Thank You! I've been wanting to say something like this for a while. Half the posts in this story are "haha, they use ISS, their site is down, ISS sucks!" Please people, it's common sense, apache is down just as often as ISS is. Oh, and btw, it's NOT slashdotted, it has too many users, try checking back later, other people have and have gotten the article.
But, if god is always watching you, wouldn't he know who you are anyway? Well, we're all going to hell for something or other according to the Christian religion, let's all bask in the tremendous fun of it ^.^
It's too bad they probably won't get the 100k. In order to get the files onto the xbox, you need to use a prior exploit that DOES require something(007 save, swapping HDD etc).
because Microsoft feers it....
Actually, the reason Linux is on the PS2 is for development reasons, originally. The software running the PS2 is based on linux iirc, so they put out a whole distro or something to work on PS2. Only problem with this is, it's a specialized distro, and I don't think there are any others that boot on PS2(some proprietery program used during boot or something so they didn't have to release the source to it)
As for why no XBox.... well, it's Microsoft, I mean, come ON, would you let people change the operating system on your video game system to one that causes problems?
Anyone imagine what Microsoft will do about this? Will they stop at just getting this off the net and getting some false, inflated damages? Or will they go all out and try to get the makers in jail. I know it's not a software program from outsiders, so what will Microsoft do? Patch the Dashboard? Will that be enough? Will this ever go away, or will Microsoft be haunted by it forever...

Just a heads up, EMP are real things, atleast the theory is. And I do agree, I'd love a small EMP generator, right when my teachers are about to put in my grades, shut down the computers, then make a deal to bring them back up for better grades;)
I agree that devoting money to research them COULD be benefitial and win/win, but that's assuming that we actually GET them. If all we did was throw money at people and expect them to come up with something, we'd be out a lot of money and severely disappointed. Likewise, if we give the people money, but they can't come up with anything, then that's 'more wasted money into research' as most people probably would see it. We've got to be careful, and not assume all research will be positive.
Lindows picked that name because it's supposed to be an integration of Linux and Windows for the casual linux user or a windows user who wants a GOOD os. If you think the problem is that lindows is just doing this to piss of microsoft, you're wrong

...or takes over the computer system and wreaks havoc on our ships and rovers
Ah, ty, I seemed to remember it needed the soldering no matter what. So, I wonder if they really WILL get that 100k =/

If the wheel hasn't been used in decades, maybe it could use a little reinventing.

I have the original Jukebox, and this new one is gonna be even better. I only wish it were out right now. Anyone got any info on the cost?
This is so funny. This is so obveously fake I don't see why anyone would beleive it!
Maybe we should do something along the lines of: No Grey Matter Inside Wonder how that would go down at Intel
