    retrieving floating point values from open process

    Ok the best way to do this is dll injection / function hooking. Finding memory locations is quite hard if the addresses are randomised each time you run the binary (which is common now)... Some addresses/offsets are predicable however but this isnt the best way to do it. cat /proc/pid/maps (on...

    What is your dress code at work (office peeps)?

    We have 3 different dress codes depending on what is going on. 90% of the time in the office its just whatever you want to wear. Then we have leathers shoes, shirt days sometimes when a client is in. Then we got full business dress (suit,tie etc) when a more important client is in :p

    Anyone here Happy in an average job?

    I'm not massively happy in my current job... even though its well payed and quite enjoyable and could be far worse.

    work life

    I totally hear you man. Although I quite like my job and get payed really well.. I hate the routine 9-5 (well its more like 9-7 or 8 atm). I feel totally wasted after getting back from work and hate the structure. So yeah, I am thinking about going back to uni to do a Phd and taking a massive...

    Working and family life

    My new job leaves me with very little free time really. I'm typically doing 8:30 - 20:00 weekdays and working the occasional Saturday as well... +1 hour commute each way.

    Random Change of Password?

    No there are a million ways to change the password if you have physical access to the box. /etc/passwd /etc/shadow are the files which store your password not /usr/passwd as billy said. As mentioned above however booting to a lower runlevel and using root to change it can do. If you can't do...

    Newcastle

    I really wouldn't bother with the metrocenter. Eldon square / city center has most shops you will ever need and there is a better selection of drinking establishments / eateries.

    Cheapest/best way to run a tiny java application on a server?

    Some hosts do actually allow you ssh access and background processes - however these are becoming more and more rare these days. Cheapest way would be to run it on an university server you have access too if possible =)
