Okay so I was so pissed about Sony using rootkit methods for hiding it's presence and limiting how many cd's you can burn. Then I had a really funny idea. Sony's masked process hides anything with "$sys$" in front of it. It also does some funking things with your cd drivers. So I re-installed the infestation of DRM hell and re-named my favorite burning software with $sys$ in front of the executable. Guess who can burn as many CD's as he wants? .... :-D

One hundred thousand years ago, a caveman was out hunting on the frozen wastes when he slipped and fell into a crevasse. In 1999, he was discovered by some scientists and thawed out. He then read a bunch of O'Reilly books and became.. Unfrozen Caveman Programmer.

Sony RootKit Foo
What do you do when a major company includes a Rootkit based DRM system on their CDs? I mean besides not buying anthing from them ever ever again? Use said Rootkit against it to copy the CD:
Unfrozen Caveman Programmer
Ladies and gentlemen of the design team, I'm just a caveman. I fell on some ice and later got thawed out by some of your scientists. Your world frightens and confuses me! Sometimes when someone asks me the difference between EJBs and POJOs I want to throw out of my G5 laptop.. and run off into the hills, or wherever.. Sometimes when I debug JSPs, I wonder: "Did little demons get inside and design it?" I don't know! My primitive mind can't grasp these concepts. But there is one thing I do know - you don't want to use MySQL. Thank you.
