I guess Sony is hoping for option A, which became slightly less painful with the price of the PS3 Slim.
The only good news is that you can re-download all your games for free on another console, using your existing PSN account.
You can buy a fat 40GB PS3 for very little, if you know where to look.

I don't think Sony fears option B much, assuming those people will soon stop buying games once someone hacks the PS3 (using OtherOS).

Option C will assert Sony's status of being the sole un-hacked console.
After the impending hack has been released, the PS3 users will be split between light and dark sides and Sony will start using their PSP tactics on the PS3. (required firmwares in games, hardware revisions to plug holes, etc, etc)

I'm not sure about Gran Tourismo, but both Wip3Out games (even Pain) will run without a network connection.
However, you will not be able to play on-line against other players.

Having 3 colleagues with their own PS3 and Wip3Out suddenly became a lot less fun.
Re-installing will be a problem, but you can make a full back-up of your PS3, including games.

I did exactly that by buying a "fat" PS3 for €600 ($800+, for a single controller, no games bundle and a 60GB harddisk)
I was just looking forward to installing Fedora Core 11 on it, too.

The parent did not say how many euros per litre he used. It was probably €1.20, which translates to roughly $6.
I live in the Netherlands, where we pay €1.5 /litre , which amounts to $7.67/gallon

Deduplication often relies on copy-on-write to maintain seperate versions after deduplication.
Once a block is deduplicated between users A, B and C into file Z and user B changes his file, the filesystem will record the change and point user B to block Z instead.
Other security issues (permissions) should be handled by the filesystem table, not the physical file.

The power of the cell tower is measured on the 'receiving' end of the antenna.
The tower also gets the same 3dB boost from the antenna on incoming signals.
Also, the antenna has some incredibly sensitive sensors.

Probably SPI, ISP or JTAG, of which only ISP is a RS-232 Serial Port and provides the fewest options.
(no PC stepping, no memory access , no register access, no offline programming)

Step 3: grab a cup of coffee, because the standard h264 codec with VLC can't manage 720p on a netbook. (have you even tried the listed video?)
Corecodec is a highly-optimized codec that can squeeze just that extra bit of power out of your CPU. There's even a wrapper for it on Linux.
Should you be (un)lucky enough to have a GMA500 GPU in your netbook, it can take care of the decoding for you by using mplayer-vaapi (custom build)

They only key ya really need is the RRrrrr, matey!

I believe the correct statement would be:
"You're fired"

The point of UAC in Vista was to show the users just how badly-written their software was.
Unfortunately, it also showed just how badly-written some of Microsoft's own software is.

I have enjoyed my install of XP64 since the release of FarCry64 and am now trying out Windows 7 x64 to see how well it will cope.

XP was based on (then immature) win2000 and XP64 and Vista on (now mature) win2003. With any luck, everything will work out of the box.

So I guess you never read 'Snow Crash'?

I confuse myself and others by driving an energy-efficient BMW (50mpg diesel)
The gasoline engine does a paltry 40 mpg =]

Experts Exchange has been doing this for years.
Users can post questions and (super-)users can post answers.
The Superusers earn points by answering hard questions and points get you a free premium membership.

I used to hang there for years, until they started asking money for premium services.
I still highly recommend it to small businesses. One membership can save piles of consulting fees.

The fact that the traffic originated from IPs that include China and Russia does not mean that the hacker is Chinese or Russian.
It just means that the hacker is using chinese or russian computers.
