E N D N O T E S Distributing your serial number is illegal and is no different than distributing illegal copies of the registered software. Violation of this rule may result in temporary or permanent revocation of this license and cancellation of the serial number; the original licensee will also be held responsible for damages, physical and estimated. Do not distribute your crack release based on this tutorial, because you become a LAMER(s)!!!!!!!! ( tHATDUDE (PC97) defined LAMER(s) is the guy who sits in front of personal computer, using Hex Editor, ripping off other group(s) crack release, repacking (distro) them under his name. Adopted from newsgroup alt.cracks, alt.crackers - February 1997 ) More about LAMER(s): lamer /n./ [prob. originated in skateboarder slang] Synonym for luser, not used much by hackers but common among warez d00dz, crackers, and phreakers. Oppose elite. Has the same connota tions of self-conscious elitism that use of luser does among hackers. < SOURCE: http://sagan.earthspace.net/jargon/jargon_27.html > Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity ASTAGA [D4C/C4A] tute-netoptimizer30.zip [EOF] 12/17/00 6:08:55 PM
