Or....just change all there passwords like they should be doing periodically anyways, and alert there banks that your credit card info may have been leaked so that they can keep an eye out for oddities in your statements. This actually still isn't a big deal at all.Xiado said:

I'm not giving up dick because some company can't do what every other damn company does and MAKE A PATCH when they discover someone found an exploit.

Just because people make viruses for PCs doesn't mean software engineers should be thrown in prison for figuring out and sharing how the window OS works, and you don't see car companies dragging car enthusiasts into court for cracking their car computer to tweak performance.
So yea, Sony isn't special and they're no different than any other hardware manufacturer. Deal with that. Damn kids are being brainwashed into defending some corporate bully who can't even encrypt their customer data. Not even banks let hackers get away with the entire database and they're hacked all the time.
It only pisses off a very small amount as most people get what they want from the functionality provided. You ever think that maybe the old ways were worse? Sure the people who love customization take a hit but its a small price to pay for the added security.
I'm not going to convince someone that has lived their entire life thinking that freedom is a given when given a new piece of technology but the times have changed.
Oh, I misread your post lol.Nurb said:I'm not saying anything about getting viruses, I'm saying people dont go to jail for telling others how windows works at code level and how to exploit it to make viruses and wreak havoc. Only people who actually make the virus and use it are the ones who should be punished. Knowledge isn't a crime.omega_peaches said:Thanks GeoHotz. Thanks to you being a fucking cocksucking douchebag, tons of people's personal info has been lost.
But on a PC, it's probably my fault that I got a virus, but on the PS3 however, this isn't even remotely my fault.Nurb said:Yes. they do.

What would you mod a PC for? It can already do tons of shit! And hey, by the way, dude, the "mod" sought after was really just a way to bring back features Sony removed from the console for no good reason.Bakuryukun said:
My thoughts exactly, Anonymous and Geohotz were enjoying (mostly) favorable views from people so why on earth would they piss off this many people and give their opponents this much ammo? It just doesn't add up, I still believe something else is going on here.StarStruckStrumpets said:
In that case, your speculation, or rather before guarantee from before (you used the definite term of it not being good enough, with no qualification), isn't good enough. You know just as much as I do, that's my thought on the matter. You can disagree all day long, but as of now, neither of us knows.pokepuke said:
What are you insinuating about my joke? Are you question my sense of humor or ability to construct jokes! If you are, I'll kill you, I'll murder you in your sleep, you'll never see it coming... arrghhgr!Pyrokinesis said:
If it breaches the warranty, so be it, but it actually improves the quality. Why on earth would you buy a powerful computer that can only run code made by specific people, especially if there is a way to get it to run whatever code you want? I'm sorry to tell you this, but homebrew is awesome.MattAn24 said:

Fuck that and fuck them. They can't punish people because they screw up and don't move fast enough to fix it like every other company out there. Apple doesn't prosecute jailbreakers, they just update the firmware.
How do you gather that the PSN hacking has something to do with the actions of Geohotz? Installing Linux - essentially turning your PS3 into a regular computer - doesn't necessarily lead to PSN being hacked. Now it's true that some people speculate Anonymous did this in the name of Geohotz, but remember that Geohotz and Sony settled out of court. There'd be no reason for Anon to intervene. Sure there've been a few videos released on youtube supposedly from them, but how can we know those videos are really from them? They're Anonymous after all. It could just be some prankster playing a joke. And how was Geohotz supposed to know this was going to happen?Awexsome said:
