Now, I've heard of some pretty bad things about the Xbox One, but this takes the cake. Apparently, a five-year-old was able to break into his father's Xbox Live account by filling the password section with spaces. Let me repeat that. This kid spammed the spacebar to play his dad's games. So, this kid discovered the trick, and got away with it until shortly after Christmas (no idea on why it took so long for the news to pick it up). His parents (finally) realized their son was playing games he wasn't supposed to, and the father (who works in computer security) asked him how he did it. Basically, after the console is given a bad password, there's a password verification screen. Spam a bunch of spaces and you're in. Microsoft discovered this backdoor and promptly fixed it, and bestowing on the young lad four new games, $50 (likely in Xbox Live), and a year's Gold membership on Live. The boy is also mentioned on a list of security researchers in March this year. Moral of the story? "Newer" does not always mean "more secure".

This finally happened. You have no idea how happy am I right now. :P

I think the moral of the story is if you find a backdoor, you should exploit it to the point companies are buying you free games.

Hi, I'm LEGOBuilderFreeSpace92. You should meet my friends LEGOScholarGameTheorist96 and AUSDevAliceBioshock94.

Uhm, yeah. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OlUglQT4H5M&feature=youtu.be

Realizing that I payed for a $70 mic and have yet to do something worthwhile with it, I decided to finally do a Let's Play, and chose Goat Simulator for that Let's Play! Enjoy! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eYuxu7LhKkI

[10:19:48 AM] Jamesster: alcom, if there were a way to make money from it, you should dedicate your life to providing funny blog comments [10:19:59 AM] Alcom1: That's what Twitter is for.

Hey guys, I will be launching a new website/project very shortly called ParamDB. Put simply, it's a database to store known application parameters. It's freely editable to everyone and requires no user account to add the database. It's made to be quick & easy to use and allows you to simply enter in a name of an application to search. To give you an idea on what it looks like: The website will be available from: www.paramdb.com (when It's online). I expect to bring it live sometime in this next week.

Well, this is awkward. It's been months since I last started enforcing the pants policy. Who the hell was doing my job in the meantime? Clearly, they weren't doing a good job of it, since I see MULTIPLE infractions in this topic... Anyways. You're already well acquainted, so yeah. May the pants be with you.

What gets me is that they rewarded the boy (though what he did was "good" in the sense the issue is now fixed), but he was doing things he was not supposed to be doing. I wonder what the dad had to say about that.

does anybody have a link for that? This should work.

just a tip, not very many people like always using comic sans and a different colour. Hey, at least it's not an eye bleed colour clash.

I've noticed that! Yeah, the person who introduced me to this place warned me about it...and I'm enjoying it quite a bit...well, the problem is that I don't really have enough time for anime because of school and I like doing other things, but it's a real treat when I sit down and watch any. The biggest conflict I have is when I go to watch any, I have so many on my list already that I soon feel guilty and don't watch at all... *sighs* It's a terrible cycle.

It's a brilliant game, other games is just empty boring mass. I need to play it.

I was planning on doing each pair seperately, like you and Rob one day, Fush and Brigs the next day, and so on, as long as times aren't an issue. I'm waiting for everyone to say they're ready before continuing, then I'll probably do a mass PM to everyone to set up the times they can be on. Or something... I'll get it figured out once everyone replies.

I love this guy's stopmotions. They are freaking hilarious. Maybe they're not up your street, but they're definitely up my street. Here are his best (my opinion) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-FcQ9SUXANo http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vbvaSm1OSuM http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MNERL6rRAf8 Note: After the credits he always has a little cutscene and his signature annoying noise.

Hopefully more will come of this. Great for you!

Sorry for the delay, but I think it's time to get a move on. The RRU Build Wars Championship #1 is ready to go. Players are set, the Bracket is finished, everything ready to go. If there are any problems, or you can't make it, let me know now. Also tell me if you can still compete. If you don't within the next few days, I will send a warning PM. If no reply within 2 days after that sent PM, you will be disqualified and someone who wants to join will take your place.

[3:26:00 PM] [sGT] Alcom Isst: I wish I recorded what happened when I first tried to get rid of Norton. [3:26:15 PM] [sGT] Alcom Isst: It tried to eat my CPU. In response to McStudz's post, I don't like soda at all.

http://youtu.be/Q-txmJ8sBFM That's all I can say without exploding, it's just too much...

Well I have already dumped my opinions on the matter on anyone who will listen (and many who would rather not) but I will just reiterate: HOLY CRAP THE PIECES. It's like LEGO decided to take all of their most useful elements, throw them in a bag and sell them for super cheap. And they did. WHAT'S NOT TO LOVE?

Yeah, but MrEightThreeOne already mentioned that. Also, post bumps are usually handled this way, not with a PM. Let me introduce you to my friend (acquaintance?) McJobless.

So It's kinda like this: : ARE YOU READY TO LE? : ARE YOU READY TO LE? *The planet Earth Explodes* That's why we need to stop him! Before it gets too- READY TO LE?
