LOL I saw this. That's pretty funny. At least he was rewarded for finding a bug in their system. That's pretty cool of Microsoft.

His luck, you mean. Doesn't say much about he himself though.


I mean, back when playing FF8 on the PSX a good 15 years ago, I punched my playstation in the disk drive for being a disobedient piece of crap, and got 7 zantetsukens in a row while hunting Marlboros. Can I get a round of applause too? :P But nah, seriously, I coulda broke it. D:

In fairness, doing random stuff has led to some of the greatest discoveries in science and the humanities, so hey, more power to this kid.

I agree with Bragatyr ! A lot of great discoveries, in science especially, are tied to random stuff ! So hey maybe this kid isn't a Genius but he deserves some "respect" :)
But Shen : about your history about FF8 you are right ! You deserves a medal too :)
