Reverse engineering

Read a random definition: answer

A quick definition of Reverse engineering:

Reverse engineering is a way of figuring out how something works by taking it apart and looking at its pieces. People use reverse engineering to make new things or to fix things that are broken. Sometimes, people use reverse engineering to copy something that someone else made, which can be good or bad. It's okay to use reverse engineering to learn how something works, but it's not okay to use it to copy something that someone else made if they have a patent on it. Reverse engineering is often used for machines and software, but it can be used for other things too.

A more thorough explanation:

Reverse engineering is a process of figuring out how something works by taking it apart and examining its components. This method is often used in machine development, software maintenance, and other areas.

For example, if a company wants to create a product similar to a competitor's, they may use reverse engineering to analyze the competitor's product and figure out how it was made. Similarly, attackers may use reverse engineering to find weaknesses in software and create malware.

Reverse engineering is generally legal, but it can be used for both beneficial and harmful purposes. In trade secret law, reverse engineering is considered an allowed method to discover a trade secret. However, in patent law, reverse engineering is not a defense because the patent owner has exclusive rights to use, own, or develop the patent.

My berkeley paragraph finally disappeared. I definitely think it is just an indicator that they are actively reviewing files, and does not mean anything about A, WL, or Rs

UMN under review! As predicted, decisions are gonna come out early December
Minus those random R decisions from UMN yesterday though right? I wonder what happened there. I don’t think I’ve seen a school start the season out with anything but As on here
almost all of my apps have been UR for 6 weeks at this point I feel exhausted waiting for them to finish
Irvine is being snobby and wont start any review until end of Nov.
Yeah, it’s tough. I’m distracting myself by playing good video games after work :)
im distracting myself by schizo-scrolling r/lawschoolamissions and every conceivable data point on this godforsaken website
it is not working
Haaa I naturally want to do that too. I’m trying to stop. They need a surgeon general’s warning on this site for perspective law students
i spend more time on here then anything else trying to rationalize that the waves from last year will match waves for this year (they won't) and that the stats of people with the same stats are indicative of my own (they aren't)
There aren't many people in my stat range so I pretty much know every result in my range after being on here for a few years

I mean if Fordham doesn't release today I will purposefully get on a train, go to new york, and then take the stinkiest shit inside the admission office's toilet (potentially clogging it and forcing them to get a plumber)
