Article says they're more than 60 people, and the guy you responded too never said he/she thought 60 people all worked together. Your confusion about both of these facts confirms you're the fucking moron of this thread.
Also, a post signature? Oh grandpa, you're adorable.
"The wars of the future will not be fought on the battlefield or at sea. They will be fought in space, or possibly on top of a very tall mountain. In either case, most of the actual fighting will be done by small robots. And as you go forth today remember always your duty is clear: To build and maintain those robots."
The problem is the broad nature of the DMCA makes any hack or exploit effectively illegal, even if it increases the features of the hardware without leading to piracy, or gives you the ability to do things that would normally be covered under fair use.
"Ars Technica also contacted the Entertainment Software Association for their thoughts on the matter. Surely there is room for consumers to modify the systems they buy if they don't pirate, right?
"The technological measures that video game companies use to control or manage access to their works and to prevent unauthorized copying are essential to ensuring the viability of a vibrant video game marketplace," Ken Doroshow, ESA General Counsel & Senior Vice President, told Ars. "These technological measures protect the intellectual property rights on which video game companies depend to create and publish new games."
The ESA's view is that you can't mess with your systems, no matter how benign your intention. "Circumventing these protections is never 'harmless fun,' as it erodes the foundation on which video game industry depends for its success.""
Ever get any Law suits / DMCA / banned issues with the hacks?
Ben: This hasn’t been an issue. (oh god I don't want to talk about that console modding is still illegal and people have been arrested for it oh god why did I agree to do this interview please jsut change the subject)
And that sums everything up right there. They want immigrants to come in as indentured servents, working as hard as possible with whatever pay they decide to give them. It's the dream of every CEO.
My company prefers older workers; we use a lot of older hardware/software on our production lines that suit their skill sets better than younger workers.
You can get a job, you just have to get off your butt and go find it. Sorry, but working at a home is a right given to
a) cheap outsourced work (think Indian programmer)
b) a master of a given field, where remote help is a company's only option to get their help
c) you've worked with that company for X years and they can't afford to lose you (a subset of "b")
Corporation that was "punished" finds ways to cost cut to make up for losses, which usually means jobs are lost. People wronged get a laughable amount of money. The lawyers make out like bandits though...but when don't they? There needs to be a better way of doing this.
Go look at the average price of gas in European countries. There's also a lot of reasons why we keep the prices high, one being to get inefficient gas-guzzlers off the road.
"Tell me what in the heck it will do for ME, why it's good for ME, how it will make MY job easier and more fulfilling."
Isn't this Sales 101? I was hoping for something a little more clever than common sense.
They just don't want this bullying to continue and are making an extreme example of him. It's national news so the punishment has to be harsh.
However, even though what he did was horrible, a punishment shouldn't be completely decided on what the victim does after the fact. If I call someone a moron, and then they go shoot up a school, am I liable for that because of my "hate crime" and do I get punished according to what the victim does? I think this case will set a new precedent on what you can be punished for.
If he had nothing to hide, why didn't he let them search the car? Maybe he didn't want to, but I'm sure he didn't want a beating either.
Rule #1: Don't do anything to antagonize a policeman.
Unlimited has always meant, in the best of times, "as much as we can give you within reason". AT&T just has a lower breaking point than most companies that do this so it's more noticeable.

Yeah, everyone keeps ignoring that doing drugs for short term gains creates long term problems.

They want these right away to replace all their workers who want $15 an hour.

http://arstechnica.com/gaming/2009/08/modder-arrest-a-reminder-that-most-console-hacks-are-illegal/ Conflicting statements in the article, but my guess is that if a console maker wanted to sue him, they probably could, just on the basis of protecting design copyrights.

I bet the mic is always on and always recording. If they hear a dog in the background I bet I'll get ads targeted to dogs.

The entire company is riding on it. They're just treading water till it comes out.
He was suspended in October for the same reason. He was warned and then did it again.
