This year the opening keynote speaker was Ken Arnold [...] a member of the BSD team at the University of California at Berkeley and developed the curses library.

    i doubt any of these cheat will ever make it to a game hack. hacking is not inherently a bad thing. people learn how things are constructed by hacking and become better at what they do. i think you miss the spirit and the point of the exercise.

    Also, the whole OS X desktop in rendered in OGL (something you wont see anything remotely similar on windows until Longhorn), these hackers are doing more than hacking Quake or some other such nonsense.

    And besides Mac gamers are no where near the lamers PC gamers are.
