And because the hardware gets deprecated the store for that generation also goes away. So even if you keep the hardware working, the games are gone. A PS3 is still useable today even with the store gone and will be useable for a very long t

Just to clarify this piece of misinformation. The police can ask for your passwords. You're not required to give them anything until they apply for a Section 49 notice of RIPA. Which they must get from a Judge. It seems to be recommend

Academia is full of dissenting opinions, it is the wet dream of any tenured professor to break tradition and create a new field or area of research and become the lead in it. Consensus is a thing, but science is not one institution, is a bu
