Erm... if this is the same homebrew community that puts modchips into their
XBOX consoles, puts bigger hard disks in them, and modifies the shell to hold
various LEDs and other disco-like features, then they're being very highly
hypocritical by stating that considering their past attempts at keeping people
from "hacking" the hardware that they paid for with hard-earned money.

If what they really mean by "homebrew community" is people doing things
within the confines of what thine holy Microsoft determines to be proper,
then they need to be educated in the exact meaning of the word "homebrew".
