Xbox 360 Kiosk Demo Spurs Hackers

An anonymous reader writes "Those hackers from team PI have released the Xbox 360 experience kiosk demo disc as an ISO. They say this demo contains no media protection and therefore it will run on the Xbox 360 when burned to a DVD-R disc. The disc contains playable demo's on the disk such as Call of Duty 2, which could also be hackable, as PI speculates."

Okay mods, how can someone correcting themselves in their own post be trolling, yet the original post be marked insightful?

Sure, just like if someone does not lock up their valuables you're free to take all you want.

In reality, if your insurance company finds out you didn't lock your doors or take precautions against theft, they won't write you a check for your loss.

If I could break a rule here about analogies, if I make a juicy delicious steak and and put it out on my table and I leave my door open and my neighbors dog comes in and eats it... Who can I blame for my lost steak?

I could blame the dog, but that is what dogs do... They eat meat, just like a theif steals things. I can't teach the dog not to eat my food because it isn't my dog. I can beat it myself, or call my neighbor and have him punish it, or I can go the extreme and call the pound and have it dragged away.

However I'm still out of a steak because I didn't have my door closed. It doesn't make the dog right, but obviously it benefits you to suck it up and protect yourself and stop using "other people aren't supposed do bad things" as an exscuse to not put forth the effort of protecting yourself.

Guess what? You don't have control over other people when they do bad things. You do have control over yourself and how much of those bad things will affect you. Understanding that will go a long way.
