Dreamcast runs Linux, Can the Xbox
Lindows CEO funds $200,000 Xbox hacking contest. Michael Robertson is offering $200,000 in prize money in a contest to translate the Linux operating system to Microsoft's Xbox. Robertson said Microsoft's efforts to close off the Xbox are particularly alarming because the game machine is based on the same type of Intel processors used in PCs. Restricting access to the processor sets a dangerous precedent, he said, particularly as Microsoft moves forward with its Palladium project to boost the security of PCs by linking future versions of the Windows operating system with Intel and Advanced Micro Devices processors.

Amen brother! Can you donate an Xbox, I don't have one? More here.

 

It's the day
Yes today is the day that tommEE pickles birthdaycon and CES and AVN start. I am leaving LA at 3pm and should be in Vegas by 7PM. We will be at the bar in the Mandalay and we will be drunk. Sorry I haven't posted in a while but Crazysage flew in from Denver and the planning of the party has wiped me from the posting for a while. The MSN butterflies are at CES so look out for the pictures of me and the butterflies in jail.
