Isn't that great... getting people to hack the company that you are up against in court... lol

Looks like he's got quite a few tricks up his sleeve... They're pullin out the big guns.
They're gonna need them.

He's even trying to sue M$ over the copyright for Windows.

Hehe, very interesting articles, thanks for posting.

This fella is a trip, but he's fighting, in a sense, for some fairly worthy causes. While MicroSoft has obviously the upper hand in fights between the two (because of money and backup), these guys are really putting up a fight. Cheers to them.

Hip Hip Hurrrrrrrraaaaaayyyyyyyyy, M$ has a challeneg. Yeah jehnny, cheers to them for sure, I hope they come out on top.

certainly someone from here can hack the xbox and then give jp the money and he wont have to sell AO any more :) just a thought Im also taking donations.

If it helps I know how to flash the bios let me know
