Yea, seriously. Linux users are all hackers and pirates! I mean come on, how many kids know how to use Linux in the first place. So that means anyone smart enough or brave enough to tackle Linux is a scum in their own right.

And lets not forget these ahole hackers and programmers "claiming" to like what they do. Seriously who the fck loves programming (I do, so I'm a ahole by right)? And who loves programming and loves doing at work and then bringing it home (again, me..damn I suck).

Come on DT members, suck it up and protest to ban this malevolent trade that is programming! It's nothing but pure evil like Scientology. You are so damn right, it surely isn't hard to figure out why people would want something they own to do what they want with it.

Let's both pray that when you try to show your kids that a hot wheels car can be fun off the tracks that you don't get sue as well.

Way to put words in my mouth? Please, spare me the melodrama.

Programming? Why would a Linux based PS3 be the best, or even as good, of a programming platform compared to a PC?

Your argument has no merit. If Sony thought "programming" was all people would use it for, they never would have removed the OtherOS feature. It's not hard to figure out.

Of course it's not hard to figure out. Consumers are stupid aholes. Didn't you hear a word I said. And to bring you back to topic of PS3, why wouldn't anyone that knows how not do it? It's great hardware for the money...hell, it's a bargain outright! You play games, movies, steam movies, have it as a server, play music and you know that thing where tons of PS3 compute stuff. That sht should totally be ban!

But again you're right. Sony knows for sure consumers are aholes and uses their products for illegal purposes, all of them in fact. What were they thinking giving people a taste of what they could have and them blamed them for having to take the very "feature" away.

Btw, if it's not programming...what else is there to do with a PS3? Cup holder? Yea...thought so. This isn't melodrama, it's me supporting your opinions clear and through. I just wanted to make sure we're on the same page. I really really wish I was Sony. With this kind of thinking and getting away with them with consumers like you, there's no telling what I do. I'll probably turn into a Steve Jobs or something!

You know what, I couldn't stop laughing so I'll end it here. You're not ever going to convince someone like me to NOT tinker with things I paid for and rightly own. It doesn't matter if Sony doesn't know about it, knows about it and bans the practice, I will tinker with my gadgets. Hey, I'm a fcking engineer, sue me for wanting to break or enhance my own stuff. What I do shouldn't be none of your damn concern or right to ban, whether you're aware of it or not.

I repeat the last term because there are lots of stuff people do with their own gadgets that were not part of the companys "features."

I'm not a "consumer". I don't own a PS3, I'm a PC nut. Consoles can't do anything for me that I can't already do sitting here. And I love to tinker too, that's why I build my own machines instead of calling Dell or whoever.

You can do what you want to the PS3, put Linux on it, I don't care. Again, Sony only made this decision because some asshole ruined it for everyone and used the OtherOS feature to jailbreak the PS3. Which is clearly illegal.

A federal judge already slapped down the lawsuit for killing Linux in the PS3. Just in case you didn't know. Since you simply refuse to accept the legal side of this debate. It's called the Computer Fraud and Abuse act, maybe look it up.

Also people KNOWINGLY accepted a firmware update that removed OtherOS. How is that Sony's fault again?
