Hi, well it finally happened. I came back home after work, connected my XBOX to the internet and went into the XBOX-Live menu configuration. Well what happened. The XBOX started automaticly downloading the new crappy XBOX-Live dashboard, which is of course fixed. This is IMHO an act of computer sabotage. I have never allowed MS to modify my dashboard or to auto update my dashboard. Is any lawyer on the list who can point me to the right paragraphs? I do not believe this computer sabotage is legal in any european country. Yours, Stefan Esser
You gave those scoundrels at Microsoft your money, and are now surprised that they behave like... scoundrels? The box was already chipped and keyed against /you/ when you bought it. That doesn't sound like a good purchase decision - unless you are informed of the nature and limitations this represents. It sounds like you have some idea about this: You say 'it /finally/ happened'. Xbox is spyware and a testbed for NGSCB/Palladium. They don't make enough ten-foot-poles to keep this stuff away. - --Jeremiah Cornelius -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.3 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQE/YLmQJi2cv3XsiSARAmGlAKDQGPT9AJOFDPIMgbdc286awGtTMgCdGo5W tenyeL1WRXexN4bm5xX6Q0A= =ZhoI -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ Full-Disclosure - We believe in it.
