Sony Delays PlayStation Network Reactivation

i4u writes "Earlier this week chatter in an IRC network led to speculation of a third attack on Sony's network. For its part, the company steadfastly promised that at least some services would resume by the end of this week. But now it looks like Sony has given up on that goal. The PSN reactivation has been delayed. Sony's explanation? They were 'unaware' of the extent of the attacks on their system."

I don't care.

Iâ(TM)m sorry, but I really donâ(TM)t have time for this. In the fucking WEEKS since my Play Station became worthless, me and my cute Emo boyfriends have been strutting around in our Speed Racer briefs sporting awesome erections, and now weâ(TM)re just too hot and bothered to care about Sony.

I've seen hamsters escape.
I've seen chips use tools at the zoo.

Don't degrade them by lumping them in with Sony Security.

Yay, let's take revenge on the removal of OtherOS by removing the remaining features from our PlayStations, and those of all our friends! Pissing off the gaming community is sure to garner their support and goodwill!

I know what's holding everything up.

They're having problems re-sorting all their credit card data stored on the admin's desktop by penis again. They must not have taken a screenshot.

This could take ages.

Look at what they're doing here:

      - completely rearchitecting their security and network

      - completely reimplementing their security and network

      - physically moving the servers

      - redeploying this worldwide

You forgot:

* deploying mirrorshades razorgirls to the BAMA Sprawl to hunt the console cowboys who cracked their ICE
* impersonating the Eastern Seaboard Fission Authority
* burning Chrome

I love living in the squalid cyberfuture.

Judging from the graphics on their website, the real problem is that somebody poured Coca-Cola in their servers.

I always figured 3 chimps and a hamster were far more likely to randomly type out some Perl than they would Shakespeare.
