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 now 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.

And you seem to lack reading comprehension as never once in my posts did i say anything of the such.

I simply said if hackers WERE KIND HEARTED FOLKS then obviously this punk wouldnt be making threats, and he would simply "hack" for his own leisure. I said nothing of the such that i bolded, you seem to have taken my comments personally and got defensive.

I'm sure there are plenty of hackers with legit jobs inside the industry, however id venture to guess the detrimental hacks that cause harm to legit businesses are not done by those cashing 6 figure paychecks from large companies with stockholders.

EDIT: I saw your edit, and i addressed pretty much what you said already. I agree, but im onbviously speaking of what i referred to as detrimental hacks, like this kid. The obvious topic at hand has NOTHING, absolutely NOTHING to do with people taking their 2 slice toaster and hacking it to toast 4 slices. The outrage and discussion is solely that of malicious hacks.
