The crowd understood a lot more than the fact that the DVD drives firmware can be hacked or they wouldn't have been there. And he explained why it was impossible for microsoft to stop this exploit. The real exploit was that tiny discrepency between checking a 32-bit binary memory address and shifting a 64-bit one. If only microsoft hadn't been so quick. BTW you fuckers who freak out cause it's 56 mins long go play with a rubber band or something if this is too much....seriously fucking chill
