Re: Hacker Claims to Demonstrate an Exploit to Mod a Wii U System and Mario Kart 8

This comment section is very annoying. HACKERS =/= CHEATERS They are only going to use this hack to make custom tracks, music, characters, etc. And this is coming from MrBean35000vr. The same guy that added 200+ tracks to MKW, and is one of the reasons you can still play MKW online.

And for those thinking that others will use his work to find ways to cheat online, he doesn't release his mods in a way to allow that. To this day no one else knows how he hacked the menu to make room for 50+ more cups.

@unrandomsam These stages are meant to measure an individual's progess. They don't apply well to entire countries. If you meant the average stage of an adult in America... maybe it would work... but these stages are hard to measure for an individual. To estimate a whole of the United States would require too much generalization and extrapolation.

Besides it would best be measured as a bell curve as they are always under and extra-developed, with a majority in the middle. But as far as your hypothesis, who said that the people actually changed? Maybe the "lesser developed" have just become more vocal and have more to the power than the others? Certainly this would make it seem as if the entire country has fallen, instead of it just having worse and worse representation.

@ejamer Wow I spawned some kind of philosophical discussion... cool? I guess I sort of failed at what I was trying to communicate. My original response was to where @PlywoodStick quoted "What I'm doing is technically illegal, but I don't feel it's ethically or morally wrong." This implies he has an internal set of values that say it would be "unjust" to be punished for something that isn't ethically or morally wrong. He also wasn't being selfish as he is willing to pay the fine if he has to.

Or as PlywoodStick said, "That... may be a deeper message than he intended." I was trying to discuss more of the idea behind the quote then the artist himself... and was trying to answer this part of Plywood's post:

"We follow bad laws all the time in our societies, and yet we reject good yet unlawful things... such is the nature of civilization.
'Follow the law because it is the law, no matter what.' To that, I say...
Why bother following a bad law? Is that the true nature of humanity to do so?"
