[Playstation 3 Clustering]

I'm sure many people have read about being able to cluster playstation 3's into a semi-supercomputer. Then Sony pushed a firmware to disable loading on other OS's. I've read that if you don't update the firmware you would still be able to load linux on. So my question is has there been a hack to allow this again, or if anyone know if you buy some new ones, if they come with the latest firmware, or if they come with the basic firmware without the update?

For those unaware of it.

[Buying a U3 drive.]

I just payed 11 USD for a 2 gig one from Walmart, it's big enough for what I'm playing around with so it really depends on what you are using it for, most of these payloads are less then 50 megs or so, if that helps.

[USB Pocket Knife - bug?]

Are you using Leapo's payload? I had a problem like this when I first started playing around with it. My problem was I didn't but the files in the correct place, I put them in different folders so it didn't know where to look for them so it just wouldn't work at all. To me, it seems like i was having the same problems as you, and any more information could help.
