You all know R1CH, one of our great TL wizards. Among his peers (Sonuvbob, MasterOfChaos, Zatic, etc) he is well understood. But among the "mortals" who do not know much "magic," he constantly confuses and awes us, like a solar eclipse we cannot understand.
Here are some R1CH quotes that help explain how we see him. Famousness Test
[18:59] HotBid: is this company famous? [19:00] R1CH: never heard of them [19:00] HotBid: but they have their own wiki page... [19:00] R1CH: so does every pokemon
[09:15] HotBid: microsoft security essentials is failing to update, did you update it yet [09:15] R1CH: i don't use it [09:15] HotBid: what anti virus do you use [09:15] R1CH: none [09:15] HotBid: how do you stop viruses and stuff [09:16] R1CH: i don't get viruses [09:16] Heyoka: he clearly goes into the computer and fights them himself [09:16] HotBid: lol he shoots it with a gun [09:16] R1CH: it's funny you say that [09:16] R1CH: i actually made a quake 2 mod
[R1CH loads a Quake 2 map. HotBid plays.]
[09:16] R1CH: come on, you're dying to notepad [09:17] HotBid: that's notepad? wtf is that flying thing behind it [09:17] R1CH: firefox [09:17] Heyoka: why is it so large [09:17] R1CH: it uses more memory [09:17] Heyoka: this is what's running right now? what happens when you kill one [09:18] R1CH: the program closes [09:18] R1CH: oh look, msn killed google update [09:18] R1CH: one of the monsters is quake 2 so if you kill it the game just ends
The troll apprentice is becoming the troll master
[03:00] HotBid: what's anti-aliasing? [03:00] R1CH: you use photoshop and you don't know what anti-aliasing is? [03:00] HotBid: no [03:00] R1CH: imagine aliasing -- its the opposite of that
Yes, we actually check the support email.
[12:47] R1CH: got fed up with this fucking india spam in the support box [12:47] R1CH: from now on everyone from india will have to answer a captcha before submitting contact form [12:47] R1CH: http://www.teamliquid.net/staff/R1CH/CAPTCHA.png
Don't mess with R1CH's image formats
[03:34] R1CH: make it a PNG scrub [03:34] HotBid: what's a PNG scrub [03:35] R1CH: no i am calling you a scrub for using jpeg [03:35] R1CH: man im gonna slap you if you make any more jpegs
Speaking in R1CH
Recently, every time R1CH says something technical, my response has been to immediately Google the subject and ask a highly technical question about it, usually one I completely do not understand.
[17:26] R1CH: the performance is kind of shitty so try to use it sparingly [17:26] R1CH: mysql refuses to do an index merge [17:26] R1CH: and i don't feel like adding a whole new index just for this feature [17:26] R1CH: if we open it up to users though i will [17:27] HotBid: well maybe the binary or one of the libraries linked was misconfigured or corrupt? [17:27] HotBid: do a backtrace [17:28] R1CH: you just googled some random mysql bug didn't you [17:29] HotBid: ?
[22:40] R1CH: man [22:40] R1CH: this SSD is ridiculously fast [22:40] R1CH: it installed all the win7 updates in like 10 seconds [22:41] Kennigit: sick, how big is it [22:41] R1CH: 160 [22:42] HotBid: r1ch have you tried modding your SSD by replacing it with a pata hd using the same ZIF connector [22:42] R1CH: im gonna slap you if you keep trying that [22:42] HotBid: ?
Ban Everyone
[12:15] @R1CH: i optimized the shit out of TL over the last few months [12:15] @R1CH: without it im sure the flood of beta shit would be like how TL was during TSL 1 casts [12:15] @R1CH: i almost want to undo it [12:15] @R1CH: just so people stop flooding stupid shit [12:16] @R1CH: we really need to implement that posts per day for new users thing [12:16] @The-Winner: or a bot which bans shitty posters [12:17] @R1CH: i tried that [12:17] @R1CH: it classified everyone as a shitty poster [12:17] @R1CH: its like santa from futurama
HotBid: r1ch HotBid: any thoughts about the antihack program? R1CH: not yet HotBid: its not a rush yet HotBid: but itd be nice to have some info about it for when we launch R1CH: when do we need it by HotBid: we need it by qualifiers, which is april 22 R1CH: oh just say we'll have it R1CH: you know i'll wizard that shit up HotBid: HAHAHA
The Wizard Who Cried Wolf
R1CH: fuck this is horrible R1CH: im dripping sweat SonuvBob: ? HotBid: why? Daigomi: what happened?

