Homebrew Community Blends Gamers and Hackers

MSNBC is running an article on the gaming homebrew community. They examine the 'do it yourself' attitude of the folks that make mods, knockoffs, and emulations possible. From the article: "So lively is the homebrew scene that some PSP fans -- it's impossible to say how many -- say they don't buy or play new games because they don't want to upgrade their gadgets and lose their homebrew software. There's even a circulating joke slogan: 'Friends don't let friends upgrade their PSPs.' Unable to break through recent versions of the Sony software, PSP homebrewers have moved on to another trick: downgrading their PSPs to earlier versions."

    Ten-thousand Freenet User Identities Compromised

    Rucas - Dongs-Hojrup, Denmark

    Early this Afternoon the Gay Nigger Association of America claimed responsibility for the compromising of over 10,000 Freenet user identities. Norwegian correspondant DiKKy explained, "LOL by using a huge Turkish botnet LOL HY HY we were able to create drones on the Freenet network LOL. Using these drones HY HY HY we were able to triangulate, by IP LOL, who was responsible for the introduction of any file on the Freenet network LOL GLUG GLUG GLUG HY."

    After DiKKy collapsed in a pool of his own filth, GNAA Security officer supers made the following statement, "Once we were able to trace which IPs had been uploading child pornography to the network (which in the end turned out to be every host that had ever connected to the network,) we were able to remove every IP controlled by our leader, timecop, from our compiled database and submit the remaining information to the Department of Justice. Fags."

    Arrests are expected to begin within the week.

    Get a life dude. Welcome to the 1900s.

    This is probably an objection from you and no-one else. Who on Slashdot hasn't bought something online yet?

    Feel free to buy a PSP at your local Wal-Mart (we don't have those here in the civilized part of the country, but I imagine they're all over California) on your way to re-electing Arnold as governor. I mean, I live in the most liberal county in America (King's County aka Brooklyn), but even here no one takes California seriously. You guys continue to let yourselves get ass-raped, and all you have to show for it is douchebag "stick-it-to-the-man" consumerist types like yourself.

    I hope for your sake that Austrian cock is extra-tasty,
