On Sunday, the company said it was rebuilding its network to better guard against any future attacks and asked customers to have "a little more patience" while it completes the "time-consuming" task. Sony had said two days earlier that a fix would take ""a day or two," but that loose deadline has already been missed.

An has confirmed a few things :(

I hope people havnt saved credit card info on there

Serves Sony right for being a buck of cocks.

But then the end users are the ones suffering because them hackers think they're attacking Sony but they're actually causing problems for us???????

another reason to play games on PC

Yeah gaming on PC never has any problems at all! :no:

How does it serve Sony right? I would like to play online against people who are legitimate and not hacking f**ks who cheat. I agree and laugh when Sony bricked hackers consoles because they deserve it. You own the hardware but you only purchase the license to use the software. Not to hack it and reverse engineer it.

Anonymous are really just pussies with no face. Be it a massive keyboard warrior that will never come face to face with anyone. They are cowards.

As for the computer comment. Man people cheat and hack in almost every comp game. More so than on any console.

Do you even know why Anonymous are doing what they are doing?

Their motivations behind it, the means/ends they seek?

How else do you get the attention of governance?

If we don't like laws, or things our Gov't do - we protest and cause disruption to make our case heard

This is the same thing.

Sony were warned well in advance this was coming, did nothing about it. I've been following it on one of the tech blogs i read daily.

You should be directing the rage @ the ignorance and arrogance that is Sony management.

They will blame the hacker groups etc etc. But at the end of the day they caused this by locking out the PS3/Linux when it was there when you purchased the console initially.

I've heard anonymous' reasoning behind doing it. And their reasoning is more like. Wah wah we can't beat them legally, so we'll beat them illegally.

The geohot matter is just an excuse for them to act like f**kheads. Their view on the matter is very shortsighted. And when they said their reason for doing it on their video also shows the immaturity of the group.

anonymous has denied doing it.

but the fact is that any hackers who disrupt end users to this extent have missed the point in their misguided attempts to "stick it to the man". they need to find a way to disrupt sony without screwing over the general user for 4 days.

Anonymous have announced they are NOT behind the attack. This is most likely true since they admit to everything they do.

The story ive heard is hackers were trying to break into PSN to obtain people's credit card info; which is why Sony flicked the off switch.

As much as I was against removing the third party OS feature on the ps3, it's slowly making more sense as to why Sony had made that decision.

The last thing ANY company needs is for their customer's personal info to be under threat.

my computer is only a little bit younger than the PS3 and how hard is it to get a driver every now an again

most times unless something is broke you don't need to get drivers, and big deal so a game might need a patch every now and again most games auto patch now

Even if they aren't behind it (which its look like they are not more and more). I fully support it.

The whole behaviour and bullshit against Geohot was a load of crap and Sony should be disgusted.

They didn't actually lose btw. I think you need to do some more reading :thumbsup:

...which was caused by geohot using the OtherOS feature to hack the PS3 in the first place!

it's just typical of the way things always happen though, the minority ruin it for the majority, and then the same minority get all upset when it happens, and then instead of maning up and taking responsibilty for their actions they act like a bunch of little kids and fight back, thus ruining it even more for the majority.

lets face it, if anyone one of these hackers was the one whose product was getting hacked they'd do the exact same thing as sony is.

    • Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!
    • To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules
    • So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket
    • As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year. 
    • I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
