Oh Sony, I love thee…

Sony uses rootkits.
Sony’s rootkit screws up your system.
Sony’s rootkits have been exploited
by game cheaters and virus coders.
Sony’s “patch” is even worse, opening
users up to an even bigger vulnerability.
But through all of this, the rootkit is
uninstallable… under threat of OS damage.

But now…

Sony is using GPL’ed code.
Sony is violating GPL lisence.
Sony is in deep hot water.

That’s what you get for angering geeks.

On another note:
I received the free shirt from 2600 today, for having been published. It’s from the H2K2 (Hackers on Planet Earth) con that was held in New York City in 2002.