The Universe Shoots You
R1CH: well until the stream is posted, connections don't flood in R1CH: and its not so much an issue of volume MasterOfChaos: the current cause of crash was somebody disconnecting the wrong way MasterOfChaos: we could have the stream go live at 10 min before scheduled time showing the waiting screen R1CH: as MoC said it was my forgetting to handle sigpipe that crashed it intrigue: somebody disconnecting the wrong way can crash it? intrigue: haha R1CH: intrigue, thanks to the wonders of posix, yes R1CH: i wonder what idiot came up with that idea HotBid: how can they "disconect" wrong HotBid: that makes no sense R1CH: its a posix thing HotBid: ok you speak of posix like i know what it means R1CH: when you try to write to a disconnected socket, your program receives a pipe signal R1CH: which if you don't handle, causes it to exit HotBid: ok im just going to pretend i know HotBid: what htat means MasterOfChaos: never really got the reason why signals work that way intrigue: can you make a real life analogy intrigue: so like if u go through a drivethrough intrigue: and you take your food intrigue: and don't pay intrigue: and drive away intrigue: the restaurant explodes? MasterOfChaos: somebody you are talking to disappears mid sentence, and the universe shoots you MasterOfChaos: because you talked to somebody who wasn't there MasterOfChaos: and R1CH forgot the bullet proof helmet R1CH: thats surprisingly accurate
R1CH Made Bad
[5:04] R1CH: oh fuck i screwed up the code [5:04] HotBid: ? [5:04] R1CH: it only records half the key on the server [5:04] HotBid: i dont get what that means [5:04] R1CH: i can fix its just a bit bad [5:05] R1CH: the key is 40 letters long [5:05] R1CH: but only 20 got saved in the db [5:05] HotBid: again, no idea what that means lol [5:05] R1CH: r1ch made bad r1ch fix now [5:05] HotBid: nice ok [5:05] R1CH: k fixed
R1CH Forgot
Heyoka: r1ch had auto ops in the sa bw channel for a year and a half before someone realized he hadn't HotBid: r1ch’s program for checking Ips and rankings HotBid: was running for 1.5 years since TSL1, he forgot to turn it off R1CH: it only ran once an hour R1CH: for 400 days
So what the hell is the difference between these two connections .
Not too bad
Not too bad, mainly just look through the input for any illegal ascii, then filter out any symbols or other characters that pokenum never uses and finally verify that its starting in one of the holdem/omaha/etc/modes and make sure the limit on monte carlo won't kill the server
the final shell command is escaped so there is zero chance of them using it to run other programs the only thing its vulnerable to now would be bugs in the pokenum program
R1CH's First Day at Work
Nazgul: rich first day at work Nazgul: im in a convo with him + meat Nazgul: its like reading a detective book where half of the words are gibberish
Nazgul: im on teamviewer looking at what rich is doing haha Nazgul: and its supercool Nazgul: he has 1 monitor and his taskbar has 40 things open me: haha me: yeah he posted this screenshot with like 80 irc windows open me: i was like WTF Nazgul: rofl me: the task bar was insane i couldnt even read any of the things on it Nazgul: i told him i thought he should get 2-3 monitors atleast Nazgul: but apparently he is “good with one”'
Sent a copy of this to hacks@blizzard, but if you catch anyone in person, direct them to this thread as this seems serious enough to warrant attention:
---------------------
