Hey Tiler? Can you make something for The BrailleNote? (smiles)
That would be ausom!
Oh wait Hey Perfectional: do you think he'll still need a SDK?
hahahaha

>Hello all,

>I feel that a serious miscarriage of justice was committed 
yesterday
>(Thursday, December 24, 2009) on the Zone.  I had written some 
innocuous
>(harmless) code in C (which I will reprint below), and this 
prompted an
>investigation by Doug V, who came to the conclusion that, in his 
words, I
>had been "suggesting ways . . .  to hack [another user]'s 
account." The code
>I had written has nothing whatsoever to do with hacking.  Doug 
subsequently
>banned me for two weeks for my (apparent) wrongdoing.  I appealed 
the
>decision to the administration, and have yet to get a response.  
Another user
>was banned about thirty minutes before me on the same count.  
Here is the
>code, more or less.  Tell me, people: Is this, or is this not, 
considered
>"hacking another user's account?" My opinion is that it is not.

>---Start of Code---

>int main(int argc, char **argv[]){
>for (int i=1; i<=(sizeof(byte)*sizeof(ulong64)*209); i++)
>malloc((i*sizeof(ulong64)+sizeof(int64)*512));
>}

>---End of Code---

>This is simply a block of memory-allocation code (which, btw, 
won't work
>because malloc needs a variable to store its result in), which I 
directed at
>the user whose account Doug said I was suggesting ways to hack.  
Honestly, I
>feel that our CL's, before banning people, need to know *what* 
exactly they
>are dealing with (be it computer programming, speaking foreign 
languages,
>etc), and they need to do a thorough investigation to figure out 
exactly
>what harm, or lack thereof, could come from the questionable 
content posted
>in quicknotes or other media.
>Do you think that Doug was right in banning me for this? Why or 
why not?

>Thanks for your attention.
