Comment Re:EA sells you an advantage... (Score 1) 209

yup same thing here i dont play since they started selling improved weapons. I also remember clearly (while still in early beta) that they promised not to let people who pay have an advantage over free players; which i thought was cool.So i could understand paying for apparel and clothing accessories and even exp boosts.

The same problem exists with Need For Speed World now... free players are being shafted where the paid for content is by far superior to the in-game-cash cars. The least they can do is also offer a rediculously high in-game-cash price for the good cars/parts.

ok im not an expert onthis specific topic but do these bots generally try to redownload the files they uploaded? if not, you can just point the upload directory to /dev/null. In my opinion if it's a honeypot, then just the fact that they have connected or tried to means they are malicious or shouldn't be on your servers anyway.

Although the end result is the same the process is different. Its like watering your garden with a supermodel, you can fill a watering can or use your hose but the end result is the same... your pants will be wet.

Comment Re:Looking back now, it was a terrible mistake (Score 1) 262

the definition of a volcano when i was at school was a hole in the earth's crust through which magma rises. everything else are just features.
So in my book, drilling a hole in the crust would almost certainly (almost because it hasnt been done yet) release pressure and cause magma to rise to the surface. And there you gave birth to a volcano.

Gun makers know that their products will be used to kill people. Should we arrest them for every murder that takes place?
Reverse-Engineering is also not illegal

And to the reply to the car analogy above: the cops will only go after the guy that makes his car "not street legal" if well he drives it on the street. same way Sony should not be allowed to go after this guy if he is not on Sony's "street" i.e PSN.
Also in the same way if youmodufy your car it loses value, void warranty etc. if you hack your hardware you should only expect to lose warranty, access (in this case PSN), manufacturer support etc.
