I didn't say a damn thing about making them open it up, did I? They just need to chill with suing people who are apparently smarter than their engineers that are trying to lock down the system.
Personally I couldn't give two shits if they're profiting or not. There's got to be some sort of motivation, whether it be profit or otherwise, just as long as they keep right on releasing hacks that put DOUCHEBAG companies such as Sony in their place.
Dear Sony: Feel free to sue me for libel for calling you "douchebag" in this post. I will be more than happy to burn your lawyers' houses down. Have a nice day, fuckers.
Well if these assholes aren't put in their place, Dark aleX might be next.
I just hate sue-happy companies. I think it's fucking hilarious that Sony is so litigous that they actually sued themselves once.
I shouldn't even care about this, for I don't own a PS3. However I'm also not a big fan of being told what I can and can not do with something that I lawfully purchased. Fuck any company that tries to tell me that I can not modify their product that I own so that it serves my purposes better, and fuck YOU if you can't handle that.
Well it's one thing to make it technically difficult to do it, but when they start legally pursuing people that beat them at their own game, that's when I start getting upset.
Still, if I own the damn device, and I want to hack it and put linux on it, that's my perogative as long as I am not pirating their games or cheating online with it.
If you don't see that there's some pretty serious problems with this planet at the moment, aside from the normal trouble and strife that's been going on for eternity, then there's seriously something wrong with you, dude.
We're heavily dependent on oil, yet we're running out of it. We're running out of food. We're completely destroying our landscape in the eternal search for energy sources such as coal, oil, and wood. We have created an oceanic landfill (waterfill?) the size of TEXAS in the Pacific Ocean. We make it worse by perpetuating this cultural idea that we should breed, breed, breed and that will solve the problem, or at least that it will give us more soldiers in God's good fight against evil. Amirite?
No, I'm not some batshit crazy childfree person, either. I have a child, and stopped at just one. I just wish that more people would do the same.
Furthermore, there's no Cabal, and no posse. I'm not going to be heading down to the CNN Center with explosives strapped to myself, taking hostages and demanding that they change their programming to suit my "agenda" any time soon. Why? Because it's friggin' hard enough to get you turds to listen to logic and reason without committing acts of violence and terrorism.
I fully understand that so far, we have managed to find *temporary* solutions to problems such as food production through technology. Don't count on this lasting forever.

Nobody said that we should swallow everything this guy said hook, line, and sinker. You sound just like the stereotypically stubborn American, or even hilljack, who will go and do something just because somebody told you that you couldn't or shouldn't do it.
It's people like YOU who are a good part of the problem with this planet... probably even moreso than Mr. Lee.
I agree wholeheartedly. This guy was definitely a nut job, but the real tragedy here was that he had a point with some of his rantings, and now because of what he did with this situation, whatever good points he had have been entirely lost. The same can be said about the Unabomber and Joe Stack.
It really does sicken me how human culture is all about reproducing and consuming. I know that all the animals do this, but aren't we supposed to be smarter than that? Given the current global state of affairs you would think that more people would want to voluntarily put a lid on reproducing.
All of the sudden? Wasn't the original winsock (Both Microsoft, and 3rd party) implementations a more-or-less straight port of BSD sockets to Windows 3.11? What about all of the commandline TCP/IP utilities such as ftp.exe that appeared in Windows 95?
Because parents want everybody else to nanny their children, in spite of technology being widely available to make it easier for them to police their own children's viewing.
It's like back when Marilyn Manson was so big, and was in the news everywhere. People were protesting at venues trying to get his shows canceled, using excuses such as "I don't want my children to see this filth!" Well guess what, people? If you don't want your kids to see it, then don't let them go see it! There's adults out there that do want to see such things (at least two or three:)) and adults should be free to decide for themselves and not have a bunch of lazy angsty parents pre-emptively make such decisions for them.
Not really. They're on different frequencies, but, various frequencies throughout the band is allocated to different services.
I seem to remember an old scanner trick where you could hear a dead carrier on $tuned_frequency + $IF (or maybe it was $tuned_frequncy - $IF.. I can't remember) but this was a really weak carrier that could only be heard a couple hundred feet away. Plus you would have to know all of the frequencies that all of the law enforcement agencies in the area were using. Furthermore, if the police in the area is on a trunked system, then the cops are possibly going to be sharing the same frequency pool with the water department, sanitation department, and dog catcher.
Unless it's marked "Property of the FBI, do not tamper with this device" or something, then how in the hell am I supposed to know who put it there? For all I know my crazy stalker ex girlfriend or a business adversary put it there.
The problem with that is that police radios are generally the exact same radios used by taxicabs, ambulances, construction companies, GMRS users, etc., so you'd get enough false positives to render your detector useless.
I am pro second amendment, and I say go fuck yourself. Of course I'm sure that you will use this post to say "See what I mean? Them gun owners are so stupid!" but I don't care, so go fuck yourself.

You must be a Sony employee...or lawyer.
Go to hell.

As for support hassles, that's just tough shit.
Can somebody explain to me why Sony even cares that these mods exist?
What's up with all of these companies acting like we don't own the hardware that we PURCHASE with our hard-earned money?
I have a posse?
Interesting.

No thanks. I didn't need a nanny when I was a child and I certainly don't want or need one as an adult.

Laaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaame!
Seriously, people. This is the WORST. IDEA. EVER.
Moar like FAILinois, amirite?
AusFAILia!
Well played, Sir.
Let me guess, you also love spewing "I don't even have a TV!" all over the internet, too.
I am pro second amendment, and I say go fuck yourself. Of course I'm sure that you will use this post to say "See what I mean? Them gun owners are so stupid!" but I don't care, so go fuck yourself.
Whoever modded this as a troll is an idiot cocksmoker. You probably deserve to die in a fiery crash caused by a drunk driver.
I don't do business with them, and if I have my way about it, I will NEVER do business with them.
The entire company could die in a horrible fire for all I care, and I wouldn't shed a tear.
ASCAP can kiss my ass, no debate necessary.
