To all those who said hefty dev stuff should be more securely kept away in xbones, I present this:



In reality, this would overwrite all of your hard drive with random data. What should we do in that case. Disallow the operating system from writing to the hard drive?

It's really impossible to stop people from shooting themselves in the foot. They'll always find a way. The key to solving this is education.

Not necessarily.

Fucking up your HD is not as bad as bricking your Xbox.  Unless you have a lot of unbacked up data you need.

Which most people dumb enough to believe this crap will probably have.

I disagree. Your HDD is likely to have stuff that's *actually* important. Xbone is for video games and watching shitty movies.

The Xbone is better because Kinect and gamerscore.

YOU CAN STILL USE YOUR LOGIN ON THE OLD CONSOLE OMG

That works on the PS4 as well I'd assume.

I'm not a PC gamer because I'm not a computer expert.  It's as simple as that.  If assembling, modifying, and customizing computers came as easily to me as it apparently does to all the enthusiasts on the Internet, then I'd probably become one too.  You can say it's "easy" or "obvious" all you want, but it's not to me.  And I'm not alone.  Like it or not, the vast majority of people don't understand computers well enough to become a competent PC gamer.  It's not because we're stupid or lazy, or because we're all strictly "casual" gamers, it's because we have different interests, different strengths and weaknesses, etc.  People are like that.  Consoles are popular because they don't require that level of investment and technical expertise.  And alas, the PC gaming community will most likely never understand this, and will therefore never understand why the rest of the gaming community sees them as arrogant pricks.

What a dumbass.  It's not that hard to build a computer, moron.  You should try it yourself if you ever get tired of being a dirty console peasant.  Also:

It still completely blows my mind that you play Kingdom Hearts. This is the only time I'll say this but Rushy, you're adorable.

The liars on here.

That was the start of it. How cute.

I think posting deliberately destructive code like this should be a criminal offense. It costs people time and money. And I don't mean a kid reposting it on 4chan. I mean they should hunt down the original author and look to give them 15 years in prison. If you total up all the damage that is done by all the reposting of this ... it going to be a lot of money. It is a serious crime and the NSA and GCHQ should put energy into finding people like this to prosecute.

How do you propose that the original author be hunted down? And, were the NSA to hunt down said person, it is likely they would be Russian or Chinese. What would we do? Request an extradition that will be completely ignored? Invade?

In computer security, defense is everything. Concentrating on eliminating offense oriented malware is a waste of time.
