Unfrozen Caveman Programmer

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:

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
