[Tax_Document]

Gents, please let's stop this fighting, why must we argue over who has the biggest penis?

On topic:

The guy who approached the senate committee was giving the capital hill version of gossiping really. He had no fact to base it on but proceeded to tell the committee he heard rumours about outdated software... Sounds like to me he doesn't like Sony too much and is willing to give dodgey evidence to have a go at them from a governmental level.






Off topic:

I have the biggest penis by the way.

 

[Arafiro]

Cheaper than yo Alienware GURL!

Alienware are incredibly over-priced,

Yep.

Cheaper than yo Alienware GURL!

faulty, pathetic piles of garbage

Nope.

Nothing more to say on that really. They're great machines but they are still overpriced.

 

[Irridium]

Ok. So how well were they protected?

WHOA WHOA WHOA! What is this, Youtube? STAY ON TOPIC PEOPLE!

true dat! No one really cares about your computer specs, surely the point of being a "true PC gamer" is just being happy with the experience you get
not rubbing it in each others faces

 

[sheah1]

sony got hacked.
Give Anon what they want.

Thank god imma pc gamer.
Me and my alienware are having a loads of fun playing mmos and mutlitasking.
No service charges....(XBL)no down servers(PSN)...just lots of great, and many times free games with epic graphics and multiscreens(PC)

Nah, real PC gamers don't buy Alienware.

/continuing childishness

OT: OK then.

a Real PC gamer?
What constitutes a REAL PC gamer?
I doubt you've built as many computers as I have, or dedicated as much time and money into video games that I have.
Come back and tell me that once you've
1.Built at least 100 PCs in about 8 1/2 years
2.Spent at least 2200 hours of in game time in an MMORPG or similar game
3.Spent a summer building and selling computers as an out of home job.
4.work as an official wiki editor for an MMORPG

Nope?
I'm the real PC gamer here, youre just a wanna be.

You realise you're the reason PC gaming is suffering right? And why people like me don't want to get into PC gaming?

Ignoring the flaming elephant in the room, this is just another kick in the nuts for Sony. They are going to get hammered in terms of reputation, and customer loyalty, and every detail revealed just adds to the pressure they are under. This just underlines the importance of having the best cyberprotection avalible. Sure, you can't be certain it'll stop hackers, but thats like saying you can break into any bank in the world with enough resources. Least it seems everyone else is double checking their systems now...

Also ignoring the flaming elephant, while Sony just can't catch a break, they had their break before all this happened; when they neglected effective security. They may have had their servers up to date but they must have had some shit security for all of this to go down like it has. Like Hybridwolf says, you can never underestimate how important your security is.

Look I understand your enthusiasm but what you are doing there is flame-baiting people, there is just no point in that.

OT: So the security experts guessing on Sony's security guessed wrong, what a shocker.
