Then there's the changing pattern of hardware. An ever-declining piece of hardware in portable computers (notebooks, ultrabooks, etc.) is the optical (CD/DVD) drive. Moving parts mean extra weight and battery drain, so it makes sense. However, it means that to install a game from disc, you'll need an external optical reader. You don't want to carry this around with you either, which means a no-CD crack is required for on-the-go gaming.
It usually involves first installing the game, them looking for a registry entry, DLL (domain-link library), executable crack file, or a replacement EXE for the original game, or a combination of any of these. The new files are then added to the game directory on the hard disk drive (if any are duplicating existing files, these should be backed up) in order to make the game run without the disc.

Once upon a time, finding No-CD cracks was a dangerous pastime. Online resources were full of NSFW ads, popups and malware risks. Fortunately, things have been tidied up somewhat as trends have developed. While there is scant use for no-CD cracks on modern games, some sites still offer them for older games.
Patches, fixes, trainers (offering unlimited health/ammo/etc) and No-CD/No-DVD cracks are available here, although the focus has shifted in recent years to trainers. A useful search tool on the right, however, will let you browse the site for older games available on optical disc, and any associated No-CD patches and EXEs.
What do you think? Is this a good development, or does it strip games of their cultural importance when physical art cannot be admired as part of the experience? Do you use No-CD cracks, or have you abandoned them for Steam and other solutions? Tell us in the comments.
DVB (DVB-CPCM) is an updated variant of the broadcast flag. The technical specification was submitted to European governments in March 2007. As with much DRM, the CPCM system is intended to control use of copyrighted material by the end-user, at the direction of the copyright holder. According to Ren Bucholz of the Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF), "You won't even know ahead of time whether and how you will be able to record and make use of particular programs or devices".[37] The normative sections were approved for publication by the DVB Steering Board, and formalized by ETSI as a formal European Standard (TS 102 825-X) where X refers to the Part number. Nobody has yet stepped forward to provide a Compliance and Robustness regime for the standard, so it is not presently possible to fully implement a system, as no supplier of device certificates has emerged.
In January 2007, EMI stopped publishing audio CDs with DRM, stating that "the costs of DRM do not measure up to the results."[40] In March, Musicload.de, one of Europe's largest internet music retailers, announced their position strongly against DRM. In an open letter, Musicload stated that three out of every four calls to their customer support phone service are as a result of consumer frustration with DRM.[41]
Apple Inc. made music DRM-free after April 2007[42] and labeled all music as "DRM-Free" after 2008.[43] Other works sold on iTunes such as apps, audiobooks, movies, and TV shows are protected by DRM.[44]
Ubisoft formally announced a return to online authentication on 9 February 2010, through its Uplay online game platform, starting with Silent Hunter 5, The Settlers 7, and Assassin's Creed II.[64] Silent Hunter 5 was first reported to have been compromised within 24 hours of release,[65] but users of the cracked version soon found out that only early parts of the game were playable.[66] The Uplay system works by having the installed game on the local PCs incomplete and then continuously downloading parts of the game code from Ubisoft's servers as the game progresses.[67] It was more than a month after the PC release in the first week of April that software was released that could bypass Ubisoft's DRM in Assassin's Creed II. The software did this by emulating a Ubisoft server for the game. Later that month, a real crack was released that was able to remove the connection requirement altogether.[68][69]
A product key, typically an alphanumerical string, can represent a license to a particular copy of software. During the installation process or software launch, the user is asked to enter the key; if the key is valid (typically via internal algorithms), the key is accepted, and the user can continue. Product keys can be combined with other DRM practices (such as online "activation"), to prevent cracking the software to run without a product key, or using a keygen to generate acceptable keys.
The Norwegian consumer rights organization "Forbrukerrådet" complained to Apple in 2007 about the company's use of DRM, accusing it of unlawfully restricting users' access to their music and videos, and of using EULAs that conflict with Norwegian consumer legislation. The complaint was supported by consumers' ombudsmen in Sweden and Denmark, and was reviewed in the EU in 2014. The United States Federal Trade Commission held hearings in March 2009, to review disclosure of DRM limitations to customers' use of media products.[130]
At the 2012 Game Developers Conference, the CEO of CD Projekt Red, Marcin Iwinski, announced that the company would not use DRM. Iwinski stated of DRM, "It's just over-complicating things...the game....is cracked in two hours." Iwinski added "DRM does not protect your game. If there are examples that it does, then people maybe should consider it, but then there are complications with legit users."[132]
Développé par Macrovision et C-Dilla, SafeDisc ajoutait une signature unique sur chaque support physique. Lors de l'installation du jeu, un driver était alors installé qui permettait d'accéder à cette signature pour en vérifier la présence et l'authenticité, et d'autoriser l'exécution du jeu. Mais en 2007, Microsoft a découvert qu'une faille de SafeDisc permettait une "escalade des privilèges" (donnant la possibilité d'exécuter des scripts avec les droits administrateur), obligeant l'éditeur à publier un patch pour Windows XP et à l'intégrer dans les différentes versions successives de Windows, jusqu'à Windows 10.
