I agree. In fact, looking at what speedpatch does, it may in fact help with some issues where scripts are used. In particular, where scripts are called for taking actions based on real-time feedback (dbus-scripting for example). But it's not something that's going to help the common user for the most part.

My bigger issue right now is with batterypatch, since it's doing some pretty nasty things, like severe over-clocking and using configurations known to be unstable on most hardware. (SR1 enable for older kernels & over-clocked settings, using 125Mhz at all, etc.)

I don't have problems with people wanting to help out and code things. I take exception though when people make destabilizing, and in some cases potentially damaging mistakes, and then try to defend those mistakes when they don't understand what it is they've done. In this case both freemangordon, myself, and others, have on several occasions asked why he's doing things, and he's repeatedly replied with "it's all based on testing" to "I don't know why it works".

Sorry, but I wouldn't let someone who thinks they may know how to do heart surgery based on practicing on others (and causing issues for / killing several patients) anywhere near me. No difference here. Nor would I want them to freely be practicing medicine while clearly not knowing what they're actually doing. Thus why I'm here: Lots of people have had issues after installing these patches, and when anyone tries to help those people and tells them to not use speedpatch/batterypatch again, Karam get's all defensive and asks why everyone is attacking him.

It would be just like a doctor maiming people, then suing other doctors who advise patients not to go back to the doctor that maimed them. Does that sound sane? If you were a patient in that waiting room, wouldn't you want someone to come in and tell you he's maimed several other people, and you should run now, while you have the chance? Sure, some are always going to go back to the witchdoctor... that's their choice. But how can you tell which ones are good or bad without being able to talk about doctors in general? Without talking about the treatments, how they work, and what proof exists to show it's actually doing good?
