How many have chimed in against e-bay_dude selling ppcgeeks stuff. This is about the same to me...

I was reading a article in the Globe a couple months back. They were saying they were going to make everything that we do here Illegal ie REMOVING ELECTRONIC LOCKING SYSTEMS FROM ANY DEVICE

You'll want to read some of my Rom building tutorials first. There are a 3-4 diamond kitchens @ xda's , Toby's/ghettorfreeryders on the ftp, and there's that ppckitchen.org that will probably be adding support for the diamond some time soon....

Are you talking about the Globe and Mail? I believe you're talking about hte upcoming bill C-61.

Keep in mind that this site is mostly American, and what we do up here in Canada doesn't have much impact on the States.

Keep in mind that this side is mainly focused on the CDMA diamond, so when choosing a kitchen to cook your ROMs, use the correct kitchen!

Thank goodness for that

Hmm.. about 1/3 of people would actually like a ROM Service so far...

About 40% believe this is a bad idea for reasons other than it already being easy.

Most of my tutorials are fairly generic. They should apply for the diamond too, and give good general knowledge. Same principles, maybee some different kitchen tools...

Wow, poll results:

12 for custom service

30 against.

If you check the vogue upgrade forum, their sorta having world war III over there and slowly ousting chefs with donation buttons. It is happening and this board is losing users as they are jumping ship and going elsewhere... It's not what it used to be...

There are no morality issues here.

Ethical issues, perhaps. The issues for me are (1) profiting from the reuse of work of numerous chefs, (2) profiting from the use of tools and source material of questionable legality.

The hacker in me has no issue with the activities in (1) and (2), but the profit is an issue. Kind of like people seliing burned copies of DVD's on eBay for profit.
