Submission + - MS offering Core & Arcade XBOX360 users cheap (arstechnica.com)

snowraver1 writes: Arstechnica has an article that says Microsoft is finally holding a promotion to get all those Core and Arcade owners some storage space.

"Gamers need only to go an official Microsoft page and enter their serial number and console ID to see if they quality[sic]; it appears that only Core or Arcade units can take advantage of this promotion. This is Microsoft's answer to their promise of a "storage solution" in order to allow all gamers to take advantage of the new UI and Avatar functionality launching on November 19. That update will require 128MB of storage space, which would leave precious little space on the Arcade's included 256MB stick.

Submission + - Best way to crack .rar archives?

Snowraver1 writes: Occationally after downloading files from the Internet I'll notice that the file downloaded is a .rar file within a .rar file. The first "layer" of raring is not password protected, but the .rar file that gets extracted from the first archive is password protected. What I'm left with is a password protected .rar file and anger. My question to everyone here is: What is the best way to crack a password protected .rar file? I have seen some crappy shareware brute force type programs, but I was thinking something more like RainbowCrack. Is there a way to extract the password hash value from the .rar archive and use RainbowCrack to crack it?
