I think if Sony would have opened up the GPU to Linux, this situation wouldn't have happened. You could basically run whatever you wanted thru Linux. Hackers are trying to break into the PS3 to get access to the GPU and all cores. Unfortunately, it they succeed in opening it up, no matter how noble there cause is, the pirates come in and thats that. There could also be a simpler explanation for the removal of other OS, and that is Sony only makes money when games are bought, and the Air Force or Universities don't buy games for their PS3 clusters.

I think this is not right:
-IF PS3 were fully open to Linux, they should already start the homebrew ps3 revolution... and when they start hacking, result aren´t good, because not all hackers wants the same: just run linux.

-LINUX still available on latest firmware for "registered" companies or projects... AND who is running ps3 as cluster don´t need to update rom as normal gamers... the first firmware will do the job..

 

Soooo, this all is SONY strategy for keeping a path for hackers... they are doing something amazing (SONY)... let´s keep hackers trying to other OS... when they start sucseeding we take that out.. so... next step should be modding thru chip... they gain lie more 2 years before get the console hacked...  and it´s the most sucessfull type of hack... and if they didn´t had the option of other OS... they should find holes...

Smart move SONY.

Excellent post kibebr

you & sony rul

For the old days



Another one got caught today, it's all over the papers. "Teenager Arrested in Computer Crime Scandal", "Hacker Arrested after Bank Tampering"...

Damn kids. They're all alike.

But did you, in your three-piece psychology and 1950's technobrain, ever take a look behind the eyes of the hacker? Did you ever wonder what made him tick, what forces shaped him, what may have molded him?

I am a hacker, enter my world...

Mine is a world that begins with school... I'm smarter than most of the other kids, this crap they teach us bores me...

Damn underachiever. They're all alike.

I'm in junior high or high school. I've listened to teachers explain for the fifteenth time how to reduce a fraction. I understand it. "No, Ms. Smith, I didn't show my work. I did it in my head..."

Damn kid. Probably copied it. They're all alike.

I made a discovery today. I found a computer. Wait a second, this is cool. It does what I want it to. If it makes a mistake, it's because I screwed it up. Not because it doesn't like me... Or feels threatened by me.. Or thinks I'm a smart ass.. Or doesn't like teaching and shouldn't be here...

Damn kid. All he does is play games. They're all alike.

And then it happened... a door opened to a world... rushing through the phone line like heroin through an addict's veins, an electronic pulse is sent out, a refuge from the day-to-day incompetencies is sought... a board is found. "This is it... this is where I belong..." I know everyone here... even if I've never met them, never talked to them, may never hear from them again... I know you all...

Damn kid. Tying up the phone line again. They're all alike...

You bet your ass we're all alike... we've been spoon-fed baby food at school when we hungered for steak... the bits of meat that you did let slip through were pre-chewed and tasteless. We've been dominated by sadists, or ignored by the apathetic. The few that had something to teach found us willing pupils, but those few are like drops of water in the desert.

This is our world now... the world of the electron and the switch, the beauty of the baud. We make use of a service already existing without paying for what could be dirt-cheap if it wasn't run by profiteering gluttons, and you call us criminals. We explore... and you call us criminals. We seek after knowledge... and you call us criminals. We exist without skin color, without nationality, without religious bias... and you call us criminals. You build atomic bombs, you wage wars, you murder, cheat, and lie to us and try to make us believe it's for our own good, yet we're the criminals.

Yes, I am a criminal. My crime is that of curiosity. My crime is that of judging people by what they say and think, not what they look like. My crime is that of outsmarting you, something that you will never forgive me for.

I am a hacker, and this is my manifesto. You may stop this individual, but you can't stop us all... after all, we're all alike.

That was the biggest load of self serving tripe I've read so far this year. I want that minute or so of my life back.

I agree.

I feel like most of the people in this thread didn't read the entire article and stopped short of where they mention that hackers have been a good thing for consumers and the videogame industry and that Sony was in a moral grey area for taking out Other OS.