Ceux qui possèdent de vieilles boîtes de jeux et veulent continuer à en profiter devront trouver un crack no-CD sur Internet, ou télécharger une version légale de leur jeu (en payant une seconde fois), par exemple sur la plateforme GOG.com qui ne propose que des jeux sans DRM.
My symptoms were lack of appetite, loss of usual energy, difficulty breathing, very tender abdomen and what I thought was IBS. A nurse PA had done my yearly physical July 2007 and dismissed my suggestion of a colonoscopy because I had one two years previously. When my regular physician saw my BMP he called and suggested a GB scan as my SGOT AND SGPT were elevated about 20 points. The GB scan let to CXR, Thoracentesis, CT scan, ovarian cancer staging surgery, and chemo. I received Taxol and Carboplatin every three weeks for six treatments, finishing on January 31, 2008. My CA 125 went from 427 to 6.4. In June of 2008 I was back feeling well and enjoying life.In November of 2009 my Ca 125 gradually started rising. As of May 28, 2010 it is 47. For the most part I feel well. My PET scan of July 1, 2010 show an enlarged lymph node compatible with recurrent neoplastic disease. There is a ventral hernia containing a knuckle of small bowel but chest and abdomen is negative of additional neoplastic disease.
I first want to say how glad I am that I found this website. The stories have been an inspiration and they fill me with such hope. In March 2008 my mother age 64 began losing weight and her hands were swelled. She had been diagnosed with irritable bowel syndrome years earlier. Her and my father were under extreme stress and depression. They were on the verge of losing their home of 30 years and their business of 40 years because of the bad economy. I am the 2nd eldest daughter and me and my older sister thought the tiredness and weightloss were all part of her life situation. She went to the doctors for her hands in December 2007 and they told her to take ibuprofren. Finally in May 2008 she was sent to a arthritis specialist who gave her a lung x-ray because he suspected a deadly auto-immune disease that turns your body to stone. We were terrified but not as much as when they found a mass on the x-ray in her abdomen. We were lucky she was only 5'2 and it showed up. Immediate hysterectomy with debulking. she was 3C. After operation first question out of my mouth was How many years has a patient of yours with the same stage of ovarian cancer survived? He answered 22 years I have clung to those words since Six months of cheomo up in Jan 2009. CA-125 at 6. It is now October 2009 and her CA-125 is creeping up first 25 now 67. We have cat-scan on Wednesday then go from there. My mother had not been to a gynecologist in 5 years since hers moved to Florida. She had been to every other doctor for high blood pressure to cholesterol. Why was CA-125 not standard? I am scared but hopeful. I always come back to this website I want survival stories from all you brave, courageous and inspiring women. Thank You!
I am deeply sorry for the two young girls who lost their mothers at an early age from ovarian cancer. I lost my mother as I was celebrating my 13th birthday with my sister for her 10th birthday. And strangely enough, all these years I thought she died of ovarian cancer, but it turns out that's what they initially thought it was--it was sarcoma of the ileum. So, my heart goes out to any of you, especially the very young, who have lost your mother. I truly understand what you're going through and wish I could give you a big hug. I still believe my mother (who would be 76 today) is looking down from heaven, as she always has, and as your mothers must be, too. (My mother died at age 34).So I wasn't surprised to find out I had ovarian cancer, but more surprised to find out that wasn't what she died of. What irony!I discovered it myself, February 2007, and my internist did all the right tests, each one becoming more certain that it was true. We live in a rural area, so I located the nearest Cancer Center of Excellence, which happened to be Johns Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore. It's a 2-hour one way trip, but absolutely worth it.Of course, I had the total hysterectomy, and everything else out. Then the six rounds of chemo. Boy, did I know squat about that! The exhaustion towards the last half was the hardest thing for me. and then I expected recovery to be a cinch--HA! The great thing, of course, is that I've been "no evidence of disease," or, as I tell my famiy and friends, cancer-free, for 15 months. They don't like to know and don't seem to really grasp, except for my husband, that the recurrence rate is really high. Or they toss the idea out of their mind (that's my daughter), or, like my son, am sure I've beaten it.I do believe I'll live to be 85 or 95. 2ff7e9595c
