You cannot be serious. No one has said it's impossible and the difference between a hack and someones less informed OPINION is NOW plain for YOU to see. Now you have seen the very very rare real deal you still gosta SPECULATE. FFS man get a grip of reality.
Yes, Lynx, I am quite serious. If you believe that the only possible hacks are airshow smoke, ju-88s with a ridiculous turn radius and a zillion bombs, ponies launching hundreds of missiles, and such, you are naive. It would be just as possible to fire up a more subtle hack and use it on a regular basis. I have been on the other side for a long time--I really do believe that most of what people see as 'hacks' are not. Now, I am not so sure.
And I think HTC needs to take that uncertainty seriously, for a change. The policy has been denial and suppression of information to date, and that's not going to work any more. Researching this iwin2000 dude shows that there are a bunch of people out there that get a kick out of this kind of thing, and HTC needs to (in my opinion) openly face the issue with the community, show that they are making an effort to stop it, and return some faith in the integrity of their product to the customers.
Someone suggested that moderators be able to ground hackers, and that would be a good thing as long as the hacker CAN be grounded. Letting those people screw up the MA for several hours yesterday was VERY bad publicity for HTC.