There appears to be a hack circulating in SC:BW where an oversized game name is passed to bnet upon game creation. Bnet does not perform input sanitization on this value before storing it. Bnet then sends this information back to the client when the client is at the join game screen, at which point the oversized game name is added to the join game list box. When the user clicks the entry, the list box text is copied into an unchecked 128 byte buffer and a stack-based buffer overflow occurs.
On a quick glance, the return address looks possibly controllable, meaning with the right length and combination of characters, this could be exploited to execute arbitrary code on the StarCraft client.
Vulnerable code resides in battle.snp @ base + 0x237D0:
As shown here, LB_GETTEXT is used to pull the string out of the listbox into edx. edx points to a stack buffer of 128 bytes. Since the string in the listbox is controlled by the attacker as no bounds checking is done on either the client or the server, a stack-based buffer overflow occurs.
My suggested immediate fix would be to limit the maximum game name / mapname and other user-controlled parameters that the battle.net server will accept as this would not require a client patch. If the user submits to bnet values of greater length than the BW client would normally allow, they can be flagged as malicious and handled accordingly. An additional suggested client-side update in the next patch would validate the game name and other parameters received from battle.net before working with them, to protect the player from 3rd party servers.
I would appreciate being informed of any updates to this issue, as if no action is taken I will make my own unofficial patch to address this bug. Thanks!
Blizzard Fix Your Lag
On December 16 2008 19:18 R1CH wrote: So I finally got around to taking a look at the lag issues in 1.16. Seems someone at Blizzard thought it would be a good idea to throw a 10ms delay into the game loop AND a 5ms delay after processing the Windows message queue. 15ms of delays in a game that previously has 0ms of delays can mess up quite a few things, as evidenced by the problems the early versions of CPU Savior had. For a game with a pro scene like Starcraft, this really should never have made it past QA, if there even was any.
Why 15ms? Who knows. The most you need is 1ms to stop 100% CPU usage, which is what CPU Savior uses. They also added some delays onto the bnet screens (the game loop isn't run on the bnet screen, so the 15ms delays wouldn't work), very similar to the comments I made in the CPU Savior source code - except instead of delaying on infrequently-used parts of the code, there is a 5ms delay on code that is run very often - hence why the bnet screens feel so sluggish.
So what happens now? I could make a patch to fix the lag issues in 1.16, but what would that achieve? Iccup already is remaining on 1.15.3, KeSPA has shunned 1.16 and I would hope Blizzard already realizes what a disaster of a patch 1.16 is. Why are they taking so long to fix what I could do in a few hours? And who is responsible for this mess in the first place?
Last one isn't lag, it's a way of abusing the game name to inject malicious code. Like if you send a close query character to a database, so that the code handling it would think the query is over, and then you used to code to email you everyones usernames and passwords.
r1ch did you make a d2 ilvl checker too, that just ran in like a command prompt box where you would just pick up the item, press something, then tab out and see it on the prompt?

