I don't really have any sympathy for people trying to make a business out of suing people because they downloaded copyrighted material which, at most, caused a potential loss of potential profit. Not exactly a huge priority.
As far as I understand, the actual act of suing people doesn't really make money. What does make the money is discouraging people from doing piracy so you can continue making profits from people buying the content legally.
It goes to show the present sorry shape of the IT industry.
The point of the matter is, I don't see it "appropriate to blame the victim of a crime" when the example of "DB frameworks" which supposedly "knows how to handle" this... Doesn't in 2011.
Actually, a website vulnerable to SQL injection really is completely inane in 2011. This is something that every DB framework knows how to handle, and also something that has been explained in detail again and again for over a decade..
Please explain the following then, some of these are even well known and well sued DB frameworks:

well, there were multiple copies of that rootkit, one on each CD... that could explain the plural
Not really, that's like saying someone "made viruses" because there are many identical copies of the same virus. That doesn't fit with normal conventions of communication in the English language.
its one thing to find an unlocked door and report it to the world, its another to fuck over all the customers, over and over again
Indeed.
I have to wonder, when they are done with Sony.... whos next?
Likely any other big name, where they stumble across some script kiddie method of exploiting them.
So, looking back on things, was it really worth removing Other OS? Look at all the trouble it has caused you. Oh, and not to mention, your console was still hacked to pieces anyways. Yup, that was really worth it.
You deserve every last bit of this and in the end, I hope it puts you out of business. You won't be missed.
Sounds like this AC was all sore, mad and is now trying to ride on these events, rewriting them as his/her 'revenge'.
These asshats (SONY) have flat out shown they feel they can do whatever they want (root kits) and have not the slightest respect for their customers by calling them all thieves
I only remember one root kit from a decade ago which Sony was involved with. They didn't even create it, just licensed the software from another company who had promising it would stop piracy. Sony withdrew said root kit a long, long time ago when it was shown not only to be useless against piracy but a hindrance to customers.
However, since you used the plural form of 'root kit' and I failed to find any other root kits Sony was involved with on Google... I look forward to hearing from you with links about these other root kits they apparently released which are all about doing what they want, not having the slightest respect etc
Can someone tell me a specific example of something this can do quicker than a classical computer?
Quantum algorithms that solve problems in fewer steps and in turn, faster than a "classical computer". With enough qubits, it would be capable of brute forcing some of the most complicated encryption systems out there in minuscule amounts of time in comparison.
Let's say we wanted to use a minute of a Warner Brothers film in a parody of something. You think WB would be so nice as to let us use it without a license?
Yes, the evidence is the numerous material parodying WB content on youtube, I don't believe anybody has been sued over parodying so far by WB on Youtube.
No, they are not. At least they believe in something that actually exists unlike the billions of nutjobs who believe in an imaginary deity.
I hate to break this to you... But the device that "just works" doesn't exist. This is evident by all the sites which exist to support issues with this "just works" device.
Generally you can't fix hardware on a laptop; you have to replace the board.
I've fixed numerous laptops via soldering of components, replacing fans, cleaning out gunk (you have no idea how often I get laptops that have 'gunk' that is just causing all kinds of weird issues), replacing battery internals, changing RAM.
Honestly, that's just laptop repair off the top of my head I've done without replacing the board.
The one exception to this might be the whole 'hats' thing. It sure accomplished the goal of monetizing TF2 however it severely curtailed the main strength of the game, that being it's brilliant and uncluttered art design. Have you looked at any TF2 serverrs lately?
The only thing I remember about the hats was people getting all mad and promising to never play again when they had their hats removed as they cheated to get them.
Of course, you can't really trust those people to do what they say, there was an amusing blog post by this person I recall that was saying they would never play again. You look now, and that blog post disappeared and they've got loads of random TF2 references all over the place.
Sadly I fall into the category where my storage needs are quite expensive for dropbox to be really useful to me. That said, I use it for limited collaborations still, I have yet to find a better alternative.
I closed my dropbox account for two reasons, firstly their admission as to who had access to my data and then they made alterations to my/etc/fstab, during an update
How is that even possible when it doesn't run as root?

Why would you need them when you have BigIntegers?
As far as I understand, the actual act of suing people doesn't really make money. What does make the money is discouraging people from doing piracy so you can continue making profits from people buying the content legally.
I don't see any legitimate justification at all for their vandalism of Sony or Oracle.

Indeed.

He's done more for the customers by declaring how this was not the ethical thing to do.
Hurting people who aren't directly involved at all. Sick people.

I thought it was resolved in the old series?
Quantum algorithms that solve problems in fewer steps and in turn, faster than a "classical computer". With enough qubits, it would be capable of brute forcing some of the most complicated encryption systems out there in minuscule amounts of time in comparison.
It was the opposite with me, hah.
They also cover obvious ideas, mathematical concepts, prior art etc. The evidence of this is in pretty much many past Slashdot articles.
Yes, the evidence is the numerous material parodying WB content on youtube, I don't believe anybody has been sued over parodying so far by WB on Youtube.
I hate to break this to you... But the device that "just works" doesn't exist. This is evident by all the sites which exist to support issues with this "just works" device.

I have a problem determining if this is a satire, troll or serious.

Of course, you can't really trust those people to do what they say, there was an amusing blog post by this person I recall that was saying they would never play again. You look now, and that blog post disappeared and they've got loads of random TF2 references all over the place.

Other than that one, not seeing any other lies.
How is that even possible when it doesn't run as root?
I don't understand why it would be a problem for you. It's not like Ubuntu doesn't let you change the default graphical login manager if you want to.
Why are you using -X instead of -Y ?
