I'm just going to take a piss and say that once Nintendo has ACTUALLY come up with some decent fucking firmware update (pardon my french) one that doesnt involve like 14 stability updates that Japan is now using it against anti quake foundations, and probably adds like new features or a different interface, that's probably when a window will be open for exploits, right now its a cat and mouse game with smea vs ninty on how fast can you patch all our exploits *Seriously they should pay him for seeking these vulnerabilities at the rate at which he was going*, everything from 9.2 onwards has been complete BS from ninty, nothing new, just new stability firmwares. Once NX comes out (Hopefully) the focus will be off 3DS and onto something else, by then it will be just like the DS console, exploits being easier to work on when Ninty is behind your ass every now and then.

I know. But if I was Nintendo, that'd be a good thing. I'd probably save a lot of money just hiring him instead of dealing with him.
It's an even bigger risk. Imagine hiring people who exploit your work and you're going to hire them? All the more that he would search for vulnerability, he maybe against piracy, but he's not against breaking their ToS

They have ways of finding out if he's doing something wrong, and if they find out he is, they'd sue him into oblivion.

That still won't motivate them to hire him nor will he choose to work there. It's like you know your ex is screwing with you, and you're going to let her back into your life hoping she would do more good than damage?

Not saying his skills aren't worth mentioning, but Japanese companies like Sony and Ninty ain't Microsoft, they don't hire scene hackers.

Generally, a large salary's a lot more appealing than having a big creepy fanbase who analyzes your every word for hints at how they can pirate bad games.

It is a good idea to hire people who know how to break your stuff. Japanese companies don't do it anymore, but it's not that uncommon for job offers to be floated to people who find security flaws in places that matter.

Recently he posted up about how he helped Adobe find an exploit in Flash. All it got him was a nameplace on their changelog, and that was much about it. If he -does- get hired by Ninty which is probably unlikely, the sad reality would be the creepy fanbase would have a higher regard for him than Ninty would.

i just want to point out that by supporting emulators therefor roms he is obviously not against piracy but instead is more likely unwilling to be torn up in court like geohot was when he broke into what he called at the time "the so called, hack proof ps3" geohot had to pay a fine for all the unique ip's that directly responded on his twitter:teach:

    i thought everybody knew cocktails are like 75% ice
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Yeah but not like this.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It's not like they're complaining that their Slurpee is 99% ice or something, but if the cocktail calls for "shot of vodka, shot of vermouth, shot of gin, shot of Campari, three shots of juice, squirt of lemon" and ends up being a thimbleful of booze, that's a problem.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    the funny thing is cocktails in norway are only allowed to have 1 20ml shot of booze
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    so..... yeah
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    we're used to only having a thimbleful of booze
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Booo.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    same thing if you want whisky on the rocks or something, you can't get a double
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    but you could buy as many shots of whisky (or anything else) as you want and ask for a glass of ice and pour them in
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    it's dumb
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Maybe.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    There was a comparison of the number of Ibuprofen poisonings before and after they limited the maximum dosage per box or per pill (i'll look that up). No limit on the number of boxes you can still buy as many as you want, so people argued it was pointless.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    But the number of (accidental) poisonings dropped because drinking an entire package of ibuprofen pills went from "I need a new liver" to "I need a new box of Ibuprofen".
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Here we have ketoprofen that used to be prescription-only because of the risk of toxic dosages, but then they halved the dose per pill and sell them in bottles of six pills apiece instead of twenty and it doesn't need a prescription any more. Yes you can buy more than one bottle but people simply don't.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Usually accidentally overdose of ibuprofen here is from people taking like cold medicine then ibuprofen for a headache and the combination is over what they need
