GET THIS THROUGH YOUR HEAD:
IT IS WHAT THE CORPORATE WORLD THINKS AND WHAT THE AV COMPANIES THINK. NOT WHAT YOU THINK.
Keep repeating that over and over. Anytime you think of one of your arguments that you just said, repeat this to yourself: IT IS WHAT THE CORPORATE WORLD THINKS AND WHAT THE AV COMPANIES THINK. NOT WHAT YOU THINK.
Volly: I respectfully withdraw my comment earlier about what I considered your level of intelligence was/is. Macroing is not botting.
Well according to the AV companies it is. I know this for I did the work. And for the matter of this discussion (which YOU hi-jacked by the way) it is all that matters here which that pertains to AHK's reputation. Not your hypritical opinion.
You
have no clue as to the level of automation my scripts provide yet you make wild assumptions about my intentions while I'm playing games.
You have no idea how much of a hyprocrit you are. You complain about me hijacking a thread - nope - YOU DID. I was talking about the reasons why enterprises do not use AHK. You talk about yourself and how you defend cheating while at the same time trying to attack me. Again - hypritical speak from you.
You group automation, macroing and botting all into the same category with hacking, (your use of the term not mine) and then disparage the activity based on a false and grossly inaccurate clumping strategy.
No, I define hacking as trying to make a program or activity to do something that is not the intent of the designers of said program or activity. That is a correct statement. You equate bot as a program that runs things unattended. You then say macros as not botting. You are trying to split hairs to justify your hypritical argument.
That is one of several definitions and if you understood a dictionary - (apparently you don't) then you would find that MANY words have multiple definitions. So, now that you know this you can stop calling something wrong out of ignorance.
Again - it is what the corporate world thinks and what AV companies thinks, NOT YOU.
Then you make wild and unsubstantiated statements about whether or not security ("security?") has any clue as to the range of applications that this language can provide to support rapid prototyping and quick fix solutions to common everyday computer problems that businesses and their employees encounter during the work day.
You compleatly FAIL in understanding how IT security works. You are so in the weeds of your little language that you have no concept of the big picture when it comes to security. How sad for you.
Your sniff test needs a new and more reliable nose, Volly. You might just as well outlaw Python, awk, lua, ruby for daily use and yes every other scripting language that has ever been used to automate anything to do with a game.
The sniff test as you describe has something in it that you KEEP MISSING. You have only 2 sites deticated to AHK. This one and the Org site. Nothing else. It is small, narrow minded, not to mention an admin who is AWOL and lets hyprocrits like you run the place and trash AHKs reputation.
Other languages like Python for example have MANY support sites. Many of these support sites do NOT support gaming. Python is cross checked by different communities. Not AHK.
Even the U.S. government and the military has validated the need for games and simulations for various skill enhancements.
But would they use AHK - I have not found that anywhere in a official documentation where the military santioned it. Have you? If you did you would have posted it.
I gave you an insight into one gamer's cheaters rationale for macroing some activities in a game.
Correction - you tried to defend cheating while at the same time rationalize the good of the language for business and how safe it is. You can't have both and expect the enterprise world to like it. Why you expect that is beyond me.
And worse you question my integrity simply on the basis of an honest response to a post you made. Not appreciated. Not accepted. Not respectful. You deserve no further insights from me.
I didn't question your interegy. I pointed out what you did and your behavior. You got caught and now you are upset at me for getting called on acting hypritical? REALLY? Look in the mirror.
This is just too much.
edit: I will say this about tidbit - he is honest and he owns the truth and doesn't hide behind hypritical arguments.
Stop asking for fish.
Ask to learn how to fish instead. You will never go hungry again...
