INTEL used to clip leads on certain procesor chips to produce different models... I think 80386-SX vs 80386-DX. How is this different than software companies unlocking codepaths that provide extra functionality? Intellectual property can be packaged together, but doesn't mean you get everything unless you paid for everything. MS Office software cds include all their products. You pay for a license to use what you need. These greedy hacker thieves feel entitled to everything whether they pay for it or not. Would serve them right if NVDIA had a way to make their graphics boards short out and burn if found to be part of the hackers group.
