Re: Sony to patch copy-protected,

/me hangs his sad little head.

If you can find a copy of IDA pro installed on any of my boxes I'll
freak.  I have yet to sit down and tinker with it yet...

If I'm not mistaken IDA pro is a debugger like SoftICE and the last
time I used a debugger, I debugged my Windoze and broke it.  I've been
a little slow to pick it back up since.  Though through time it is
inevitable that I will tinker again...  I just need to find the jar
that my balls fell into when I pulled that little stunt.  I know it's
around here somewhere...
