Big deal - federal authority vs state authority is just a question of style. The state government of California is probably more remote from the average Californian citizen than the British government is from the average British citizen.

Oh, so hang on... Dix has just backed up my thoughts that in some places it's illegal to take any kind of rake yes?

Oh, so yeh, you're condoning illegal activities eh? That's interesting...

Hehe only kidding, it's all good. But yeh, please don't start talking about stuff before you've really looked at it. Laws arn't the same everywhere and there's some strange laws regarding gaming.

Oh it's all gone quiet! Was using this as an escape from work - reading everyone's posts and trying to keep up this myth of my empty wallet and hiding in a corner cause I'm scared of the police.

Ah I guess the fun's over...

Hehe no, not a fight at all. All the people here are cool, nice to have a bit of friendly banter on forums.

I've now submitted a complaint to the people at SourceForge because I truly believe Matt Galloway has decompiled my code, circumvented my license agreement and is using my code as a basis for his open source project.

In other words, stealing.

I have NOT decompiled your code Dr Neau.

There isn't even any source code on sourceforge for my PokerTM.

Please don't make libelous comment about me.

So, in the end, some clown stole from me and has been giving my passwords out for the last year...coincidentally it was about the same time my revenue leveled off.

Right now, I feel like shitcanning v3 and quitting.

Dr Neau,

Please don't make this stop your hard work.

I've tried to explain to you the issues here, and I agree that I should really have emailed you when I found the information I described to you. I didn't email you because I felt I was treated badly on these forums, and the emails you've recently been sending me havn't exactly been the nicest of words.

I really hope you carry on with this as it is good software - perhaps you need to up the security a bit. If you will accept my apologies then I would be happy to help you out any way I can. I'm no good with Java, but I have strong programming background.

Do you see that your software is wanted by a huge majority of home game organisers?

Sorry that you're not feeling good about the software now, but I'm sure everyone on the forums here would agree with me that it is indeed good software.

Matt

After reading the above (and noticing the links went dead pretty quick) only one word comes to mind....

PATHETIC!!!!

I'm sure others will repeat my stance that the software is most reasonably priced for what you get. As a host of a poker league there are certain costs involved (snacks for instance) that I accept and welcome as part of that hosting. The miniscule cost per game for the software doesn't even compare to ONE packet of chips to put on the table for the boys. The small cost of the software is more than made up by the help in organising, running and presenting a professional looking tournament and league for my players.

Keep up the great work Doc.

An extremely happy customer!

Yeh, I took that link off because I wanted to show Dr Neau I'm trying to help him. I honestly did NOT do any cracking.

Look, people there posting actual passwords and posting that they know how to crack the code. I didn't actually say I know how to crack it (because I don't). But I will agree that it was silly to say there is a way to do it.

Look guys, I've tried to point Dr Neau in the direction of that link showing the people who actually crack the code, but please try to see it's not me who did any dirty work...

Dix · Posted: Sun Nov 19, 2006 4:44 am Post subject:

Well... from the looks of things you have used these illegally published passwords and used the software to run a tourneys that were larger then allowed by free use... and it wasn't until you got caught at it that you offered all this stuff up... had you not gotten caught at it you'd likely still be doing it.

While most of the rest of us would have e-mailed Doc with the offending site's info about as fast as we could get to our e-mail clients.

Whether you cracked the software yourself or used an illegally published password makes no difference... either way you illegally using something you did not pay for... something which someone else owns the rights to, put the work into, and did not authorize you to use.

One of my favorite pieces of BS out of you was how great in your opinion it would be for Doc if he made TM "open source".

Great for you... but no one with more than two active brain cells to rub together to going to believe that would be good for Doc.

You know.... In The Opinon of Marx, Lenin, Stalin, Mao, Castro, Khrushchev, & Kim Jong-il, Communism is a great thing too.... and you'd likely think so too... similar theme... you want others to do the work and you to be able to reap the benefit of their hard work... for nothing.

Here is a screenshot of my software versus Dr Neau's. As you can see, the layout is slightly similar because I modelled some of Neau's good UI ideas, however I'm going for a different approach and going to have the ability to load and save different parts of the tournament, i.e. the chip case is an object itself which you can load into each tourney separately (so you might have 2 different cases and want to sometimes use one, sometimes the other - in my software you'll have 2 "chip-case files" and load the one you want).

I'm posting this comparison just to put your mind at rest Dr Neau that I DID NOT decompile your code. If you want I'll ship you over my code for this concept idea and you can compare. (For a start mine is in C++!)

Dix:

Look, I was emailed a password which I now don't have the email (and thus don't have the name of the person who sent me it) as I'm not using the software. I never had to accept any license agreement (EULA) to use the software. (By the way, I didn't use that site I mentioned before - I just found it to point out to the Doc that people are cracking his code)

Please everyone stop getting angry with me as it's not me who you should be angry with but the people going round giving out the passwords.

I fully agree I should have told Dr Neau earlier - I cannot say anything more but that I'm sorry about that, but I am now trying to make that right by helping out the Doc.

Once again I'm getting flamed on these forums which was the reason in the first place that I was sent the email...
