Exactly, I don't see what is so hard about cracking this setup.
Once you've purchased said games, they're a) stored unencrypted on your machine, or b) decrypted during runtime, and could be intercepted fairly easily.
Once the Virtual Arcade system has been worked out, someone will put up a custom server where you can download the games for 0 points. All you'll have to do is point wii.com (or whichever A/AAA records are needed) to their server.
It seems like this system will be hacked rather easily.:/

Yes, I had to play that level for about a month straight (I was around 9-10 at the time, too) before I could beat it. I didn't realize there was a warp during the "fast" part until a few months later. Eventually, my sister and I became so good at it that we were able to complete that part, either by warping or seeing it through to the end, quite well and usually on the first try.
Unfortunately, I never got past level 9... maybe I will fire up an emulator and use the magic of savestates to get past that damn underwater "gears" part and see what level 10 looks like.:D

You have to escape ( and ) in POSIX and Perl-style regex.

Unfortunately, with Bethesda at the helm, Fallout 3 stands to have more bugs than Fallout 2 did.

Not trolling, I've just been burned too many times by stupid bugs that have slipped through QA.
__int64/BIGINT for the win!
Slashdot should have stopped registrations at the 1 millionth user.

You seem like someone who just downloaded Ubuntu.
Yes, and look what the script has done to the famous actor that was in it!
Madness, I tell you!
I'm beginning to think that Slashdot's "editors" are just poorly-written Perl scripts.
If you have to question whether or not something violates the DMCA, chances are it does (unfortunately).
Don't Make Content Accessible
Of course it is.
Nobody cares about the DMCA nowadays but lawyers and businesses who claim reverse-engineering hurts their business model.
Not sure if this was implied in your post or not, but you still need to set the user agent as well.

Unless I'm wrong? Enlighten me!
Then you just make a machine appear to be a Wii. Their server is none-the-wiser.

I'm a software developer who writes a lot of freeware utilities
Fuck them. You're providing them with programs for free. Just because one platform has a majority of users shouldn't mean it gets all the attention.
If you were making a LIVING off of the products you produce, doing the opposite would be probably be the wisest course of action.

Adventures of Slashcode gone horribly wrong O_O
Wow, you're right.
This guy is almost on the same level as Jack Thompson in terms of stupidity/ignorance.

I meant the headline on Slashdot, not in the article itself.
Uh... did you even read the article headline?
I've heard of people not reading the article or even the article summary, but at least read the headline...
If I can interrupt your usage of a particular program remotely, it IS a denial of service attack. I am denying you the ability to use a service.
DoS does not always involve botnets, although they are one way to bring a service down.
You seem to be confusing OpenBSD with NetBSD.
If you were attempting to troll, *looks at userid* that was pretty pathetic.
And now his account will be disabled by Valve for doing the exact thing the original guy was trying to do to him.
I at least hope he doesn't use br0kenrabbit as his Steam login name.
He is awesome at side-stepping questions.
Shouldn't he be in marketing or something rather than leading a development team?
