Why have the consumers do it themselves when you can set up an 'approved upgrade seller' program and make even more money for the game shops and Sony by screwing every last penny from the suckers... emm.. customers.
I knew someone would post that as soon as I hit submit... I was of course using 'telnet' in the general context of 'open a remote shell of some type', be it telnet, SSH, xterm or even THSURSI (TelepathicHyperSecureUnbreakableRemoteShellInterf ace) when someone gets round to inventing it.
Of course in Linux, a fully multiuser system, you could just telnet to their box and do it for them... no need to walk them thru anything. Infact the end user such as the one above should *not* be able to edit/etc/ or any other system or program files not of their own creation for security - a feature which windows faslls far short on.
Back at the dawn of the Industrial Revolution someone had patented driving machines with belts and wheels... or gears... or the ball bearing... or nuts and bolts... chances are we would still be walking everywhere and electricity would be someting crazy people created using jars of acid...
The kind of obvious stuff that is being patented today is the equivilent of the nuts and bolts kind of stuff back then...
Your point is off the mark.... the summit ISN'T in my town... Its over 50 miles away!.. just the protesters that follow it around...
If they were protesting the summit sureley they should be at the summit! (or at least as near as possible...) Glenegles where they are holding it is surrounded for about 10 miles in all directions with fields... pick a field and protest there...
They are protesting in the place where they will casue maximum disruption and chaos causing misery for law abiding, hard working citizens...
I'm not saying the protesters are wrong (infact I agree with them on the whole) just the way they are protesting...
A footnote in the Evening News today hints that the server was suspected of being used to organise 'civil disorder' in Edinburgh during the G8 summit.
Living in Edinburgh and watching the City bracing itself for full on riots, offices and shops closing, wide spread road closures, non critical surgery being canceled to deal with possible injuries, local - family run businesses going to the wall, supermarkets saying they may not be able to sufficently stock their shelves with food.... I'm happy at any steps being made towards limiting the anarchy that some groups are planning....
Even Edinburgh Castle (realy nothing more than a tourist attraction now...) is stepping up security.
How would you like it if the world Invaded (and I use that word deliberatly) YOUR town, shutting it down for a week, potentaly destroying a large part of it and making the residents lives hell?
Everyone seems to assume that everyone that claims to support freedom of speech should also have freedom to do whaterver they dam well please... With Freedom comes responobility, Freedom to state your views also comes with the need to consider the concequences of those views on others... If you incite a riot you must accept to be held accountable....
