That is just not true. You can not copy the analogue sound of a valve amp with digital.

With the current (last 2 decades + punk) trends of music who cares? On one side we had indie metal and crossover with bands like System of a Down, Korn, Deftones, Nirvana who play heavily distorted. On the other we had faux rock like Nickelback who play three chords without much care.
And I'm naming only rock and metal since pop moved to computer generated music a long time ago, rap/hip hop/whatever use stolen bases and riffs from the beginning and dance/house/club/electronic/whatever uses synthetizers in the best of cases.

Any style of guitar music sounds better through a valve amp

Exactly.
The kind that goes out and buys "consumer oriented" companies for no apparent reason.
Of course, the Feds going after them because the wood was naughty didn't help.

....because for the past 1 or so weeks, i'm being automatically logged out of codeproject randomly!!

Chris would appreciate your help. If you could capture the codeproject cookies for him (the ones marked idtag, vk and lck). Also, try closing the browser and reopening without logging in manually to see if the auto log in kicks in.

The company I work for produces a software utility package for our OEM clients, and the executable must be personalised for each client. Does anyone have recommendations for a software package that can do the following:
- Insert personalised binary information in the application, without requiring recompilation of the application
- Will sign the application after the information is inserted (NICE TO HAVE)
- Works on Windows and Linux (32- and 64-bit) executable formats
The host O/S is immaterial.
Ad astra - both ways!

Looks like someone else tried something similar 7 years ago.
|

I don't know an existing utility. But if you have declared a block of fixed size static memory for your binary data in the application it can be replaced by a simple self written tool that looks for that (using a signature) and overwrites the data in the executable file. Afterwards you can sign the application as required.
|
|
|
|
|
Except for the signing, much like what I did to DOS's command.com file. You simply replace a code block with one of a size less than or equal to the existing block. If it includes items such as strings, you may have to consider that ASCII-Z terminator!
Brings back such nice memories - partly because I was so much younger.

Well done! I was hoping the 'sounds like' bit would carry over into the Fugue - sounds a bit like 'fuge'.
Anyway, well done again .

It did, it's just that normally sounds like isn't applied to the entire clue - nice clue though

I just started the fantastically easy-to-read Idea Man by Paul Allen (co-founder of Microsoft)[^].
I recently read (but only got half-way thru before quitting, Hit Refresh: The Quest to Rediscover Microsoft's Soul and Imagine a Better Future for Everyone by Satya Nadella (Microsoft's current leader)[^]
Allen's book pulls you into the story and makes you think about the possibilities, invention, innovation, starting a business, building something.
Meanwhile, unfortunately, the Nadella book just didn't excite my imagination.
It is interesting that Allen was part of the team who really built the the stuff that built the business and Nadella is just a manager who was placed in the position.
This is very similar to Ballmer v Gates. Microsoft was driven by Gates but Ballmer was just placed in a position to manage a company.
However, I do actually think Nadella is a far better leader than Ballmer.
The contrast of the two books is quite interesting and I'm amazed at how interesting and well-written Idea Man is.
Have you read the two books? Or either?

Nope, did not read those, I'm not reading a lot of books anymore.
The last one I read years ago was "Batavia's Graveyard" by Mike Dash, excellent book, harrrr

First generation creates it,
2nd generation grows it,
3rd generation breaks it.
So in Nad's favour he is filling the 3rd gen role well: Innovation is dead, O/S is dying, H/W dead... watch this space...

That does seem to be the way it works.
