I can't control who they interact with they're not with me. I can control to a certain extent, or at least monitor, who they interact with online under my roof.
How can you trust the person on the other end of the connection to see to it that all your child's mistakes on the internet are minor, lesson learning experiences?
They're using it successfully because of you. I honestly cannot believe that average people would still be using Linux at home without an experienced user shepherding them along.
If your XP box has a network cable plugged in, I would consider it irresponsible not to keep it patched up with at least the critical security updates. No one's ever as perfect as they claim to be...:)
Look around and realize, a lot of people buy consoles based on whether or not they can pirate the games for it. Look for the successful consoles and then check whether or not it was "easy" to pirate for it. Then check sales numbers and the advent of cracking tools, modchips and patched firmware, you just MIGHT see a pattern...
You have a chicken or egg dilemma.
How much time and effort goes into cracking a console the first time? How much time refining it into a consumer-level solution?
Isn't it equally possible that high sales lead to the top-shelf cracking efforts, and not the other way around?
What an absurd quandary security companies are in.
If Microsoft releases the buggy, hole-ridden mess that so many are afraid of along with functional, cheap, easily obtainable antivirus tools, they're out of a job.
If Microsoft were to release an OS as secure as, say, Linux, they're still out of a job.

In other words, your advice for him is "go broke and kill your dream of being a musician for a living"?
Hell, the tips probably wouldn't cover the hosting bill.
Indeed.
And in what alternate universe do you live in that shutting down a former modchip seller even comes close to the civil rights movement?
The circle completes...
I'm sorry, I thought you said "good purpose".

If the law is fundamentally wrong, then the law should be thrown out on its own merits, or lack thereof.
I don't believe it's built in at all. It's entirely a learned response.

Kudos to the maker.

What's more interesting is that the drink in Jonestown wasn't even "Kool-Aid". It was Flavorade.

I try too hard.
I often hear the automobile (specifically the internal combustion engine) referred to disparagingly as 19th century technology.
We're not launcing the space shuttle, just developing a game.
Is that by Charles Dikkens, the well known Dutch author?

And somehow, it will still be Microsoft's fault.
No company has a guaranteed right to profit.

I think Michael Dorn called me that on my Klingon audio dictionary.
Why should someone switch to Firefox if they're unhappy with the look and feel?
