  5. Re:PS2? on PS3 Root Key Found · · Score: 1
    Wrong. the correct answer is Possibly.

    Apparently the PS2 software emu is still on all PS3's. But it is switched off for certain (most) models.

  6. Re:Dear Sony.... on PS3 Root Key Found · · Score: 1

    Nobody gives a fuck about Linux

    Not true. A lot of people ran Linux on their PS3. Universities set up clusters of them for super computer like performance. If one of those PS3's (in a cluster) die now, they can be replaced as new, and repaired PS3's come with updated firmware.

    This is about pirating games and little else

    Ok you're 95% right there....

    The key is not copyrighted, and therefore can be copied.

    Correct me if I am wrong but reverse engineering is allowed when it comes to trade secrets....http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trade_secret#Discovering_trade_secrets

  11. Re:How Many Beta's? on Firefox 4 Beta 8 Up · · Score: 1

    okay, but they should have a schedule.

    They have a schedule! And they had a setback which delayed everything.

    since they've delayed ff4 for perhaps a year now

    Considering the alphas came out in June, and the 1st beta in July it is hardly a year!
    How about you stop making shit up!

  14. Re:What the hell? on BSD Coder Denies Adding FBI Backdoor · · Score: 1

    Seriously?

    If you were hired by the FBI to inject a backdoor into open source code, wouldn't you use an alias?

    Being open, with a chance of discovery at any time, would you want your name on it?

    There is no proof of ID required when submitting code!

    On the flip side, there is (yet) no evidence of a backdoor to begin with. Wouldn't the best way to shout this out to the world, be to provide proof with the offending code....?

  15. Re:BSD coder? on BSD Coder Denies Adding FBI Backdoor · · Score: 1

    How hard would it be to use an alias? you don't exactly require proof of id to submit anything do you?

    I would deny as well, it if I had done it...
