"The problem is your definition of "fix". If it's a temporary solution to cover a deeper problem, I don't call that a fix."
well the thing with words is that they do tend to vary in meaning from context to context, when we focus on the context of technology and computing we generally accept that most devices and systems can be hacked into given enough time...
and from that then i guess i figured that when i spoke of a "fix" that it would be obvious that i was reffering to something that could be eventually be broken through, if you didn't undertand that before then i'm sorry
"I'm pretty confident in my own logic"
i know you are but it doesn't change the fact that beyond that theres not much backing up your argument
"So if you haven't heard of it, that must mean it's absolutely factual"
no its just taking the information presented to me, just like i i did when i heard that the keys had been leaked...
"You think sony is some kind of god, who never asked for this in the first place, and can never do anything wrong"
i actually don't and i was never even close to implying that i believe that they had mastered technology to such a degree that they could "rewrite decades of digital encryption methods in their first attempt" ( if i'm wrong quote me where i did )
beyond that i could as easily say that you seem to view sony as some demonic force that deserved some kind of retribution and maybe they did i wouldn't know they've never done anything to me personally maybe they have to you if so well all i can say is that i'm sorry

True, nothing is totally secure. However, I was referring to similar means. If the PS3 is cracked again, it WILL be because of it's obligation to maintain backward compatibility with games published under the original key. A fix would imply that hackers would need to look into other means to breach security, rather than adding efforts to the already damaged wall.
Once again, if you really wish to know why I'm confident, do a little research on the implications of digital security breaches. I'm sick of giving you the logical path to my reasoning, only to have it ignored.
You don't know me very well, do you? I give a critical eye to ALL corporate entities, especially the ones who start to test the bounds of civil rights (including the right to personal property), as well as snake oil techniques, such as taking back things that a buyer has purchased (there is a derogatory term for that, but I refuse to use it). Stand by for a rant on Apple and their forced MagSafe power adapter monopoly...

"it WILL be because of it's obligation to maintain backward compatibility with games published under the original key"
maybe, we'll just have to wait and see... this is about 9 months and counting now, for a seemingly simple hack it appears to be taking some time
"I give a critical eye to ALL corporate entities, especially the ones who start to test the bounds of civil rights (including the right to personal property), as well as snake oil techniques, such as taking back things that a buyer has purchased (there is a derogatory term for that, but I refuse to use it)"
it confuses me how people can say things like this then turn a blind eye to what the hackers are doing... then again we're two different people and as a result we can't be expected to see eye to eye on this issue
"such as taking back things that a buyer has purchased"
implying that people were coerced into purchasing their ps3s for linux? even though it wasn't advertised on the box it came in, in any of the tv ads or promos etc?
