Xbox Security Keys Changed
anth writes: "A couple a months ago we discussed some reverse engineering of the Xbox which discovered the security code. The last paragraph of this letter from Nvidia says MS changed the code, and that they had to write off chips with old code as a result."
Ok, I'll bite.
It is immoral to do physical harm to others. Many of us consider guns (most especially handguns) to be nothing more than a device intended to cause physical harm to others. This is immoral.
Police officers carry handguns. In the commission of their duties, they injure, and sometimes kill suspects (like that rapist in California who was about to kill 2 kidnapped girls.) By your definition, would police officers not be immoral?
Some soldiers carry rifles. In the commission of their sworn duty (to defend the country from enemies, foreign and domestic) they kill and injure enemy combatants, under order from their superiors, which go all the way up to the president, who is elected by the american people. By your definition, would not every american citizen thereby share in that "immorality"?
If someone was going to beat the living shit out of me because I was (insert race, sex, religion, or chosen lifestyle here), and I decided to take exception to this by defending myself and doing physical harm to my attacker, would I not be immoral by your definition?
