Microsoft to Hire Xbox Hackers?

Posted by michael on from the bare-metal dept.

handsomepete writes "According to PlanetXbox, Microsoft is looking to hire 'software design engineers' to look into the properties of modchips and detection code for hardware. A background in game hacking knowledge is listed as a preferred talent. Will any of the Xbox Linux participants take a stab at this job?"

    The '$' in 'M$' says it all. Not all Linux hackers are as idealistic as, say, Alan Cox and other known high priests of Linux. In fact, I'm pretty sure many of them would sell out if the price was high enough.

    Out of respect for those who lost their lives at the two towers, Slashdot will turn its webservers off for the duration of the day.

    Thank you for understanding.

    I'd stick a knife in the next person if it meant the difference between feeding my family and upholding my morals, and I don't apologize for it.

    And you are exactly the problem that is destroying us year after year. Selfish brutes whose humanity is limited to their immediate family, and on occasion a bit further. Thankfully, you are an exception, otherwise we would already have destroyed ourselves. Just don't try to make yourself feel better by saying that everybody is like you are. We are not all so selfish. Some of us would risk our lives for strangers, and would be sad if a loved one died, but would not resort to murder to save them.
