This article might have some credibility if McGraw had the slightest clue what Warden actually did.

Backgammon and Spades
I want to know if there are any programs for Backgammon and Spades as I believe that I have been cheated so many times by players while playing these games.
Backgammon and Spades
Yes for Backgammon (not sure about Spades), there are programs developed by neural networks that play as good or better than the best humans (championship level players).
One of them is free, there is a tutorial on how to get and use it at this link on our site:

Well I play online
Well I play online backgammon for tree years now and I haven't met such incidents. I think online championships are serious matters and cheating is out of question.

"Greg has had many characters banned"
Says it all really, the system is obviously not working because people are getting banned for botting...
Oh hang on.. = \
A quick glance at any of the common bot forums (WoW glider for example, http://www.mmoglider.com/Default.aspx?LS=55277) have pages of people with banned characters for botting tasks as simple as fishing.
And while Warden might not be the be all and end all, people like me reporting botters are getting these lame idiots out of the game (or at the very least getting them to buy another copy of WoW)
Then your an idiot, A real
Then your an idiot, A real botting system can never work with one release.
An ever expanding game such as WoW is constantly updated, new methods of detection ect ect.
Then again, the writer of this book should like a complete moron who has just found out about the internet and is suddenly an expert.
Hey, it worked for Al Gore.
Hey, it worked for Al Gore. After all, he invented the Internet.
Hey dumbass....
Gore never said he invented the internet.

You've been spun.
He was, though, instrumental in helping to bring the internet to the general public.
instrumental
instrumental how? I had local ISP in '95. Gore probably was still using photostats back then.
Then why do routing
Then why do routing protocols use "Al Gore Rhythms"?

This article doesn't quite get everything right. For much more information on the Warden and on the Governor (a program Hoglund wrote to monitor the Warden) see the book. We have code for the governor in chapter 2.
The book is deeply technical and includes botting systems from the very basic (built on ACTool) to much more complex (bots that act as debuggers by attaching to the process). There are also bots that exist as kernel modules using rootkit techniques, but we did not include those in the book.
