If the terrorists were going only for body count they'd be using biological or chemical weapons. The thing is nothing is as flashy as getting an airliner knocked out of the sky. Terrorists are all about showmanship, just like our security theater.
And just do the sensible thing and just pirate everything (and then whine unceasingly when shows get canceled for lack of revenue from viewers) or is this a "popular culture is so crass and I'm so sophisticated it hurts, but in a snooty way, not a plebeian way" statement?
Never bought a PS3 and if I did I'd be buying a games console and not something to hack into a linux computer. If I wanted a linux computer there are much better options than a game console.
Once Lord and Savior Geohotz used OtherOS in his first big crack it was inevitable Sony was going to disable it.
And if your debit card is cloned and not lost? You'd probably never notice those charges in the whole two days you get. Two days is pretty short even for physically losing the card if you don't use it all that often.
"Or are *debit* cards and *cash* an incredibly stupid idea? Nothing says "hack/steal my wallet" like turning into a cash machine."
There, fixed that for ya.
(Debit card and cash: once the money is gone, it's gone, bank won't care, it wasn't their money. Credit card: it's not your money in the first place and the credit card company will care because it was their money.)
Wouldn't the Tea Party version be: your street isn't profitable enough for anyone to run a line to because too few people live on the street due to the might-as-well-not-exist road conditions?

It's too bad no one has come up with a legal way of simulcasting subbed anime over the internet.

Unlike The WL, that site isn't in the entertainment biz.
And already have laws covering ownership and carrying.
This *is* /., cause and effect don't apply when ranting about Apple and Sony. In fact time goes all wibbly-wobbly for those companies.
Why did Sony chose to do this? Could their system being cracked wide open and the method to do so widely broadcast have anything to do with it?
Do you wonder why a dog bit you after you poked it with a sharp stick too? Or is that blaming the victim too?
Be sure to thank Geohotz for this.
If you cheered his 'liberation' of the PS3 you can't really be unhypocratically mad about Sony's response.
I think you dropped an "in" there.
And taking a heart medication at an effectively lower dose than prescribed won't cause damage?
So do you run gasoline that has a high water content? It's still perfectly good gasoline, better not let it go to waste.

Do you also avoid places with multi-ton murder machines (A.K.A. automobiles)?

Someone must have never seen The Untouchables.
"If they bring a knife to the fight, we bring a gun," Obama said in Philadelphia last night."
It's the Chicago way.
Hundreds, probably. Thousands, possible. Hundreds of thousands? Delusions of grandeur much?

Dr. Merkwürdigeliebe, is that you?
"However, being required to do it 6/7 days is not. I don't think that was even required back then."
If 6/7 days is too much for you did you know they used to deliver three or four times a day in some major cities?
"Personally, I think mail delivery should be limited to 1 day per week to any non-PO box or any non-government facility address."
Invested heavily in UPS and Fedex?
I'm sure you've jaywalked so you don't get to call the US an evil rogue nation you vile, evil jaywalker.
Why Apple fanboys? There's a Netflix app for iOS and I believe you can go to their webpage with Safari under OSX.
Yup. And if you shoot and kill someone its not your fault since they weren't wearing strong enough body armor to stop the round.
