ive had my one and only unmodded ps2 for quite a few years now and i play it requarly more then 12 hours a day. and if you were to look at the game times i have you will see what i mean. the only thing wrong with it is that the front of the drive bay came off becuase of a friend hit and it fell off. other problems that have arrived where easily fixable by just taking it apart and cleaning the lens and such unless you cout the drive not opening sometimes which can be fixed by just pressing up in the bottom corner. lol and i dont own a credit card so i wont be able to buy any chips or anything else you need to be able to play backup games on there even tho it would be good to be able to do that oh well guess im stuck with what i have. im a broke college nerd go figure about the money issues. and being blind in one eye means i wont be driving eaither so there goes a job right out the window lol not really cause i got a job offer down in texas from a loved one and i live in michigan.
Love knows no bounds.
As a cryptography and computer security expert, I have never understood the current fuss about the open source software movement. In the cryptography world, we consider open source necessary for good security; we have for decades. Public security is always more secure than proprietary security. It's true for cryptographic algorithms, security protocols, and security source code. For us, open source isn't just a business model; it's smart engineering practice.
