Indeed, you are likely correct. I would never condone such
action<br>
it was meant in jest, however I am much less known here and<br>
I left off a smiley, so people could take it the wrong way. (I
participate<br>
in other lists more actively..)<br><br>
As a CTO, and 19 years in IT, I am more impressed by successfully<br>
defending a system, rather then successfully attacking it.<br>
Attacks are easy. Some just more "unique" than
others.<br><br>
No one ever crashed fuel loaded jets in to a financial building<br>
before 9/11. Don't make them geniuses for coming up with<br>
the idea.<br><br>
Sorry for the implication that the action was welcomed.<br><br>
EA still pisses me off more than any other<br>
company out there, but your assessment would be in-line with EA's<br>
record to date. I just hope in 2-3 months they really come
through.<br>
It seems like it was an eternity, but the patch on the memory bug,<br>
regardless of how it got past Q/A, was still relatively quick. Not
fast<br>
enough for us, but if it were Dice, would likely had been out there<br>
in 72 hours...<br><br>
My indications of past MOH fame really don't play here because we<br>
are still talking about Dice. EA may pull the strings on release,
but<br>
I would bet they don't have that website up for laughs and
giggles..<br><br>

From EA UK Forums: <br><br>
Apparently somebody hacked the BF2 Stats database and unlocked all
weapons<br>
for all PIDs between 40,000,000 and 45,000,000,<br><br>
Not sure if this is what happened. <br><br>
