True | fwork | null | Sure! It's a series of projects designed to enhance [Microsoft 3D Movie Maker](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/3D_Movie_Maker), a program for kids to make simple movies by manipulating 3D actors and props around a pseudo-3D scene.
The two technologically neat parts were the virtualization and the decompression. In reverse order:
**Virtualization**: Many of the datafiles for the program (like textures and 3D Models) were compressed using a proprietary algorithm. I was able to debug the EXE for the program and figure out where it made the decompress() call, but it was way too complicated to reverse engineer. Fortunately they had no dependencies so I could just call them with the right calling convention and use them to decompress the data.
But I couldn't simply take those bytes and redistribute them, this program is still copyrighted. So instead I made a DLL which located the installation directory for 3D Movie Maker on initialization, opened the EXE (as a file), and read in the bytes corresponding to those functions.
Then you could later call the decompress() function from the DLL, and it'd just call the bytes read in earlier and it'd work like a charm (This was in the early XP/late Win98 days, so I didn't have to worry about DEP). This let several projects (mine and others') use the decompression without copyright issues or a very length reverse-engineering process.
**Virtualization**: Now that the decompression hack meant we could reverse-engineer the model/texture formats, we were well on our way to being able to create our own props/actors/textures/etc. The only problem was how 3D Movie Maker worked: At startup, it searched all its data files (in a set directory under C:\Program Files) and stored those props/textures/actors. Then, when you opened a movie file, it simply referenced those existing items. Movies couldn't contain props or textures or anything like that.
So even if you did make a cool new actor to put in the program, you'd have to distribute it to everyone separately, and they'd have to have it installed just to watch your movie. Even more fun, if you opened a movie for which you didn't have all the props/actors/etc, it just gave you a generic error and failed. So you couldn't even put a "go download these items:" screen at the start of your movie.
So, I virtualized the filesystem. I used DLL hooking to implement a system where I could control all file-reads by the program. It presented a view of the filesystem that contained all the selected items used by a movie, plus the stock ones it shipped with. Where did it get the items? from inside the movie file! I created a new format for the movies which had a header listing all the items used, then the compressed data for those expansions, then the original movie expected by 3D Movie Maker. My program pulled out those items and made them look like datafiles, and then only presented the original movie format to the program.
And it did the reverse, when you saved a new movie: It took the list of items that were used, bound them up, then used the virtualized file-writing functions to embed them in the file.
To make this work I had to write a wrapper application which selected which items to use, and to launch the original program when you opened a movie. That's why I had to also patch out the startup sound and slow startup, or re-launching it for every movie would be terribly slow and annoying. | null | 0 | 1316721923 | False | 0 | c2lu5en | t3_kmshh | null | t1_c2lu5en | t1_c2lq1pg | null | 1427634136 | 10 | t5_2fwo | null | null | null |

True | bigdubb2491 | null | Seems rather poignant that the guy who admits to attacking Adobe in defense of MS and SL is now attacking MS and SL because of 'injustices'.
I am a SL guy, but now will be remarketing myself as a XAML guy. If people think that developers are going to jump on the unmanaged code bandwagon of JS over static typing and the power the .Net language gives you, you're nutz.
Personally, I can't disagree with the fact that SL might be dead, but it's legacy will live on in WinRT as will WPF. Languages etc are a progression over time and as developers we should be able to adapt to these changes in technology. | null | 0 | 1316725213 | False | 0 | c2lunr4 | t3_ko2wv | null | t1_c2lunr4 | t3_ko2wv | null | 1427634383 | 8 | t5_2fwo | null | null | null |

True | carlospzx | null | That's incorrect. You have to change a setting in Management Studio. MS disable that feature as a precaution, you can re-enable that feature by doing the following:

3) On the left Click on Designers
4) On the right uncheck "Prevent saving changes that require table re-creation"
Problem solved. :)

True | dhpye | null | Oracle software is great at self-selecting your development staff:
* They must be of above average intelligence, to deal with the rampant complexity bloat.

Within a couple of years of installing Oracle, your remaining development staff will be conditioned to never be a threat to any inanity that comes down the pipeline. They will become tools that serve.
