CCs are never written to the hard drive. If your local law enforcment wants to follow up and make a request for information on the box in question that may help locate the thief if they hook up the box and turn it on. Sadly, it's often difficult to get law enforcment to make such a request...

Direct from the owner of Xbox Live policy: Here is the to do: If your Xbox 360 is stolen you should first consider recovering your Gamertag to another Xbox 360. This will prevent the thieves (or the people the thieves sell the Xbox to) from using your account. You will be able to recover...

Find another xbox and recover your live accounts onto that; it'll prevent the thief from purchasing things on your account. File a police report. There is a point of contact that the police can use for requesting information on a stolen Xbox, but IIRC, such information can only be released...

FYI, the support guys are doing some retraining to try and prevent this type of social engineering: http://www.majornelson.com/archive/2007/03/23/xbox-live-security-update.aspx

Just don't give out your personal information. and after reading their quote, remember take thing you read on the web with a bit of salt http://gamerscoreblog.com/team/archive/2007/03/21/543163.aspx

We're still in the process of putting together a new resource site (http://creators.xna.com/) but there is already some useful info there. As far as languages go, there's only one supported language, C#. I've seen people get code up and running in F# and managed C++, on both the PC and...

Frank was running that on a dev kit, and those have always come with 60GB drives. BTW, the final 1.0 release was put up on live and MSDN a couple hours ago: http://msdn.microsoft.com/directx/xna/gse/ :)

Works for me:string str = "dobedobedo... Title=\"Test Page\" huh?"; Console.WriteLine(Regex.Match(str, "Title=\"(.*)\"").Groups[1]); So, lets look at what you're doing: this: Regex.Match(S, @"Title="".*""") means: find a substring in S bounded on the left by Title=" followed by any...

So you have something like: MyAspNetApp calls MyAspNetHelperlibrary calls MyDbWrapperLibrary It's just a matter of creating a StackTrace and walking that, looking at the Assembly that each stack frame comes from. Why are you trying to do this though? Changing behavior based on the...

Yup, references tell the compiler what to bind the code against. The using statements just import namespaces, but a given namespace can span multiple libraries, or there can be multiple alternate implementations of a given namespace.

I haven't used web\load tests within VSTT, but normally when tests are added to a solution, a vsmdi file is automatically added to the solution. The vsmdi file is a list of tests that you want to run, so you can enable\disable them or keep them organized in different lists. So check the...

Finally got a chance to play, and I'd have to say I like it. For me it's somewhere between FF7 (linear story, shared tech\magic, artistic world), and Gladius (grid combat). It's running @720 on my display, and it looks nice to me. There are plenty of active effects on the walls and other...

Been following this one for a while, as it's supposed to be a bit of a throwback to older RPGs, just what I've been looking for. Just haven't gotten a chance to pick it up and try it. :|

No prob... CAS is a real thing of beauty to paranoid computer security people everywhere :). But it does require some reading to use it properly.

That’s the standard disclaimer, Microsoft shouldn't be liable for information and help that I provide on my own time. In this case though, it’s not personal opinion, many of my coworkers are at http://www.microsoftgamefest.com/ right now doing presentations on the XNA Framework and Express...
