Prof, I'm just letting you dig your own grave on this one.

1 - MS Updater does NOT update virus definitions, as it has nothing to do with your Anti-virus software, which is run by a separate company with its own updating system. I guess I am right, after all.

2 - Your post about your best friend is like posts saying that "people I know don't play the Wii anymore". Filler, no meat.

3 - As someone who spent 10+ years as an IT admin, no, hacking and cheating are two very different things. Cheating using a bug exploit and cheating by using a program that enhances your advantage are two very different methods. Is the old Contra code for 30 free lives hacking? Even though its more of an easter egg than anything else, its still a cheat code, but it is not a hack.

4 - As I stated, a user statistic for exploit usage can only be correlated by page hits or search hits to the website that hosts the cheat code/exploit info. Information in Webalizer that is only accessible to them, unless they have a hit counter. So, you can either assume that somewhere between a few users of a particular console to every user of that console is the general range of exploit use. Pretty wide margin to work with.

5 - Thus far I've not called you any names or insults, I just stated that your analogy about MS update was dumb. I'm sure the mods will like to have a chat with you soon.
