OMG The Xobx Private Key is HUGE, LOL! The Neo Project has updated their client to brute force the Xbox's 2048-bit private key. If this key is obtained it would be possible to sign software to run on the Xbox without a mod chip. While it's a valiant effort and if you are going to crack someone's private key it might as well be Microsoft’s, keep in mind that a 2048-bit key is HUGE (like the xobx, LOL). Unless somebody lucks out and Powerballs it, it will be a long, long time before even a massive distributed attack obtains the proper key. 10:23:18 PM

Aye Carumba! http://www.jsonline.com/alive/news/jan03/108507.asp A 14-year-old Hmong girl at a hospital in Minneapolis was trying to interpret for an older family member who needed medical procedures, said Sarah Sullivan, coordinator for interpreter services for Aurora Healthcare. "They were telling her they wanted to do further X-rays. The girl told family members they wanted to microwave her. The family sued over that, for duress and emotional trauma," Sullivan said. 12:14:37 PM
