No-Solder Modchip For The Xbox

Posted by timothy on from the play-as-you-please dept.

toothfish writes "There's a review of the latest generation of Xbox modchip over at xbox hacker- no solder, flashable BIOS, 15 min. install, etc. Stuff like this should make it easier for the average Xbox user to run emulators, Linux, and such. No word if it does or does not work in the latest iteration of Xbox though. Anyone from australia order one of these guys yet?"

    I know! Linux is nowhere near that elegant.. ; )

    (Just think of the security mechanisms on the X-Box as a challenging chastity belt. Ah, young love..)

    No, RMS, Linux is not GNU/Linux

    "One guy, Linus Torvalds, used GCC to make his operating system (yes, Linux is an OS -- more on this later). He named it 'Linux' with a little help from his friends. Why doesn't he call it GNU/Linux? Because he wrote it, with more help from his friends, not you. You named your stuff, I named my stuff -- including the software I wrote using GCC -- and Linus named his stuff. The proper name is Linux because Linus Torvalds says so. Linus has spoken. Accept his authority. To do otherwise is to become a nag. You don't want to be known as a nag, do you?"

    LINUX use is growing 30% / year!

    "Linux use is growing 30 per cent year-on-year and while it hasn't been targeted as much, Linux is going to be targeted. Any application - open source or otherwise - will have weaknesses," he added.

    ...AND SLASHDOT published astronomy shit on frontpage... not these NEWS!

    You are so funny ! How did you come up with such an original joke ? You are a comedy genius, only rivaled by Robin Williams and Jim Carrey.

    What about this one ?

    1)Sell an illegal chip to run illegal Linux on XBox
    2)????
    3)profit ?

    and what about this one ?

    In A.D. 2001
    Xbox was beginning.
    Gates: What happen ?
    Ballmer: Somebody set up us the modchip.
    Allen: We get signal.
    Gates: What !
    Allen: Main TV screen turn on.
    Gates: It's You !!
    Linus: How are you gentlemen !!
    Linus: All your XBox are belong to us.
    Linus: You are on the way to destruction.
    Gates: What you say !!
    Linus: You have no chance to survive make your time.
    Linus: HA HA HA HA ....
    gates: Take off every 'DRM' !!
    Gates: You know what you doing.
    Gates: Move 'DRM'.
    Gates: For great world domination.

    LOL ! ROTFLLMAO ! You and I are so funny ! We rule Jerry Seinfeld ! We ridicule the Monty Pythons ! We terrorize Matt Stone and Trey Parker !
