To add to your comment... a single person, working 8 hour days, works about 168 hours a month. Assuming even 5 people on this (a pathetically low number, I'll grant you), that's 840 man-hours. How much coding/investigating can YOU ALL do in 840 fucking hours?
Not to sound too much like a Trekkie here, but remember, in the older Star Trek movies, paperback books had all but disappeared centuries before, i.e. not far from OUR current time...
Oh, I don't know... several articles about unpatched servers, plus just recently finding a botnet on a server farm of theirs in Thailand... yeh, they need to go away. I used to be a huge fan of theirs, until the rootkit fiasco, then, over the years, they have kept fucking up, until a few years ago, I refused to buy ANYTHING with "Sony" on the label. I don't care if it's FREE, I don't take a Sony product. From PS3s to blank CDs. No thanks.
What...the...fuck are you smoking? So, you're saying that if you have stuff in a storage facility, and they leave it unlocked, and your shit gets stolen, it's the fault of the THIEVES??? You're not going to sue the storage company? Wow... tell us all please... what color is the sky on your planet?
...that's so WHEN they get sued, they can tell the next judge "but your honor! We did ALL THIS for our customers! Surely that should be enough!", right before the judge says "by golly, you're right! CASE DISMISSED!"...
No, Mr. Cumstain, YOU are the one that's in the wrong here. He published how someone can alter THEIR OWN GODDAMN HARDWARE... Sony found an even dumber judge than you are to agree that it's theirs, not the poor shit that paid too much for it. Sony has also cut out "run other O/S" after advertising that as a feature. Why? Just because they thought they still owned the goddamn thing after selling it. This is about the same as GM suing you for running non factory rims/tires on your car... or any OTHER changes they may or may not like in some point of the near or far future. Get real and get a fucking brain.
Wow... the end IS near... when I see on Slashdot, someone saying MS has anything relating to "good" customer service... Not saying I don't believe them, or I don't agree with them, but still, kind of a shocker.:)
I have been running an Android based phone since my first one (a G1, which I still have, but it's been relegated to being a part time GPS unit), and you know... there have been a ton of programs that I've seen on the market, and when I hit "install", and if I didn't like what permissions it wanted, or it didn't make sense (why the fuck would a calulator need my fine location?), then guess what? I did without it, and found one that did the same or similar thing WITHOUT the weird permissions. Every once in a while, I get weirdness, or software conflicts that I can't resolve, and since I'm NOT rooted (not knocking it, just not for me), I hit "factory reset", and poof... just like it came out of the box. Honestly, I agree with the earlier poster that said, if you are not a responsible technology user, well then quit using technology. You are just another carrier of bugs/viruses. If you don't think so, why not run your AV? Oh, yeh, you didn't think you needed one...
I'm done with my rant.
Am I getting old and senile, or didn't Microsoft try something like this and get shot down when they tried to trademark the word "windows"? It was allowed in reference to an operating system, but not across the board for all thigs that were or could be a window... Yeh, I'm probably senile.
Wow... I thought your first post was semi funny, and not really that of a nutball, but after THIS thing... well, tell us, how IS the weather on Pluto? 'Cause that's about how far OUT there you are, bud... Vaccines, in whatever form, are what keep an immune system healthy. If you stay uber clean all the time, your system gets "lazy", and can't/won't fight off anything you catch. Hell, look at history. The milkmaids that milked the cows rarely came down with cowpox. Why? 'Cause they were always exposed to it, and developed and IMMUNITY to it. Someone please mod this cretin down even FARTHER down the Troll pipe, ok?
I think that either the judge is so full of himself that he thinks that his "super-injunction" will carry weight past the UK, or he's on crack... the jury's still out. Personally, I could care less one way or the other. The thing that pissed me off is the sheer balls of this clown thinking that he can just arbitrarily gag websites that aren't even in the UK... he really needs to wake up and smell the coffee (or tea).
Sorry bud... you're as unethical as that fucked up company you say you USED to work for... you have no backbone, heart OR ethics come to think of it...

Yes... yes it was... as it was funny as shit. :)
As a former ATM tech... sounds like it's EASIER to get into an ATM than one of those pieces of Sony shit.
It's heading rapidly towards the level of incompetence that the rootkit fiasco was...

"Sony's Reader"......FUCK Sony. Sorry, had to say it, or I'd explode.
In reference to your "crazies in society" line... remember, you need some yeast to make the bread rise... :)

Remember... this is the same Sony that was nice enough to give the world its first rootkit! Gotta love evil stupid... /sarcasm
Oh, and PS... I installed that firewall that was mentioned earlier. Nice, simple UI, so we'll see what happens with it.

Copy that. :) Feel free to forward the memo to me at your earliest convenience.

Now, if the Japanese government can get Sony to cough up some compensation for the nearly 100 million users that were comprimised...

They can't be worse than the damn California transplant drivers... trust me, THEY are a real danger on the road in Nevada...
Great job... talk about a lack of research skills... or at least RELEVANT research skills. Now, if he was looking for Star Trek stuff...
If it's any consolation, if I hadn't already posted, I'd have modded you +1 Funny... :)
