Posted by michael on from the trusted-computing dept.

hikeran writes "The Register has an article about how Xbox live service is now apparently banning Xboxes that have been mod chipped. Basically it seems this is one of the many uses of those unique id's used in Microsoft's software. Next up bannings for using foul language on Xbox live service?? Be careful what you say.. you may be playing with an Xbox Live admin..."

    oh fuck you old man. I am 23. I am not trying to sound "older". It's how I talk when I get pissed off, when I am happy, or just whenever...

    I would think differently about this if it was a FREE service, but it's not. I am paying to play these games online, I expect to do as I please.

    It's "their service" when they offer it for free, it's "my service" when I pay a monthly fee to access it.

    that pisses me the hell off 'cause your innocent little head is too good to hear certain combinations of sounds made in succession... profanity is a socially imbued idea that does nothing but 'cause people like you to shake your finger for no good reason. Get over it and join the real world.
