Re: Sacrificing systems for gameplay
Are you referring to the security solution that closed all of the vulnerabilities in windows 9x? It disabled things such as "that other button on the mouse" which apparently had no legitimate use...
When I was at school their RM security solution thing was such a tempting challenge that I must have spent minutes working on the obscure kernel exploit I found to get around it. I discovered that if I triggered a certain interrupt it permitted a further exploit which I could use to fully bypass all protection mechansims. I called it the "CTRL+ALT+DEL - End Task" bug.