how can you run that many things at once
It's pretty easy, in fact that was an old PC, a Pentium 2.4GHz with 2 GB RAM. A lot of people just never multitask and think that because a program is open it must be slowing down the rest of the system so they are paranoid about closing everything. It's usually only web browsers with pages of flash / javascript open that use any kind of background resources. I have 56 things on my taskbar right now with 0% CPU usage. You are likely to exhaust the desktop heap before running out of RAM, which you can simply adjust in the registry (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/184802).

but... aren't all of those programs using ram just sitting there? how do 56 processes not consume at least a noticeable amount of ram, enough to slow my system down if i have 2gb of ram.
I would much rather have everything running as streamlined as possible
like, i have pretty much the bare minimum of everything running with 8gb of ram and etc, it bothers me almost to think that my machine could run better and im not letting it by leaving 56 things open, not to mention it looks so clustered haha.

It's great that this guy has been getting the appreciation he deserves lately. I can't imagine all the things he's made possible that wouldn't have been otherwise. Thanks, R1CH.

I'm seriously envious of R1CH's abilities. I've always wanted to have the knowledge to be able to make a sweet and obviously well-made D2 bot like that.
Jebus rich is one of those people with his desktop must be a comp sci thing as all my comp sci friends seem to have the worlds oddest organizational skills when it comes to their computer, i like all the multiple instances of d2 there. reminds me when i used 10 guest accounts in altitude and a personal server for fast leveling...
Also I'm surprised there is only warn,delete and user info i'd imagine mani has a mod that has ban, ban all in thread!
I like the analogies, personally i'm more EE then Compsci so all the techo babble r1ch and moc sputes is a hit or miss, modding physical things always seemed easier then the abstract.

although what i care about in a browser is mostly the stuff that happens after the preview release when they start adding in features that i'll use day to day.

Also 160gig ssd must have cost him his left nut.
How big is an average priced ssd?
I'd say the common sold ones are 32 or 64 a 160gig would probably be upwards of 400-500 dollars even for a cheap one. the only worth while mod that i could think of off the top of my head to it would be to change it's controller and cache memory which may not be possible as it depends if it's electrically the same as the stock set up if you even have hopes of doing such a hardcore mod this also assumes it will be possible to implement the same firmware or w.e on the ssd.
Is "speaking to R1CH" and "Banning everyone" new? (Those are effing funny) I don't remember that since I last read this thread. Either way reading this thread is always hilarious hahaha
Added "Upload Image" feature to the post / reply box. Large images will be correctly resized to fit the TL layout and linked to the full size image. Thanks to imgur.com for image hosting!
Can't stress how much easier this makes uploading images on to TL :D Wizard strikes again!

I was laughing so hard at this. Everyone in the computer lab was wondering what was up.
HotBid and R1CH are awesome in completely different ways and yet work so well together. You guys should start back up the weekly TL podcast but have it as R1CH and HotBid discussing site changes. Sorry Chill

I think so. I still use his Server Browser for Tremulous (q3 standalone mod). And... I remember he coded the server qvm for one of my favorite Tremulous Servers back in '06.

Aw my super awesome image got DMCA'd by TL*. That's quite unfortunate.

[17:29] R1CH can you reprogram the teamliquid forum so that the default is that large pictures are automatically resized, and not the other way around [17:29] <@R1CH> i'd rather reprogram the users so they resize images before posting them
Heimatloser was just temp banned for 2 days by JWD.
That account was created on 2009-03-11 02:40:15 and had 583 posts.

R1CH is incredible. He is probably my favourite person on TL. This blog provides all the reasons I'd ever need for such a statement. My personal favourite is the anti-aliasing thing. Had me in stitches for a good 5 minutes after reading it.
edit: we need more quotes from R1CH injected into Pony Tales! Do it =D
This is one of the greatest things I've read all day. I don't understand how it's possible for every single person at TL to be awesome. I think we're about to cause a rip in the time-space continuum.
This is totally random, and I know nothing about CS, but I arbitrarily looked at the bottom of the two different "second connections" (in "why isn't this working"), and I think the difference between the two is that:
The first's (which is broken) "second connection" ends with:
[23:13:03] <R1CH> why the fuck are the LP coins breaking the menu bar [23:13:06] <R1CH> this makes no sense [23:13:12] <R1CH> how is that even related
..some comments later
[23:20:56] <R1CH> there we go [23:21:00] <R1CH> now we can have coins AND a menu bar! [23:21:08] <R1CH> technology continues to amaze me [23:21:09] <Hcorp> hooray! [23:21:11] <micronesia> why were coins messing it up [23:21:30] <R1CH> nginx cached the fd info of the css file since it was not atomically updated and thus truncated the response [23:21:54] <Hcorp> please tell me you meant automatically [23:21:56] <Hcorp> and not atomically [23:22:00] <AresEffort> technology amazes r1ch? i wonder what it does to us lol [23:22:01] <Hcorp> because otherwise what the fuck man [23:22:17] <R1CH> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linearizability#High-level_atomic_operations [23:22:26] <Hcorp> oh god [23:22:33] <Hcorp> keep that shit away from me [23:22:45] <pawem> the influence of HB is too strong on r1ch now
Ichiro's agent Tony Attanasio described his client's status: "When you mail Ichiro something from the States, you only have to use that name on the address and he gets it [in Japan]. He's that big."
When you mail R1CH something from anywhere in the world, you only have to use his name on the address and he gets it. He's that big.
[23:44] <@R1CH> i have a package addressed to "Rich Wizard"
Please update this with more! This is probably the funniest thread on TL. When I first read this I was in class a year ago and I busted out laughing. <3
I would pay to just sit in and listen to the conversations that go on on a day-to-day basis at TL headquarters. Seriously you guys need a livestream of the office online at all times.

