i don't change anything on my x-box... i don't think it is really cool or wise to do so. i mean sure you may be getting a great look. but are you sure thats all you are getting on your x-box? i mean some viruses are really sneaky and some are in sheeps clothing so to get past the firewall. next thing you know your credit card number is stolen. so i just keep my x-box the way it is only downloading what mircosoft gives me. besides... i like them the way they are... they are just better that way...

say wha? ...wtf are you talking about? A great look? Do you know the purpose of hacking an xbox? And um, do you keep your CC# on your xbox? And you insinuate you are safe only downloading what micro$oft gives you...need I bring up Code Red, Code Red II, MS Blaster, Saphire, etc - all of these worms were based on default install product defects that micro$oft released. Hell, I can debunk M$ all damn day.
Though I'm not quite sure you understand the positive financial aspects of hacking the xbox I will also tell you it's not all about that. It's about expanding your knowledge, about taking a system that micro$oft says will only work how they want it and making it do what the hell you want it to - after all you paid for it - why not use it to its full potential (that they limit). It's about breaking the boundaries and learning more....hell....its hacking.
Better that way? I'll make a few more points then I'll /end rant. Better eh? > You use yours to watch DvD's? I do (though I have a DvD player). Did you buy that $30 dongle attachment? I didn't - I did it for free. I can also watch downloaded movies - mpeg, avi, asf, wmv. A stock xbox can't do that even with the dvd dongle. > Ever used your xbox as a computer (for thats all it is)? I have - it ran Linux for a few weeks with a USB keyboard and mouse hacked on. Browsed the net, wrote email, even wrote/compiled some programs to get a feel for the environment. > My front LED's are different colors, it has a USB female port dropping under the front panel, my controller dongles glow green and red, I built a HDD monitor LED circuit which is waiting to be installed, I boot an X-ecuter BIOS and EvoX dashboard, it makes it different - not a M$ clone just like everyone elses. So it also promotes individuality.
And sheeps clothes don't get past iptables ; ) /end rant need more info?
wait back in the rant for one more sec: In the financial area again: My xbox, bought for $150, is now worth over $2k.
Okay now REALLY /end rant. If you have any more questions or arguments I'll be glad to answer or debunk them. ; ) -DarC
edit: removed those damned graphic smileys. -and after looking back at my "hacking your xbox promotes individuality" shpill I've decided that it sounds like I'm calling everyone else communists and sheep...while that may be the case, if everyone hacked their xbox it just wouldn't be as cool....and we'd all be communists and sheep....or communist sheep....(U.S.S.R. - United Socialist Sheeps Republic) /end insanity

The next situation, who's smarter: the darkness that dooms through the night, or the darcness that sleeps through the day? Same thing you may assume, but you would be ignorant to do so.
Only one knows the supreme powers that lie beneath the box. Only one can produce a masterful product. Only ONE owns the name. ONLY ONE

(apologies in advance to micro$oft pawns...i mean customers - as soon as I read Fire Wolf's post I thought of this: )
BTW if you use XP, you've just defeated your argument by forfeiting your claim to being an intelligent human being. Wait a second...if you use any m$ software....
Anyway - now that we're thoroughly off topic - shall we start a win vs Lin thread - I will dominate ; )

DarC dose not use xp !!!!!!!!
You don't understand linux You probably never will but those who do understand it know that its better.
M$ even used to use Apache servers , and whenever they have problems "I dunno how they could have problems with there windows servers ........" they switch immeaditly to apache linux based servers.
