So, for all you poor souls who lined up to give money to the borg: does it work? Any blue-screens yet? :) Update: 11/15 15:23 GMT by M : Okay, I'm sorry. That's green screen of death, not blue screen.

    Xbox has a green interface, thus has a green screen of death.

    I'm not sure I get what you're saying...

    I originally bought the domain with the intention of making a parody/satire site spoofing Microsoft and Linux, but I don't have time to do YET ANOTHER PROJECT.

    Moving down the list of things to do with it... I am not a kernel hacker, just a surly PHP coder. I don't forsee myself hacking the X-Box anytime soon. So the next viable option was to just give it away (or sell it to some crackhead domain squatter who will throw pop-under ads all over it, no thanks).

    I have it, and I'm giving it away, please enlighten me how it could be any easier than that.
