One question that is completely missing in the discussion is "Why did they attack?" ... I think to most people this is still a deep mystery, it just came out of the blue for no reason at all. Very few see the connect to the (still ongoing) US foreign policy against the peoples of the Middle East.

Afghanistan does not have any training facilities for flying large civil aircraft. Not then and not now. Bin Laden lived there, and - well, that's about it. He lived there.

Submission + - Israeli to be treated as terrorist for stolen cred (haaretz.com)

If you want full civil rights in Israel, yes, you'd have to serve in the army. I believe that you too are well aware of this and deceptively pretending otherwise is just plain foolish!

This is by some complicated ancient accounting where only those in favor of the rulers (ie: Settlers in the territories, but not Palestinians) are allowed to vote, and where even larger parts of the population in the diaspora (ie: Palestinians but not Jews) will be shot on entry. And you will of course have to serve in the Army, which for Palestinians means you must be willing to expel your own relatives if this has not already happened. Yes, it's different, very

PS3 Hacked? 296

Posted by Soulskill on Monday January 25, 2010 @07:35AM from the another-one-bites-the-dust dept.

Several readers have sent word that George Hotz (a.k.a. geohot), the hacker best known for unlocking Apple's iPhone, says he has now hacked the PlayStation 3. From his blog post: "I have read/write access to the entire system memory, and HV level access to the processor. In other words, I have hacked the PS3. The rest is just software. And reversing. I have a lot of reversing ahead of me, as I now have dumps of LV0 and LV1. I've also dumped the NAND without removing it or a modchip. 3 years, 2 months, 11 days...that's a pretty secure system. ... As far as the exploit goes, I'm not revealing it yet. The theory isn't really patchable, but they can make implementations much harder. Also, for obvious reasons I can't post dumps. I'm hoping to find the decryption keys and post them, but they may be embedded in hardware. Hopefully keys are setup like the iPhone's KBAG."
