Books really don't making sense in this situation. Especially spending 81M on a big storage unit. What happens when the water barrier fails and takes out the entire library?
Yea hardcover books never make sense. Should be all digital. Like what would happen if a tsunami hit and took out the nuclear power grid? How would we read the hardcover books? Digital is way bett... Oh wait. Never mind.
Diameter of the Earth is a nearly meaningless comparison. Not only is the Earth not a perfect sphere, but also most people will have a hard time gauging the spatial reference to something more meaningful
Ok. How about 'the storm is the same size as 528000 football fields placed end to end' ?
Proved you wrong and you resort to personal attacks. Clearly you don't know what you are talking about. You should take a few college courses in computer science when you graduate high school.
There are few companies that deserve this more than Sony.
Now it's time to hunt down the Anonymous members responsible push them over and take away their lunch money. Thats about all you can do to basement dwelling 12 year olds.
What do you mean by winning? He showed how to cause great damage to super-powers (first USSR, after that the US) with relatively tiny resources. Btw, note that most of the economic damage to the US (e.g., the war in Iraq) is self-inflicted.
And most of the damage done to the USSR was also caused by the US. This was back when Reagan portrayed the Taliban and al-Qaeda (actually the precursor to them) as a religious group being persecuted for their beliefs by the big bad commies. So the US trained the mujahedeen and sent billions in weapons aid so they can fight the Russians. Russia eventually pulled out when they realized they could not compete.
If the US/CIA had minded their own business then the mujahedeen would have been wiped out by the Russians and all of this stupidity would never have happened.
Your bank has port 80 and port 443 open on their servers (at least!) and there is actually a reason to hack something like that. Yet anybody who opens any ports is stupid?
Are you saying the $50 home firewall has the same level of protection that a bank would have on their firewalls?? Give your head a shake..
My PS# connects perfectly fine to PSN but giving someone my IP address is pointless because the firewall will not allow an inbound connection. Two different issues.
You cannot say that I can use it however I see fit, but then say it also has restrictions. The two are incompatible. BSD is truly use as I see fit and fits the free as in freedom motto much better than GPL.
Did you miss the part where I would have to release any changes to it even if those changes were meaningless to everyone else? I'm not talking free as in cost, I'm talking free as in n o restrictions which is what 'free as in freedom' implies. Exactly my point is the GPL should change their motto to 'free as in no purchase price' as it is NOT free as in freedom.
If you were going to go through the bother of rewriting the code so it didn't check for the handshakes just so you can cut the receive wires, then why not just write the software so it doesn't accept incoming packets? Please get a basic understanding of how things work before you go off and comment on them.
I do. If you think you can cut the receive lines and leave only the transmit, and still have a functioning ethernet system then you are a complete moron. You are the one that needs basic education about the ethernet protocol.

The water level USED TO BE at the bottom of the canyon, and you can't see that, can you?
The water level is ALWAYS at the bottom of a canyon. That's why its a canyon in the first place (DUH)

Interesting idea.
They already did that in a Star Trek episode.

How many people are going to change their password to SONYSUCKS?
Far less than the number of people changing their password to ANONYMOUSSUCKS
The upside for everyone else - Wii, Xbox, PC - is that they've been playing their games this entire time.
I've been playing my PS3 games for the entire outage without it affecting me in the slightest.

I'm simply pointing out that it is a solution that opens up your computers to all kinds of attack. It's risky.
Open your firewall and you are opening yourself up for attack. Any hole will allow someone to get in if they want.
I'd say most users are like this which is why the idea is a silly one and will not work, except for a few stupid people that open up their firewall.
Exactly. Defaults do not allow this which is why the idea of trying to connect directly to someones IP is not going to work.
My PS# connects perfectly fine to PSN but giving someone my IP address is pointless because the firewall will not allow an inbound connection. Two different issues.
And the security issues? Obviously Sony doesn't know much about security.
There is absolutely nothing that is perfectly secure (digital or physical) given someone with enough time and determination to break through it.
This is not Sony's fault - it's Anonymous. I hope those responsible are caught and jailed/sued into oblivion.
For example, "Unranked Matches > Custom Match > Join Server > Enter the IP of the game server to join."
Because my hardware firewall doesn't allow this due to the security settings I have and I'm not opening it up just to play a game.
Oh yes, those two are EXACTLY the same...

Simple yes, but restrictive and not free as in freedom.
GPL: Free as in commie free.
