Maybe it needn't be that complicated. Most people who own a RPC-2 DVD drive who flashed it to RPC-1 using a patched Firmware know what I'm talking about.
It's gonna be really scary when HDTV cards (or other HDTV devices for that matter) connected to a cable-TV system can be remotely queried for e.g. DRM-compliance or maybe in the process what channel it's tuned to.
Never mind that he's saying right out that the reason for putting out the DVDs are purely financial.
I think that sheds a lot of light on things. He didn't care about fans wanting a high-quality copy to replace aging VHS tapes... he just cared about possible lost revenue. Jabba the Hutt? Trade Federation? Hmmm... maybe inspiration was found quite close to home.

I can't see any good reason to change passwords frequently, other than to limit the damage done from a succesful intrusion. And then, is one month any worse than three months? All your data is 0wned regardless.
Not necessarily. If someone gets their hands on the encrypted passwords list, not necessarily by intrusion, they'll usually process it off-site to see what they can come up with. Even if the brute-force just the useful passwords with high privileges, they'd rather have three months than one month to work with.
Off-topic: does anyone know of any cases where DDoS drones are also used for password cracking?
But what about this: to pay Microsoft for violating the company's trademark and [i]profiting from the use of a domain named controlled by Microsoft[/i]
Eh? Controlled by Microsoft? How?
And this: Windowsupdate.com, a domain name that Mr. Khoshnood had registered in violation of Microsoft's trademark rights.
Same old *Windows* = (tm) Bill story again. So I guess WindowsCleaners is next? (That domain is still available so I'm not spamming).
Let's not get carried away with this. With two beers, most people are perfectly fine, but you can't drive. If they really need you they can pay cabfare including tip up and back.
"Ehhrrrmmmm.... come to think of it, you might just as well do it first thing tomorrow morning."
I don't think the problem is (massive) destruction on Earth. The problem is a vulnerable base station that will allow you take out a multi-billion-dollar hi-tech project, a project that shows 'superiority' of science. It's an Osama-magnet!

I "won" one last night (it was still 1 out of 20,000 at the time), I was able to enter my email address, but haven't received my code yet.
