I stayed on the original green NXE (2.0.7371.0) to keep my SMC exploit and ran FreeStyleDash instead of the eye-searing later MSDashes when XBrebooting into a newer kernel https://github.com/Free60Project/wiki/blob/master/docs/Hacks...

Late night uno sessions were a lot of fun. Not everyone had a camera so voice chat was "off the chain" as they used to say

You don’t need to do anything complicated. Take a couple screenshots and crop to a slice where the rings are expanding horizontally. There is your barcode.

It just looks like a bar code that is probably easily extracted with some machine vision.

I was able pull together a Halo 3 LAN party last year, although the "consoles" were Linux PCs and the game was the MCC edition (60fps instead 30). Split-screen was resurrected via mods. I bought some Microsoft gamepad receiver to bring Xbox 360 original controllers under Linux. Some people insisted they get to play on the original gamepad (otherwise it was a mixed bag of PlayStation and newer Xbox/PC controllers). I also realized that Halo 3 itself would have been old enough to drink with us!

The Xbox 360 is about as old now as the NES was when the Xbox 360 came out.

> my first home computer was a Timex 2068.

I don't know if the Altair 8800 would count as my first home computer, as I was too young to really understand what it was and mostly just liked to play with the paper tape feed on the Teletype attached to it. By the time we got the PET 2001, I was old enough to actually use it as intended.

I still have it in a box with all its games

I still love its controller design.

I loved the Blades dashboard. Something about idly pressing the shoulder buttons to flip through the blades while talking to my friend with that goofy wireless "Xbox communicator" on my ear.

Blades was better than the redesign

Your original question sounded like you were unaware of how licensing music works. Royalty-free is a good place to start. If you want anything else, you can still do it legally, you just have to license the music for your use case. Various artists (and labels) provide various licensing terms. If you know someone, they might let you do it free.

If you're specific question was meant to be "did this person license this music legally for his site?" - yes, there's a chance he did. There's a chance he didn't. You'd have to ask him. Even if he did, that doesn't give anyone else rights to use those songs on their site.
