted, just commonly had a buzz to feel normal. The hospital stay sucked and I was completely out of it for most of it. Now I can't drive for 3 months(not a dui but state law regarding seizures).

Atleast on America that is by law if publicly traded. Let's say a company discovers something that amazing, say cure for cancer and decides they are going to give it out for free for the benefit of mankind. They can be sued and will likely lose. Only real defense would be they thought the goodwill from giving away for free would earn the shareholders more money through goodwill towards the company. A smaller scale version of this would be like a farm raising animals in non-optimal conditions (for profit but nicer to the animals like free-range instead of cages). They could argue the customers will be willing to pay a premium for that.

If not publicly traded they can do whatever they want. If governmental they should have a goal or mission statement that states what their intent is(usually it's not profit) but if it's publically traded legally their only motive is profit to the shareholders.
