    If you're taking this seriously, you're a fool. Plain and simple.

    How about you talk to me, where I'm a professional in the green industry, as opposed to a writer?

    Shit, I could expose the nonsense in this man's entire setup. I want to, but I'd rather not because I'm too busy showing Microsoft how much they hate being raped through their marketplace so that free copies of halo reach are in everyone's hands.

    Are you mad you failed to secure your permissions for downloaded files?

    You only have yourself to blame. I only showed people how to bypass your bullshit, just like I showed the nice people at OZMODS how to bypass the PS3 protections.

    Please, come after me. I'll fucking wipe out your life and livelihood when I expose your internal e-mails showing how you PLANNED this out. We're talking a SECOND anti-trust lawsuit with full exposure this time, assholes. FUCKING TEST ME.

    I *LOVE* having spies in industry. Your NDA be damned. I'll expose you for the Totalitarian Communists that you are and make your stock price plummet so hard you'll fucking wish you didn't come after me.

    I owned EA, you think you stand any better chance?

    Bring, it, Microsoft. You already know who I am, please, step up so I can wipe your ass out and claim self-defense from INTERNATIONAL TRAITORS SELLING TECHNOLOGY TO FORBIDDEN COUNTRIES.

    "The leap second added on to the end of 2008, for instance, caused Oracle cluster software to reboot unexpectedly in some cases."

    And people wonder why I tell them to avoid Oracle at all costs.

    They don't have the team to debug-test this crap, they *ONLY* test for running functionality.

    I got hit by this bug - it cost me half a million dollars.

    If you use Oracle software, you're a total fool.

    "Unfortunately, the anti-tax hysteria gripping the US for the last 3 decades has resulted in it being very difficult to raise taxes."

    No, the fact that people see the politicians spending money on shit they shouldn't be is what is making it harder to raise taxes.

    I don't want my tax money going to pork-barrel projects or lining the coffers of corrupt politicians.

  10. Re:No DRM for me on Tensions Rise Between Gamers and Game Companies Over DRM · · Score: 3, Informative

    Direct2Drive takes forever to get games patched with the rest of the community.

    STALKER comes to mind. For over a year I was stuck with 1.0005 thanks to D2D refusing to get off their asses and demand a patch for digital distribution customers so they could be patched with the rest of the world at 1.0006 (which was OFFICIAL and yet D2D said it wasn't an official patch at all.) Steam had 1.0006. D2D didn't.

    I got my $15 refunded and bought the physical disc for $9.99. Patched to 1.0006 and haven't looked at D2D since.

  11. Re:No DRM for me on Tensions Rise Between Gamers and Game Companies Over DRM · · Score: 1

    No citation Needed, it's been known nVidia removed 8-bit color depth support. This is why multiple games, like Metal Gear Solid for the PC, won't run unless you've got a GeForceFX or lower card.

    ATi, on the other hand, still fully supports it, and Metal Gear Solid for the PC runs perfectly fine even on my 4200HD.

    nVidia PURPOSEFULLY DISABLES CAPABILITY. There is no falsehood in that statement.

  12. Re:Vendors on Steam Prompts OS X Graphics Update · · Score: 1

    I know of at least 6 HP models that use MXM, in both consumer and business class notebooks. These are usually found in all of the top-line models, but there have been at least 30+ models of laptop with MXM that I have personally repaired starting around 2006.

    Also missing from that article - Dell, Alienware, Sony (the TV-sized all in one units use MXM or low-profile cards depending upon revision.)

    That wikipedia article is rather out of date.

    MXM hasn't been a rarity for a LONG time. HP business-class graphics laptops use MXM, as do many Dell/Alienware laptops.

    Not even close. MXM has been in multiple laptop models. It's what's labeled/advertised as 'discrete' graphics.

    The over-current trick has been used in MANY systems to bypass hardware restrictions by forcing it into a failure mode for repair. From Tom-Tom devices, to the original XBox console, now it's been used on the PS3.

    Here's your requested information. I gave you more than you needed so you could grab a PS3 for yourself, pop out the mobo, flip it over, and start hacking for yourself so maybe you can help us figure out WTF these other UNKs are.

    VERY similar. I've done the same thing to my TomTom so I could drop in map updates since my particular model doesn't work with the mapshare community.

    This is a fallback from the PS3 debug systems, which required a hardware key. The data trace has a nearly direct pathway to the hypervisor, thus making it the most vulnerable route to attack.
