Why would they invite me if I had a card that they know can't run SCII?
Prior to getting this invite, I was working on the forum icons... I thought that I could get the SCII crack, install GalaxyEdit, rip out the button icons using Resource Hacker or some equivalent, and then delete the entire installation. (Didn't feel like doing the alpha transparency myself ;P) Couldn't run SCII due to lack of shaders; couldn't install GalaxyEdit. The game autodetected the lack of shader support, you'd think their beta system invite would've done a quick check to see of GeForce 4 MXes had shaders.
Btw, when obscuring data for screenshots like that, you should use something more destructive than a 'swirl' filter.
It is possible for someone to apply the reverse filters to your image and get your original data back. You should use a straight pixel colour operation, or something that can't be easily reversed like a blur operation.

The first eMail under "Steam Support" is from "The Art Institute". So much for your method of obscuring. Btw. you don't even need a reverse filter, just try reading it.
Funny thing is, you don't even have to read the E-mail, you can just go on your battle.net account and download it there once you are invited. Fail, bitch.
PWNT!

NudeRaider -- EUD actions, specifically. The conditions remained. Today we can even have actions again, but they're all virtualized/whitelisted (not sure on the actual technical implementation) so you can only use them for specific intended purposed, not arbitrary code injections.

NudeRaider -- I mean yes, maps - through EUDs - were theoretically able to do that as well, but that was patched quickly.
Symmetry shouted: Ohhh imagine a SC map that could delete itself
not the map, the editor

Symmetry -- I vaguely remember Voy doing some ACE back in the day, but I had no idea EUDs could do that kind of shit. I am very much catching up on the technology

Symmetry shouted: NudeRaider Is EUD editor capable of writing shit onto the player's harddrive? That seems like it would be dangerous
yeah an editor that isn't allowed to write files sounds rather pointless, so I'd assume it can. Like most other programs too btw. and yes, obviously that's dangerous, but also kinda necessary. MS introduced that virtualization for exactly that reason.

Ultraviolet -- I don't think so. I think they shut that shit down after 1.16, maybe even earlier