Might be even more lucrative than a Liquid` member stream! Seriously!
Lotsa wannabe/amateur coders out there. Plus humor.
Famousness Test [18:59] HotBid: is this company famous? [19:00] R1CH: never heard of them [19:00] HotBid: but they have their own wiki page... [19:00] R1CH: so does every pokemon
Theres too many good quotes in this thread. I feel like every single quote is good enough to have its own thread. Compiling it like this is just too awsome. :D

I was at the TL office working on some VOD uploading code. R1CH comes over and has a look.
"Oh, so this your VOD uploader?" "Yeah it is, what about it?"
R1CH looks at the screen for ten seconds without saying a word. Then turns around and walks away.
I felt so crushed.
I do that with my co-workers, too, though when i say nothing it usually means: "D*mn, i couldn't find anything to complain about in this code." Take his silence as appreciation :p
wow what a genius does any know if blizzard replied back? or hell did the company offered him a job lol.... thank god this guy is on our side...or is he

hahahaha, he used to play descent. Been more than a decade since I touched that game - oh the fun multiplayer, during programming classes. Running it on 4MB ram was fun. Think it worked on 2MB also with some effort, and now I complain about 8 GB not being enough.
Obviously a few people understand him ^^ other fellow accomplished programmers do understand, e.g. MasterofChaos~
Edit: actually it's the opening segment of the OP lol
You all know R1CH, one of our great TL wizards. Among his peers (Sonuvbob, MasterOfChaos, Zatic, etc) he is well understood. But among the "mortals" who do not know much "magic," he constantly confuses and awes us, like a solar eclipse we cannot understand.
This thread is golden. We want more updates!!!!! :D [22:42] HotBid: r1ch have you tried modding your SSD by replacing it with a pata hd using the same ZIF connector [22:42] R1CH: im gonna slap you if you keep trying that [22:42] HotBid: ? LOL.
I made this guide because I see a lot of people misusing image formats on the Internet - gif for photos, jpeg for Windows screencaps, and other inappropriate image format uses. -R1CH
Hmm... did Hot_Bid get to the point where he went 'ahh forget it... I'll never be a wizard like you.' or did R1CH go 'ahh forget it... I'm fed up with trying to explain [insert subject here] to you.' , thus ending their conversations?
Time to awaken, connoisseurs of the awesomeness of R1CH, it's the final hour in LCMAT's Awesomeness tournament, and R1CH is in the grand finals. All you who have read these quotes, be it before and today for the first time, go vote for R1CH to be the most awesome person on TL!

If you're passionate about something and do just pretty much just this thing for (according to Malcolm Gladwell) 10 000 hours on it you become an expert. This is to be taken with a grain of salt but the more you do something and the more you want to learn about something the easier it is.
