  • There are almost always ways to verify the correct owner for something like this… None of which it sounds like Microsoft was willing to do, as they only seemed to care about what the current password is.

    You are making an assumption that the person can’t provide any way to identify himself as the owner. The story as written states they didn’t care about anything other than the current password.






  • I worked with a guy that would tell people that coax needed to be “released to ground” occasionally, by unhooking the cable and putting your thumb over the end. That’s how he made sure people were disconnecting and reconnecting the cable from the back of the box. He also told someone that “data might be trapped in the Ethernet cord” and advised they unplug it from both ends and swing it around their head in a circle to “loosen the stuck bits and clear the line”…



  • A good Tribes game is not in the cards right now. Players should try harder to be entertained.

    (this is a play on a quote from the admins of an old Hi-Rez game called Global Agenda. During the nightly clan vs clan competitive “global map” window, the game was broken, matches wouldn’t load or crash part-way through. Players submitted a ton of tickets, and some of them were not constructive and just said “Fix the game”. Admins got butt-hurt and spammed the entire player-base with “Fixing the game is not in the cards right now. Players should try harder to win.”… I am still very salty about that…)

    Edit: Oddly enough, this was right after they launched Tribes: Ascend, just to bring the leap of context full circle.
