I only read the first few sentences of your reply but have to say that cheating on ps3 existed before piracy on ps3.
I'm thinking they only failed because at the time they (tablets with windows) cost a lot (over $2000)
From the number of people I see complaining in #ps3 on efnet, psn is down.
Every time digital information comes up, people talk about costs for storage and distribution. You seem to imply it costs big money for these things. If so, how are companies that provide newsgroup access able to do it for so cheap? Less than $10 a month and you have access to many TB of data with many weeks of retention.
That is the point, clearly you can see that the fastest action is the one with the least amount of human interaction. Do you want some automated process available so that others can take down your work easily?
The accusation is a serious thing, but the source of the information is not creditable. Why do you give so much credit to what you read on a facebook page, washroom stall, or an un-cited wikipedia article. If these kids went to the police and these accusations were on a police report and these accusations were found to be false, then these kids do deserve some kind of punishment.
What about if I write that my teacher is a pedophile in my diary that I keep locked away? What about if I write the same message but the message is only visible in my house and only visible to the guests of my house?
These kids were forced to login to their facebook page so that a teacher could verify what was said. How would you feel if the Government forced you to open your diary and inside you wrote you wished the president dead?
But these kids didn't make any official reports that their teacher(s) were doing these things. These kids made some postings on a website that only a limited number of people could see, like a washroom stall or a personal journal. A teacher forced a student to login to their facebook page to verify the these statements.
Maybe instead of punishing these kids, society in general should be educated that baseless accusations of rape or cheating should not be treated as the truth.
Facebook 15 years ago would have been a Bulletin Board at the local arcade/kids hangout.
Facebook page, bulletin board, washroom stall, wikipedia article with no citations
Replace Facebook with washroom stall and think about what you just said. Do you really take what you read on the washroom stall as the truth? If the kids had went to the police or filed some kind of official statement that was false, then their expulsion would be understandable.
The headline says no flash at launch, not no flash EVER.
FYI, cheaters (especially call of duty games) existed before pirates/homebrewers existed on the ps3. The cheaters did things like purposely lag their connection or modify their save game files. Saying they are banning people to catch cheaters is a scapegoat for bugs in games.
George Hotz is probably using truecrypt. Ive seen him mention it before on IRC.
And how do you know the link is from wikipedia? It is because google tells you or labels it as such.
