    Too bad the excellent software he made is now unavailable.

      Maybe someone still in possession of a copy can decompile it, neuter the shutdown code, and open-source the rest?

        It must be harder than it seems, Louis was encouraging people to make their own version last year to no apparent avail. Makes me wonder how the pedophile guy figured it out in the first place.

          Being a good programmer is harder than it seems. Lots of people can code, but many are just script kiddies. Even I consider myself at the lower bounds of what it means to be a software developer - and I don’t consider myself to be knowledgeable in low-level hardware in the least.

          Some people, despite their odious natures, manage to unlock talents and skills that others can only dream of. It’s no different than trying to separate a troublesome artist from their art.
