I did. It was twice. What do I win?

(my point being your chronology is not very convincing)

I've been reading the argument that people have just been banned from XBL, because modifying your console somehow violates the TOS of XBL.

However, this time the ban does not just kick you off online multiplayer, it also disables functionality to install games on the included HDD! Games already installed on that HDD will not be accessible anymore. Also, any savegame you continue playing with on the banned console will get tagged with the result that you can't copy it to any other (banned or unbanned) consoles anymore.

Since a lot of people bought the Xbox360 with the ability to install games on the internal HDD right out of the box it can be argued that MS impaired the users' hardware in some way.
Also: it is rumored that it is possible for MS to band your console through future (mandatory) updates on game discs, even if you never played online. The technical capabilites are there, but if they ever start doing that their XBL-TOS-argument will be seriously flawed.

Because your might decide NOT to confirm your number after you typed the last digit, for example if you mistyped the number or changed your mind.

Which of your porn flicks did you discover that from again?

poor boy...

...your standard geek.

What, too close to home? :)

you just WHIISH that was true...

A major one.

Holding back your zero day exploits until directly after the MS Patchday...if your bug hasn't been removed, then you have up to a full month of time to abuse it.

Clever.

With a good algorithm and a decent random number generator this should be virtually impossible.

It's somewhat like a md5sum, where modifying only a single bit in the seed changes the complete result. If these bit-changes are performed randomly, then it should be impossible to derive the "valid" keyspace.

Probably one of the grunts from within the game. Happy honeymoon.

...to read the last sentence.

Six commas...

New Guitar Hero?
New Call of Duty?
New Tony Hawk game?

SHOCKING, I say...who would have thought they are releasing sequels to their money-generating machines.
