So I just recently downloaded something via bittorrent. We won’t go into exactly what, but let’s just say that Firefox’s JavaScript brilliance caused it randomly consume ~100% CPU for long periods of time, which then caused my scheduled recordings to become corrupt (not really sure why, because all they have to do is write a compressed MPEG stream to disk, but it happened). The download consisted of a single .rar file, which I unrared. It expanded into two files: another rar and a “read me first.txt”. Like any good member of the male gender, I opened the documentation before continuing. <\/p>\n

Thanks for downloading the torrent file file\nTo get the pw to extract the file is simple\n1)go to www.Xboxfreebie.com \n2)input any email address it doesnt have to be yours and click submit\n3) You will see green writing on the next page.\nThe first word in green with the exclamation point is the password\nyou have to use it with the exclaimation point\nSimple huh\nEnjoy the file<\/pre>\n<\/blockquote>\n
My first instinct was to search for a new version that didn’t require me to help someone win a free XBox (or whatever — I didn’t look). But then I began to think… What would a site like XBoxFreebie.com display after you’d given them your email address? Knowing that it was a one word phrase that ended in an exclamation point narrowed my choices immensely. Congratulations!<\/b> You guessed the password.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
