""Sony got hacked but what happened was the hacker left them a dirty little surprise that wasn't caught until well after he was force disconnected. Most companies assume that when they shut out the hacker the attack is over and they patch the hole he used to get in. In this case him leaving something behind wasn't caught and by the time its users started reporting being kicked out his dump had started executing and forcing psn networks to stall out. Not only did this hacker steal information but he left something behind that started erasing and duplicating internally on the servers (hence the reports from users claiming that games were acting out right before the service went down entirely). Chances are by the time sony got to it the damage was too great and therefore they had two options 1. Negate all achievements, purchases, etc and deal with the nightmare of it. 2. Export the db tables for each user and rebuild it's network all over again. Keep in mind Sony just hired almost a dozen i.p. specialist and almost just as many security experts after firing a few over the jailbreak psn masking happened. If they can get psn back up in as little as 7 days it'll be a miracle and chances are you will have lost all of your activity for up to 5 days prior to the initial attack". "
This sounds a bit more plausible then any other theory about PSN's outage including AnonOP's attacking Sony.
Personally I am happy to see Sony get raped like it rapes it's customers.
BTW: all of you PSN junkies going through forced detox, you have a few options. Get online with a Wii or Xbox or....
Try this old game called LIFE , it is a hell of a game, comes with a life subscription , completely interactive and has over 6 billion players. No respawn , no cheats unless it is with a partner that isn't your Sig Other. It has no down time unless you end the game. According to myth , the developer hacked it out in 6 days. I would rate it 6 stars out of 5.
1 ) follow open source commit lots 2) patent the idea's there 3) try and figure out WTF they are doing 4a) can't figure it out , sue any one using it. 4b) figured it out , sue anyone using it 5) Collect settlement from innocent users 6) Collect payoff from MPAA/RIAA, Microsoft etc.. for killing open source.
I like the freedom that the PC offers. If I want to run Windows , Linux, BSD and any of it's 31 flavors, Solaris or even MacOS I can. Now before you say I am anti-Apple. I have an old Imac I am converting into a lunchbox computer. But I still like the freedom of my PC in all of it's wonderful quirks and hardware and software choices. Yes I realize that with great computing freedom comes risk, but at times that is the fun of it. I am not in this walled garden clueless as to what is out there.
Jobs and Microsoft have something in common, both are waiting for the death of their biggest competition. For Jobs it is the PC and for Microsoft it is FOSS and Linux.
I recall an Apple Advert that played on several Orwellian themes, Now days it appears that apple was just looking in to future and into a mirror...
The real sad part of this is
a) the shady scrap dealer would get busted and turn you in on a plea deal
b) The idiot that saw the box will get the hero treatment for being a robot and not thinking.
c) The cops will slab themselves on the back and raid the nearest drunkin donuts. err dunkin
and finally
d) the smart ass will get sued for emotional and psychological hardship
oh and one more thing.
f) he will get a dcma charge for circumventing the boot. especially if he used the internet to do it.
g) if they really want to be mean , they will force him use a microsoft product so they can monitor his porn habit.
In a society driven by common sense ( aka a Utopian society)
a) This engineering student would get a spot on late night TV
b) the idiot that screamed bomb would get arrested for inciting a panic.
c) the cops that busted him would be sent to handing out tickets. and walking a beat instead of getting fat and screaming bomb.
* suddenly wakes up* oh.. sorry got lost in a fantasy land.
I have read through these comments and I agree to several points. Being forced to resign in this economy is like being shot at dawn for Jay walking. A resignation in the eyes of the unemployment department is basically saying , Yeah I quit that job. No unemployment for you , they say. Is the guy an idiot for posting a one word comment repeatedly , yes. Is Kurt a douche, Yeppers... Is eating pussy a weird thing to eat, Not in my book and not in the books of many a lesbian. Hell! eating pussy got my nose broken, and yes I am proud of that! Eating pussy may be a weird thing to eat if you are a guy and your boyfriend disapproves. But to everyone else , great he knows cunning linguistics, to some women the question might be , is he any good at it?
Should crude and crass speech be protected by the first amendment. Fuck YES it should. if you disagree , that is your choice and you miss what living in the United States should be about. Being politically correct is for those who is afraid of who is listening and what other people think.
If you don't like what I have said, Mod me down. It only matters if I care.
I can understand the rational for this type of tactic. Women love cute kids and it works like a really good pick up line that doesn't sound cheesy. It is portrayed in movies and T.V shows all the time... The thing I don't agree with is the guy being trashed and driving, thus putting the child's life in danger. Those reasons I can understand why his visitation was revoked,why he was arrested and why he has to now deal with C.P.S. For that the guy deserves the golden douche award. But the sole reason of his arrest was using the child as babe bait... hmm just a bit misleading and sensationalistic....
I'm afraid Mr. Grimmelman has a severe English comprehension deficiency. The instructions are a single sentence, clear as day. It says paste the article text you want to use. Not " paste whatever you like, and if our javascript form counts the words for you then consider it assertion of copyright by us.".
No , Mr. Grimmelman is an incredibly talented smart-ass. Two thumbs up for the quote , another two for exposing the software / programming flaw. I'll even give it another two thumbs up for , in general , creating all of this debate and pissing in somebody's wheaties.
You have an absolutely wonderful day

Not a single word of denial from the government
1 ) follow open source commit lots
2) patent the idea's there
3) try and figure out WTF they are doing
4a) can't figure it out , sue any one using it.
4b) figured it out , sue anyone using it
5) Collect settlement from innocent users
6) Collect payoff from MPAA/RIAA, Microsoft etc.. for killing open source.
get more sex or just lie about it more? The other question is how much is OK Cupid getting paid to promote a iphone from apple?
simple...
... you get the idea...
Send out a security update that renames it to Virus Inviter or Security hole, or Pwned or
Dream on.
