This makes me laugh really. I am a boy scout and have worked for the boy scouts. And to really get a good open source project off the ground would take WAY to long than would be acceptable for the guys who run the scouts.
Plus then there comes the issue distribution. I know that if the software became big and good the Boy Scouts would try and find a way to keep others from using it for free.
Drupple should be just fine for them.
That space hole is nothing really. I mean what is the worst that can happen? I mean it is over a billion light years away. If they want something interesting I will tear the universe a new space hole right next to earth. THEN we can care about it.
Wow I was unaware of how bad the ESRB makes things for companies. Honestly what is wrong with them? I mean you can have 5,000 burn to death with a rating of T but you have a little blood spatter on one person and you get an M?
My question who came up with these ideas? What is suitable for one age group and not another? I mean a rating system is needed, to inform parents... I guess. But we need to advance to a more modern time with the guidlines. Honestly lets pretend it is the 21st century not the 1950s
Indeed we are, really all it takes is some person saying "Why should I have to pay for this?" to begin down the path "HOLY CRAP SOMEONE IS STEALING and since this can be used to steal that must be everyones primary objective".
I am not to suprised by this study. Most people are just dumb and are like "OOOO it looks like real life"
Gaming is out to the masses it is no longer the hobby of us geeks T_T it is very sad.
Which is all fine and good if the chip is indeed used for that. But what is to stop my friend from getting a mod-chip and borrowing my backups? I guess a good question is what separates a backup from a copy, aside from a word?
True, when you scratch into the physical data the disc can no longer be saved. At that point I wonder, what is stopping you from destroying the back up?
Yeah it is annoying, but what is to stop me from shipping in my PS2 to get modded? Either way I know the temptation to just "Make a Backup" of another persons games is to very tempting for most.
you know what might help? If sony made Backup discs. You know DVD-Rs that have the special Sony security on it.
People who have kids are not allowed to have fun because they have reproduced. And decent Disc buffing systems are not that expensive. Generally the fluid costs about 10 cents a disc.

This is a most amusing article
Oops indeed, well it could have been worse. There could have been a mechanical failure or an accident or something like that.
Why does Europe always get all the good and bad ideas that sony has first?

Cool... now if I only had the money to buy this harddrive I would be set.

Yes this is something I know. It is not that they do not have legitiment uses. It is that they are used for illegal uses as well.

Why not pass on that same attitude towards the US huh? We all want to pirate Windows Vista

You know backing up is all great and wonderful. But in the end without some trick you cannot play the disc.
Why not invest a couple hundred dollars into a disc buffing system? Honestly there would be no need to keep backups if you kept your discs clean.
