X-Box Hackers Trying to Blackmail Microsoft?

wumarkus420 writes "According to this article from CNet News, an anonymous X-Box security research team is threatening Microsoft: either release a digitally-signed official Linux bootloader or face the release of a new exploit that supposedly works without a modchip. While I doubt Microsoft 'negotiates with terrorists,' this should still turn out to be a good I-told-you-so if the exploit is verified." Sounds like a good way to end up in jail.

I knew linux users could get obsessive, but I didn't realize it had reached this level...

Have you ever actually read slashdot?

Sound like Highschool

The trick is, kick somebody's ass on the first day, or become somebody's bitch. Sounds like my High School. I went to and all -male school in the Southern Caribbean, five years, you start at 11 graduate at 16 and can optionally do two more years for some extra certifications.

I got harrassed for the first couple of weeks till I took a chair to the back of some guys head. Then I figured out how the system works. If people think you're a pyscho they pretty much leave you alone. So I praticed staring at people without moving my eyes, whenever anyone got in my face.

Probably wouldn't work in prison though, I fight like a girl.

Completley off-topic but my Karma can't get any worse as it is.
