I think I would have gone with "summary" personally. Resume is rarely used (in the US anyway) as describing anything but a summary of credentials and work history for the purposes of applying for employment.

Or, given that this is the internet, perhaps a "tl;dr" would be more appropriate.

Jesus, now that we're done with all the pointless bickering about language, could someone provide a Zusammenfassung? I skimmed it, and saw nichts interessantes.

Here are the important claims made in the logs:

* They have "decrypted all PSN functions."

* Sony spies on basically everything PS-related (hardware plugged in, games played, etc.) and uploads it. There are "independent checks" and history wipers, etc. don't work. This may only happen when the device is networked. They can detect backups, piracy, etc.

* It sends CC data, etc. via SSL, but leaves unencrypted logs on the HD that contain that data in the URLs visited. It may not have used SSL at all at launch.

* You can modify a few things when you download something from the PSN store to tell it that you should be getting the game for free.

* Sony monitors all messages sent over PSN, may be searching that for keywords.

* Has a big list of censor words that lives on your HD. Checks this list on receipt of a message, not sending. Easy to bypass now.

* Various worries about people creating spam apps with this data.

* Comments indicating that Sony is running old Apache servers with known vulnerabilities internally.

Watching this, I'm glad I don't have a PS3.

Most of stuff that they are talking requires use to have CFW in order to still. Hardware information are probably for statistical information and show me at least one service that they don't log messages, specially once that are hosted in the cloud. and they didnt talk anything about apatch, as long as they got this in EULA that you accepted it's fine. Best of all this log have nothing to do with the current situation, it's normal CFW development talk

Actually, neither précis nor résumé is native English. They are French, and in French they mean "summary".

"Résumé" does mean summary, but "précis" merely means "precise" in day-to-day French. Using it when you mean "summary" is incredibly old fashioned and a bit pompous; most people wouldn't even understand what you mean.

OK, cool.

Um, no. A précis is a summary. Also, we all have Google to look up words we don't know.

Not quite; I believe calpaterson was asking for a summary.

Also, I understand your point, but it isn't terribly difficult to Google "precis" and figure out the definition -- and once you do, you've added a new word to your vocabulary, which is hardly ever a bad thing.

Desigur.

Actually, I think what he was more accurately asking for was a summary--or "Cliff's Notes Version"

"Précis" is a French word, so wouldn't the fact that many people who frequent HN are non-native speakers of English mean that using a French word increases the number of people who understand?

Of course, I would have gone for tl;dr.

Sorry (and I'm sorry that you've been downvoted, that seems a bit unfair). I didn't realise it was such a unusual word. Schools in the UK often ask children to précis some longer piece of work.

I think you might have done it again though; I am very unfamiliar with the use of the word "resume" to be synonymous with summary, especially when not dealing with a human history.

Actually the fault is mine, I assumed you had used a more obscure word to appear smarter which is one of the last things we need on hacker news.

As for the alternative it was one of the things Google suggested.

Which isn't much better. "summary" is clearer.
