  • On the post: Sony CEO: We Were Hacked By Freetards Who Just Want Everything Free

    Re: Re: Re: Re: Re:

    I'm replying to this weeks later because I never saw the response..

    First of all, I wasn't defending anyones hacking or cheating. So the claim that I am using "the other car was driving faster" defense is dubious.

    YOU said people were "enhancing" and "adding" to their games BECAUSE of the hack, here: "Or do you think that the vast majority of them are using it to be able to "back up" games to the hard drive, to "enhance" their online games, and to "add features" to allow them to win more often?" Since you mentioned the "hack" in the previous sentance, "it" must be the hack.

    I was showing you that they were doing the hacks BEFORE the hack. Not because of. That was my point, and if you read my comment with any sort of comprehension, you might get that.

    I was in no way defending or saying because others hacked and cheated that this hack is somehow OK. Nice way to try to turn the argument on its head when it wasn't even what I was saying.

    Again, you sound as ignorant as the users who think that geohots hack caused the cheating that was going on when the cheating was already going on. I think I cleared that up in my post.

    Re:

    Here in Rochester, NY, in my neighborhood, we have front yards that are full on veggie gardens. They are all over the place. Up and down one street me and my GF walked, there were 2, maybe 3 on that street. And its only 3 blocks long or so (and that was only one side of the street.)

    I am part of a community victory garden. Its on a lot formerly occupied by a house that the city razed. The entire property, from front to back, is covered with 34 of these boxes, they are all 4x8 plots.

    They are working on adding another garden because the first one is so popular. Again, it will be on the entire property of an empty lot.

    I don't know anyone that has complained about the victory garden I'm in. Half the plots have an 8 foot trellis on them, many have stakes, lots have metal baskets for tomatoes. This is supposed to be an "eye sore?" I'm sorry but no one in or around our community (whether they are members of the garden or not) thinks this is an eye sore.

    So what if the video shows her front yard covered with 5 or 10 or 50 full size beds? They are neat and well maintained. So how many neighbors does she have, in her street, etc. How many people complained? They have to use all those resources at the behest of a handful of disgruntled neighbors? If there are 50 homes on the street at 1 or 2 complained, how do they justify trying to make 2-4% of the residents on that street happy when none of the rest complained?

    She's not even that creative. Her websites cutesy idea, a turn on "auto parts" and the various departments, such as "parts," where she sells shirts and merch, and her blog is called "Super Premium" with some old gas pumps at the top, isn't even related to her field of "expertise" which is photography.

    I can say this as someone who HAS run a themed website in a mildly similar fashion. I used to run a website for rave/party culture and the "sections" of the site were things related to the layout of a club or a party: the "lobby" was the main entrance of the site past the splash page, the "phone booths" are were I kept the Production/Promotion companies phone numbers.. I can't remember the rest and the wayback machine isn't pulling all the images, so I can't recall the rest, but at least my site design had some association to the content.

    Evidence, alone, does not equal the decision of a trial.

    Jury Nullification one of the reasons among them. (If it is a jury trial, natch)

    Tried to donate this afternoon and the payment was not processed.

    Who the fuck is Visa/Mastercard to tell ME who I can give MY money to?

    They are effectively dictating where I can spend my money and that fucking pisses me off.

    Re: Re: Re: Re: Re:

    I would love to know what laws you've broken recently.

    Cause you know, its practically impossible to LIVE without breaking a law. And I'm not talking about smuggling, murder, drug dealing, or even copyright infringement.

    I will be the first to admit: I jaywalk just about every single damn day. Guess I'm a hardened fucking criminal, eh?

    I also run a particular red light almost every day.

    Wow. I am super scum.

    Re: Re: Re:

    Do you even know what you are talking about? Let me make this very clear to you: "cheats" were going on BEFORE geohot and fail0verfl0w broke through the hypervisor.

    Do you understand what that means?

    "Enhancing" and "adding" to their online games was happening all along without any help from geohot et al.

    And buddy, the moral high ground is as far away from sony as you claim it is from the hackers and the hack users.

    Learn something before you speak of what you do not know. You sound as ignorant as the sony lovers who defended sony because they thought this is where the cheating was coming from. The cheating was going on long before the "hack" was even realized.

    Re: Still not a good idea...

    As a current resident of Rochester I can tell you it is not dangerous and it is not unsafe.

    However I agree with you about the mugger, the law will throw the book at you and bury you in arrests, court cases and a police record.

    Clearly, the emphasis of my comment should be on what he said, not who he is. I only wrote chief as in he's thehead of the union. Obviously as I mentioned theunion I wasn't implying anything else.

    Comments from the police union chief:

    Mazzeo said: "What I think is wrong is, we don't have laws that allow our officers to do their jobs ? that an individual has to answer to their demands and be responsible for it."

    Re: Anyone who says these aren't alike is blind, or a moron

    Yet the trees are a clear reflection in one, and a wavy reflection in the other.

    And the treelines don't match up.


    Those are just two examples of how it they aren't alike.

    They just LOOK, at first glance, as similar.

    Upon further inspection this is not the case. You just have to open your eyes to the possibilities.

  • On the post: Judge Not At All Impressed By Apple's Lawsuit Against Amazon Over 'App Store' Name

    Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: popularized vs invented

    No, my point was app is short for application and people have been using it as such for yars. Tweak is short for nothing.

    And then there would be no argument because tweak isn't short for anything else, like app is short for application. So maybe they would be all over apples ass, but the reason people are all over app store is because its a natural progression. Even pencil-neck generalized it himself. People would be all over tweak store to ride the fame.

    They are all over app store because that's descriptive, not inovative.

    Re: Re: Re: popularized vs invented

    And if they had used tweak store, there would be no argument against it, because people don't call applications "tweaks" for short, they call applications "apps" for short.

    Re: popularized vs invented

    Back in the 90's, a buddy of mine always talked about "killer apps." He was a coder, so he was always on the lookout for the "killer app" to give him new ideas for markets to look into. He was always ahead of the curve of Java, XML & XSLT, vbscript, C#, etc. Bear in mind this is the 90's, and in 1996-7 XML and vbscript were fresh from being a white paper. Killer apps were his holy grail, always looking into these new languages as they might finally allow him to have that one killer app that no one could do without.

    Guess he was ignorant of the actual usage as he wasn't aware that Turtleneck-boy was going to "popularize" the term "app" in the 00's.

    Re: Re: Re:

    Duh. That is exactly the victory Lulzsec is interested in.

    The sites AREN'T SECURE. That's the entire point from day one. They are making it abundantly clear that the sites need to be hardened more than they think/assume they are. They are showing people that you shouldn't just trust a big name company with all of your info/data because if they don't execute due diligence your data is as good as open to everyone.

    It doesn't make them look bad, it makes the sites they've taken down look bad.

    Not to mention, they're doing it for the Lulz

    Yes, you see, there's a button named report on every post. It allows the community to flag messages. After a certain threshold, they are hidden. What you already learned for yourself is that anyone can see these hidden messages by clicking on them. This is apparent since you copy and pasted them. Or did you not realize that everyone, not just you, can make that choice?

    The internet is a vast frontier, don't get worked up over nothin, pal.
