Xbox Linux Made Possible Without a Modchip

An anonymous reader writes "Free-X have released an exploit for the Xbox that will let you get Linux on the machine without any hardware mods at all... Microsoft is already threatening them with legal action. Here's the Free-X statement. Free-X say they had been trying to contact MS for a month but were ignored, which is why they've released the exploit. Should be interesting to watch this one."

    How the fuck are you supposed to get the consent of a group of people who can't even agree on which desktop is best and will fork code at the drop of a hat? It is easier to herd cats.

  2. THIS IS THE REASON US IS A TERRORIST REGIME by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    Why Your so-called government doesn't do what you want
    it to do.

    1). Colin Powell -- Secretary of State, ex-chairman of Joint Chiefs of Staff, of Jamaican origin, he has one Jewish ancestor on his father's side. He grew up in a heavily Jewish-populated neighborhood in New York, and speaks Yiddish. The first day of being picked (12/16) he said he wanted to toughen sanctions on Iraq, and will work to "re-energize the sanctions regime."

    2). Richard Perle -- One of Bush's Foreign Policy Advisors. He is chairman of the Pentagon's Defense Policy Board. He had worked as Bush's Jewish national security campaign advisor. A very likely Israeli agent, Perle was expelled from Senator Henry Jackson's office in the 1970's after the National Security Agency (NSA) caught him passing Highly-Classified (National Security) documents to the Israeli Embassy. He later worked for the Israeli weapons firm, Soltam.

    3). Paul Wolfowitz -- Deputy Defense Secretary, Bush's Jewish foreign policy campaign advisor, close
    associate of Israeli agent Richard Perle, and reportedly has close ties to the Israeli military.

    4). Robert Satloff -- U.S. National Security Council Advisor, Satloff was the executive director of the
    Israeli lobby's "think tank," Washington Institute for Near East Policy. Many of the Israeli lobby's
    "experts" come from this front group, like Martin Indyk.

    5). Dov Zekheim -- Under Secretary of Defense and Comptroller. He was Bush's Jewish foreign policy
    advisor and reportedly holds Israeli citizenship.

    6). Douglas Feith -- Under Secretary of Defense and Policy Advisor at the Pentagon. He is a close
    associate of Perle and served as his Special Counsel. Like Perle and the others, Feith is a pro-Israel
    extremist, who has advocated anti-Arab policies in the past. He is closely associated with the extremist
    group, the Zionist Organization of America, which even attacks Jews that don't agree with its extremist
    views. Feith frequently speaks at ZOA conferences. Feith runs a small law firm, Feith and Zell, which
    only has one International office, in Israel. The majority of their legal work is representing Israeli
    interests. His firm's own website stated, prior to his appointment, that Feith "represents Israeli Armaments
    Manufacturer." Feith basically represents the Israeli War Machine.

    7). Elliott Abrams -- National Security Council Advisor. He previously worked at Washington-based
    "Think Tank" Ethics and Public Policy Center. During the Reagan Adminstration, Abrams was the Assistant
    Secretary of State,handling, for the most part, Latin American affairs. He played an important role in the Iran-Contra
    Scandal, which involved illegally selling U.S. weapons to Iran to fight Iraq, and illegally funding the
    contra rebels fighting to overthrow Nicaragua's Sandinista government. He also actively deceived three
    congressional committees about his involvement and thereby faced felony charges based on his testimony.
    Abrams pled guilty in 1991 to two misdemeanors and was sentenced to a year's probation and 100 hours of
    community service. A year later, former President Bush (Senior) granted Abrams a full pardon. He was one of
    the more hawkish pro-Israel Jews in the Reagan Administration's State Department.

    8). Marc Grossman -- Under Secretary of State for Political Affairs. He was Director General of the
    Foreign Service and Director of Human Resources at the Department of State. Grossman is one of many of the
    Jewish officials from the Clinton Administration that Bush has promoted to higher posts.

    9). Richard Haass -- Director of Policy Planning at the State Department and Ambassador at large. He is
    also Director of National Security Programs and Senior Fellow at the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR). He
    was one of the more hawkish pro-Israel Jews in the first Bush (Sr) Administration who sat on the National
    Security Council, and who consistently advocates bombing Iraq.

    10). Henry Kissinger -- One of ma
