   Installing Linux on the Microsoft Internet Fridge
  Well considering XBox has been the latest whipping boy for hackers exploiting Microsoft just for being Microsoft (there was a better reason?). I am just wondering if there are any decent links on installing Linux on the Microsoft Internet Fridge. It would surprise me if there wasn''t.I don''t actually have an Internet Fridge with me (and my landlord does not allow one--I have a messhall for that), but I think I would find it an interesting read 
  WTF?????Microsoft Internet FRIDGE?????????????????????goddamn i thought microsoft was bad before....holy jesus...They ARE trying to take over the world... ;  A mate of mine has a fridge with LAN access. It keeps track of what products you put in it (via the UPC code, I suppose) but the subscription service isn''t present yet so the feature is worthless.Is this the same kind of thing? Or is the fridge actually capable of surfing the web and looking at porn?   Resist everyoneI am your only friend. Click here for more information. (MOVED);  Just wait for the next version, when it comes bundled with Broccoli 2005. ;quote:Original post by Andrew Russell  Just wait for the next version, when it comes bundled with Broccoli 2005.

And yes, that subscription service would have been there, but then there was the dot com bomb, which kind of killed the Microsoft Internet Fridge in its tracks.   -=-DakeDesu :: More woman than you can handle... wait, does this signature make me look fat?Variables Coming sometime in the near future.

Didn't see you meant XBox That people, is an example of a bad reason to blame Microsoft. Technically, under those reasons, you could also decide to hack everything that comes out of the Mozilla Project, Various Kazaa wannabes, the Sendmail project, and various others. Yes, a good portion of the internet uses Mozilla (though not enough), and Mozilla, while technically not what I would consider an open source project, has several security flaws. There are various things I do not agree with Mozilla, but Firefox is one of the best browsers (please, just to keep from a flamewar other decent browsers I use are Galeon, Opera, Konquorer and Advant... if you know others that should be on the list, do not flame me. I am using Konquorer right now, so I do not not have the ye' ol' Mozilla twig up my... er... yeah).Sendmail is notorious for various security flaws, often having system admins put it inside jails just so anybody getting into the sendmail through security flaws cannot mess with anything other than sendmail.Then there are the Kazaa wannabes, which are picked on just as much as Microsoft.There are plenty of ways to direct toys, and actual skill (very rare), other than in the direction of Microsoft. Just that requires slightly more research, as the Microsoft information is more prevaillent.quote:Original post by Code_Dark   Also, what the f^%ck is a "Microsoft Internet Fridge"? Please link me to this, it sounds like a horrible plan for global domination to little old me...What? Does nobody remember the Microsoft Intenet Fridge? It was detailled in Bill Gate's book "the Road Ahead," which he then built several of them, but they kind of disappeared when the dot com bomb happened in 2001. They were on the news and everything.Please don't make me feel old and have to dig out an old newstory  edit: well, a ZDNet news story shows it kind of how I remember it.-=-DakeDesu :: More woman than you can handle... wait, does this signature make me look fat?Variables   Coming sometime in the near future.

Not for me of course, I''m bound to linux vibrators only
