<center><b><u>When did you know that computers was your passion? ;)</center></b></u><br>
<br>

Dunno. Around age 10 or so. I used to beg my dad to go to his
office (http://www.mst.dk), so I could play all those cool
textmode adventure games on their VAX systems.<br>
<br>

<center><b><u>How did you become a member in the cracking scene?</center></b></u><br>
<br>

Hm. I'm not sure if I consider myself a "member" of the
cracking scene. First thing I cracked was a dos mode
CD-grabber (DAC, I think it was called). Turbo vision
program. Cracked it with turbo debugger. Ugly 16bit
oop code, it still makes me wake screaming in the nite ;)<br>
<br>

<center><b><u>Which programming languages can you code in?</center></b></u><br>
<br>

C, asm, pascal, c++. That order, I guess. Ohyeah, if you
think it's something different, add BCB and Delphi to
the list, not that I use or like visual programming languages.<br>
<br>

<center><b><u>What is your favorite programming language?</center></b></u><br>
<br>

C. Or assembler. Not really sure. I've had more fun doing
stuff with asm, but for serious programming, I do C faster.
I usually try to optimize speed-critical stuff in asm, though.<br>
<br>

<center><b><u>Are you a member of a cracking group?</center></b></u><br>
<br>

No, and I will not become a member. I don't have the time
for "group life", I hardly have time for cracking these days.
On top of that, I think most groups are kind of silly. (I do
enjoy the fruit of their work, though ;-)<br>
<br>

<center><b><u>Where did you get you handle? What does it mean?</center></b></u><br>
<br>

Hm. It's the sum of a lot of things. Probably it all begins
with a coop game of doom, playing memento mori ][. Ah, that
was the days of my life, back then. Anyway, I had to distract
the monsters while the other guy grabbed a key. So I was cannon
f0dder. Because O and 0 are pretty close, I mistyped it and wrote
"so I'm cannon f0dder, eh?". And that's the beginning.<br>
<br>

<center><b><u>Which individual or what group do you like/respect in the Cracking world?</center></b></u><br>
<br>

Dunno :). I guess egis, because he's done a lot of stuff I use.
CORE is a good group. They produce useful stuff. Phrozen Crew,
because they have nice art. But I'm not a scener, so I don't really
know many group names. Who cares, really? Ah, just to please ya,
drone (or is that "drones?" are soooo nice and stuff)<br>
<br>

<center><b><u>What do you do in 'real' life?</center></b></u><br>
<br>

Drink, have fun with my friends, go to school, bike.
And all those assorted things most people do.<br>
<br>

<center><b><u>Do people outside the cracking scene know what you do (parents, girlfriend etc.)?</center></b></u><br>
<br>

Some friends know. My parent's dunno enough about computers
to know what it means, but my mom knows I can "do stuff to
make programs work without paying", or similar to that. She
has asked me to fix a mahjong game called kyodai. Ah :)<br>
<br>

<center><b><u>What advises can you give to a newbie?</center></b></u><br>
<br>

Practice, practice, practice. DONT blindly follow tuts, because
then you'll miss out on everything, and when there's no easy
targets left, you'll be clueless. Start by learning your tools,
examining simple programs etc. Find winzip, crack/keygen it WITHOUT
following a tut. Then teleport pro. Slowly progress to other apps,<br>
<br>

<center><b><u>Wanna greet someone?</center></b></u><br>
Naw. I know too many nice people, so I'd just offend somebody if
I started listing, cause I am so damn demented. Well, I guess it's
appropriate to..."Thank you for molesting me so much, WarezPup!"<br>
<br>

<center><b><u>What else you have to say or any other comments?</center></b></u><br>
<br>

Nada, zip, zilch. Except...don't take anything so serious, be
a bit more lax, guys...<br>
