I'm pretty sure that exit tax is for citizens only. They'll have a hard time tracking down non-citizens and no leverage, except for threatening to revoke the green card and/or restrict entry into the US.
The marriage thing is a very good point.
My situation is very similar, I'm on green card here as well. The only difference is that I actually have valid Russian passport, so can go back there whenever I want.
After careful consideration of my personal situation I have decided to pass on citizenship. At least for now. There are just too few benefits. I don't think I'll get deported, I don't care about voting (electoral college would make my vote in presidential elections a lot less relevant in my state), I don't want to do jury duty, I don't want to pay exit tax should I decide to leave the country.
When they decide to rip me off with taxes (and I already paid millions), I'll just say "thanks, but no thanks" and move to HK or Singapore. :)
Of course SoftICE does not have handy "save to executable" function (or at least it did not have it in the 90s when I last looked at it).
In that case you simply write down binary signatures surrounding your patch, open executable with any hex editor, find those signatures and patch. Then do binary diff, save it into CRK file and distribute.
PS. I wonder why this guy copied EDX into ECX instead of just doing PUSHF...
I for one am happy that geocities is no more. In 1997 I put up a slightly embarrassing personal page there (I was 17 at the time) and then forgot a password. For years every time anyone (e.g. prospective employer) would search for my name they would come across that site. My numerous attempts to contact Yahoo about the password were unsuccessful.
