TIGCC v0.93 Released
Posted by Eric on 5 February 2002, 09:54 GMT

Sebastian Reichelt of the TIGCC team has released the long-awaited TIGCC v0.93, their C compiler for the TI-89 and TI-92+. Check out the Changelog to find out what's new; a vastly updated IDE seems to be the main improvement. Also check out the source code and the alternative files.

A few months ago, I posed an interesting ethical question: Is it all right to write a virus, if it's only for educational purposes?

Most of you seemed to agree with me that it was. Now, I have another question:

If a virus is annoying and potentially harmful, but cannot be spread, then what's the point?

If you only want to get one person for something... that's what I think... not that I've written a virus or anything... ]:-)

How could trashing someone's computer be for educational purposes?


The virus I've always wanted to create, but never have, because I think it might be illegal: A virus that just changes the wallpaper to a christmas tree and have some kind of comfirm box that says "Merry Christmas! \n Do you want to fix your wallpaper?" [YES] [NO] and then it would send it to everyone on the mailing list. It's not harmful, it can't mess up the computer, so would it be legal?

The whole mass e-mail thing can cause numerous servers to crash, possibly causing thousands to billions of dollars in damage (like Nimda, which does almost nothing else).

You too?

It probably would be illegal because people can get in serious tropuble for sending "prank" e-mail. Someone at my school got his internet connection cut off because of that (or so he says...)

Many virii, specially in the old days, didn't mean to do any damage, but did anyway because of programming errors...

And as other said, it still loads down mail servers, which is the biggest problem with mass mailing worms/trojans.
Many of them do nothing more then mail themselfs to other users, which should in other words be even less harmfull then your suggestion. Still is a big problem.

Actually, I don't know. I just know that many sites that specifically is about computer viruses/virii use the word "virii".
Seems after some searching that the more correct is "viruses" though.

If it can't be spread, or more accuratly, can't spread itself, then its not a virus. Just an annoying and potentially harmful program.
For a program to be a virus, it has to spread itself without the knowledge of the user.

No, you are wrong. For a program to be a "virus," all it needs to do is replicate itself. It does not need to spread to other computers, and the original virii were written by some college students as a contest. They would put them on a hard drive, let them loose, and see whose won.

As for the news item, I think it would be cool if someone made a version of this that could write code for the 86, 85, 83, etc.

On a totaly unrelated item, I recently got an HP-49 (~45% rebate, so it cost ~$90), and I find it easier to learn and more versital than the 89. It is a bit slower, though. Anyone who wants to argue with me, flame me, etc., please use E-Mail and do not send me juvenile trash (eg. "HP sux!! TI rulez!!")

Read my post again.
I only said "spread" not "spread between systems"
I'm sorry if I was unclear, with "spread" I only meant "replicate".
I'll use my trumph card "I'm not native in the english language" :)

That contest was for, I believe, someone like Intel to test out their new software. For like a week all these hackers made programs to try to break in to it. They have done it 4 times, and only the last one has the program been proved unhackable.

As I walk through the valley where I harvest my grain,
I take a look at my wife and realize she's very plain.

A local boy kicked me in the butt last week.
But I just smiled at him, and I turned the other cheek.
I really wasn't mad; in fact, I wish him well.
For I'll be laughing my head off when he's burning in hell.

I ain't never punched a tourist, even if he deserved it
an Amish with a 'tude, you know that's undheard of
I never wear buttons, but I got a cool hat,
and my hommies agree, I really look good in black, fool!
If you come to visit, you'd be bored to tears,
we haven't even payed the phonebill in 300 years
but we ain't really quaint, so please don't point and stare,
we're just technogically impaired

There's no phone, no light, no motorcar,
not a single luxury.
Like Robinson Carusoe, It's as primitive as can be...
