I now own an xbox

4:36pm by rudeboy in category: General

I know. I never thought I’d ever say those words either, but hell, it’s impressive hardware and it runs linux! The new guy at work overheard me talking about console modding. I said the only reason I’d buy an xbox would be to mod it to install linux and xbmc (and to play a healthy amount of pirated games because I’ll be damned before micro$hit gets a single one of my hard earned dollars). I also added that it would have to most likely be post-360 launch when pawn shops are forced to lower prices even further. He offered up the console, four games, extra controller and memory card for $50 and I sure as hell wouldn’t pass that up.

Now all I have to do is determine the modchip I need and figure out where to get it. This will most likely force me to buy a new soldering iron too since the one I have is old and crappy. Actually, I don’t even know where I got it.

» Venezuela sends 300 tons of food to Haiti. Bush sends 500 tons of bombs to Iraq. Chavez feeds, Bush kills.

» Build a ‘Mame Brain‘ for under $150.

» The case for net neutrality is pretty clear. Should it fail this is what you have to look forward to.

"YOUNG MEN: The lowest aim in your life is to become a soldier. The good soldier never tries to distinguish right from wrong. He never thinks; never reasons; he only obeys. If he is ordered to fire on his fellow citizens, on his friends, on his neighbors, on his relatives, he obeys without hesitation. If he is ordered to fire down a crowded street when the poor are clamoring for bread, he obeys and see the grey hairs of age stained with red and the life tide gushing from the breasts of women, feeling neither remorse nor sympathy. If he is ordered off as a firing squad to execute a hero or benefactor, he fires without hesitation, though he knows the bullet will pierce the noblest heart that ever beat in human breast.

"A good soldier is a blind, heartless, soulless, murderous machine. He is not a man. His is not a brute, for brutes kill only in self defense. All that is human in him, all that is divine in him, all that constitutes the man has been sworn away when he took the enlistment roll. His mind, his conscience, aye, his very soul, are in the keeping of his officer. No man can fall lower than a soldier it is a depth beneath which we cannot go." -Jack London
