Exactly. Why would a patch keep the problem in the code...SifJar said:Not if the patch removes it. Which is kinda the idea of a patch.

Except you're arguments wrong. So what if a patch is adding something to the code while leaving the problem it. It is still fixing it. I don't know, maybe you're just not thinking, how can something that's added or what not, not be a fix when the problem is no longer affecting you?alidsl said:Look at the post above you
Exactly, thank you. Finally someone with sense around here, who isn't a 14 yr old wanna be programmer who thinks they know it all.Rydian said:Er, a patch is designed to fix a problem without requiring a full replacement of the thing in question. It doesn't have to be temporary, it can be either.
Let's say I made an interpreted program to calculate shipping, and I typo'd a variable name and it no longer works.
I release a patch that fixes the typo (consisting of only a few bytes), and the problem is fixed.
It will not automagically revert itself at a later unspecified date.
Beats the theories I've heard;Smyers75 said:So he came onto the PS3 scene, announced to the world that he had hacked the PS3, gave Sony an easy out for removing OtherOS by announcing how he had hacked it using OtherOS, said he had CFW to fix it, made a fake Youtube video of it, then disappeared.
Yes, he will go down in PS3 history….for ruining the PS3 for all of us that use Linux on it.
Now we will never be able to use the games we purchased on PSN unless we give up OtherOS.
Please, leave out the B.S. about how it would be better to buy a PC to run Linux, unless you know of a PC we can buy that has a PPC based PPE and 6 SPE’s to work with.
Even with a Sony crippled RSX GPU, it’s still better than anything else available anywhere near the cost.
Good riddance from the PS3 scene, egoHot
Wish you had never stopped by…
Your right, I don't know it was fake, but with this guy's ego, I'd put some real money on it.alidsl said:You don't know it's fake do you, perhaps it was unstable/had a large bug,
So everybody on CNN and CNBC has a big ego? Because that IS what you yourself just said, as I've quoted right there. That's a rather large assumption you've got going on there, mister.Smyers75 said:made a fake Youtube video of it
I mean really, this guy even let CNN and CNBC interview him...that's a big ego that needs plenty of attention.Smyers75 said:Your right, I don't know it was fake, but with this guy's ego, I'd put some real money on it.That's because you don't seem to know any of the other work he's done, which I've repeatedly pointed out in this thread (that you have failed to read in order to spout off some anger). It's as if Albert Einstein said he invented a new kind of super bomb, showed a video, and then refused to release it and went into retirement because he didn't want it getting out for whatever reason he himself has. It's
Lrn more plz. If CFW or a hack for a system is buggy or the instructions aren't followed correctly, it could brick the system. That would NOT be anything good for his reputation in the least, and is not something to risk if you really do have an ego.Smyers75 said:If he had the code, buggy or not, he would have released it just to stroke his own ego.
Besides, having an ego doesn't mean he can't hack. Hell, generally you get an ego from actually being able to do something.

I do.Infinite Zero said:Nobody cares to hack the PS3. Poor thing.. And even if it was, the games are too big to be downloaded xD
That's true; however, the question then comes, whether you still need to burn that onto a single or dual layer BD-R in order for the ps3 to 'accept' it as a game.luke_c said:The average PS3 game that is dumped is 7GB. Which is only a few gigs more than 360 games.

Even small games on disc for the 360 would have to be burned on a dual-layer DVD. It might be the same issue with the PS3 and BluRay.
