51% is right. The gov employes people to carefully go through and count money from accidents (fire exposed, roted, etc.) Then refunds the money as long as 51% is there.
If someone didn't have an XBOX Live
account, why the HELL would they have an ethernet cable jacked into
their box with a connection to the outside world?
There is several reasons for this. If you have a modded Xbox you
need the ethernet connection to transfer files to and from your
computer. Your modded Xbox can also update time via time
server. You can get a news ticker on your dashboard. If
you're running xbox media player you can connect to shoutcast.com
(Internet Radio). Also weather you have a modded box or not there
are to networks you can connect to and play games with other xbox
owners. www.xbconnect.com
and www.xlink.com
I bought a used xbox because I new I was voiding the warranty as soon
as I got it. I bought the xbox not for the games, but for the
capabilities of the media player. The fact that you can stream
your audio, video, and pictures to your TV really apealled to me.
The capabilities of the Xbox as a media player are tremendous and the
price is such that it's the cheapest solution. I priced out
components to build one and the price was double what I was into the
xbox.
