Comment Re:What Would Epic Fail Look Like? (Score 1) 534
Folks toss about the phrase "Epic Fail" far too loosely. Here's what a real Epic Fail looks like:
The DRM code has a bug that, when a certain condition happens (time passes, specially-formulated packet received, etc.), it overclocks the CPU to the point that it catches on fire. Within minutes of the event, most of the millions of PS3s in the wild have set peoples' homes ablaze.
As a result, thousands die and the insurance industry collapses. Anarchy reigns, so there's nobody to enforce copyright anymore and the original DRM is rendered irrelevant.
THAT is an epic fail.
No... That would be a "pretty sweet burn"... =P
