Merriam-Webster defines corrupt as "to alter from the original or correct form or version".
You're probably getting downvoted for what's become a common attitude on HN: overly critical for no reason. At best, your only contribution was to correct "slightly misleading wording" (in your opinion).
- bajsejohannes 14y agoThanks for the feedback. When I think about it, I guess my reaction was mostly because the title says Super Mario was completed "by Corrupting the RAM" (the keyword being "by"). To me, that sounds like the exploit was done by corrupting the memory outside of the game. Like an external program that would modify the RAM or by going in on the physical layer somehow. This feels more like it was completed "by exploiting corrupted memory". So I was a bit confused when reading the article at first. But I'm fine now :)
