Oh well, Bull-bot is STILL off-line. Bull, you there?

Jeez. Nowadays, they don't make bots like they did before...

Well, this is called closed-cirquit simsense (CCSS), and usually (who
am I kidding, always) it is NOT connected to the matrix. According to
the Corp Security Handbook, one of the reasons for developping CCSS
was to create a countermeasure to all those pesky deckers.

And any site that can afford CCSS is going to have drek-hot security,
so I bet they won't plug it into the Matrix...

Well, actually, we've got only SR2 rulebook in Polish. There's still
loads of SR stuff available in English. Lucky me, 'cause the
translation sucks so much they could use it to create 100% vacuum...

But that brings another question, a bit OT, maybe, but still:
What language version, besides English, was SR published in?
I know about German and French SR, and there's a Polish one now,
too...

Well, yes and no. Removing cyber is long, and what you get is
second-hand 'ware (pretty sh*tty, at least according to the SSC
rules).
And removing neural ware is next to impossible... (Well, if you have a
good clinic with cybersurgeons, maybe, but not on the street) OTOH
taking a cyberlimb requires ripping/cutting it off, so it should be
easy...

Oh, the program itself is fully functional.
Unfortunately, Dvixen set it's default output to /dev/null...
