Are we now starting intentional crippling a feature?

Just find a guide to install them.

i'm confused. people on reddit claim that 1337 hackers bypassed the limiters, but this is saying 1337 hackers didn't, rather that nvidia's incompetence left out the limiters in a driver that was released by "accident." so what's true?

Nobody bypassed the protection, the claims were proven to be running other hashing algorithms, that's why the card were reporting more MH/s than expected.
This leaked driver indeed lacked part of the protection, but it was an internal beta (supposedly geared towards testing OpenCL under WSL), so it's pretty buggy and doesn't even work right on all cards.
A blunder on Nvidia's part, but not as monumental as the tech press would have you believe.
