You've seen to misunderstood what I've said.

I never said he isn't a douche or that hackers (I know a few and could be one myself if I wanted to) are all saints and are noble.

My only statement is that, having the other OS option has made it so that people who can actually hack the PS3 "for fun" or whatever their reasons (despite what they may be) have no real reason to (except those that want free games and most of those people don't have the skills). Removing the option will only cause those people to actually know how to go and hack your system.

Thus my point is, way to go 3.21, PS3 CFW incoming. Never once did I say that hackers are noble (though most that I know just want to experiment  despite the consequences and are really nice and gentle people) nor did I ever say they are victims. And, FYI, many (I would argue the super majority of) hackers do have 6 figure paychecks from companies. You are making broad generalizations that hackers are all living in their parents' basement not doing anything.

 

EDIT:  Let me clarify.  My terminology of hacker here (since this is HW specific) is "somehow who is able to make a device do something it was not intended to do" which is usually, running unsigned code or maybe just getting to debug settings, stuff like that.  I am using hacker as a super set, not a smaller subset of people who intend to do malicious things with their device (for varying definitions of malicious).
