K1n9_Duk3 has recreated the source code of Commander Keen 1-3, Commander Keen 4-6 and BioMenace in such a way that 100% identical executables can be compiled. And now Dangerous Dave in Copyright Infringement can be added to that list.

36 years ago, John Carmack and Tom Hall created Dangerous Dave in Copyright Infringement, the tech demo that started id Software. To celebrate this event, let's discuss the reconstructed source code. pckf.com/viewtopic.ph...

Dik Trom en het circus is een kinderfilm van Henk van der Linden uit 1960. Bassie en Adriaan doen hun komisch acrobatennummer en de act met de stoelen als The Crocksons. En er zit een scène in van 3,5 minuut waarin Dik Trom zijn vrienden dwingt om verkleed als indiaan een pijp te roken. 😲

The source code of the game before it (Catacomb II) and the game that came after it (Commander Keen 1) are available. How hard can it be to combine the two to recreate the source code of Dangerous Dave in Copyright Infringement, the tech demo that started id Software?

Today I watched One-Eyed Jacks, a western from 1961 starring and directed by Marlon Brando. "Wait, is that Snub Pollard?" I had to pause the movie to check on IMDb to confirm my suspicion.

It's impossible to create a working keytab file with multiple SPNs using AES encryption with Microsoft's ktpass by only reading its documentation. /rawsalt optional? That's absolutely wrong if you want a functional keytab. learn.microsoft.com/en-us/window...

Robert Englund was talking about Stay Hungry (1976) at the I Heart Horror convention. He mentioned working with Jeff Bridges, Sally Field and Bob Rafelson. I was about to shout "Arnold Schwarzenegger" at him. Thankfully I didn't because I would've spoiled one of his great stories he was telling.

Apparantly, during gameplay Jazz Jackrabbit doesn't use Mode 13h or Mode X. It uses odd/even mode. I've tried to reverse engineer it, but I wasn't successful. If someone else wants to have a look, it's easier to analyse the beta version of the game engine. news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4283...
