I just fixed my software by altering it's code! Ask me anything!

I'm a genius! Keep in mind, I know NOTHING about programing!!! (The last time I programed anything was BASICA in 6th grade.)

This software was malfunctioning and I got tired of waiting on hold for tech-support. :argh:

soooooo....:

I downloaded the PHP interface operator, cracked open the source code and started tinkering with it.

It works! I fixed it!!! I'm a super-geeeeeeenius! Yeay me!!!!!!

Hey Elad... I'm comming for your job dude!!!!

3. I tried everything!

I sacrificed several small woodland creatures to the computer Gods, I read all the technical manuals, I kept calling tech-support, I tried bribing my computer with promises of memory upgrades. Nothing worked!!!

The thing has been down all week. But now it works!

4. It's easy.

You just change the functional requirements to match the displayed behavior. Works every time.

5. Hex editors are really fun

I changed the "Netscape" window label to read "Nutscrap". I've also altered time expirable beta software to work past it's hard coded lifespan.

In the old days it was really fun to use hex editors to alter game graphics. Pointless, but fun. :D

6. Used 'em on my old C-64

Never grew tired of putting my name on the credits screen. :)

7. I used to modify WordPerfect . . .

So it showed something like "Eric's Word Processor" or something goofy like that. I was young, it was stupid :) :) :)
