yes, worry.Don't forget the ones there by design. You know, like the remote kill switch for too many hardware modifications, and others to make sure you don't rip M$ off. Ha ha ha. If M$ can do it, you can be sure others will figure it out and be doing it.
Also, don't forget the ones that are there by poor implimentation. You know, like sound files in email that get executed without warning.
Also, don't forget the ones that are there due to poor design. You know, like an email client that runs as root because there are no real user accounts and the underlying file system will not support that and
....Don't forget to combine all of the above with poor judgement. Well, running M$ with anything but in single user non networked air gap protected mode is poor judgement. Worse judgement is attatching a camera and an always on high speed internet connection in your freaking bedroom, ha-ha(banned in Saudi Arabia).
Alah-Akbar. It's true you know.

Re:Ease of copying killed the Dreamcast...
Here's one way to do it..

Business senseless.If you're a company that has 7 different login and authentication systems for their wide array of services, and you could centralize that for cost savings, wouldn't you do it? I would.
Really? Do you want one key to open all your doors. Do you need the same level of security for advert laden email as you do for real identity protection? Sometimes seperation is a good idea. Sometimes it happens because you bought everyone and were too dumb to fix things as you did it.
Logic asside, if they do it you would hope that they could use something that worked (what is it, Kerebos?). They has proven incapable of protecting anything, from credit card info to Hotmail to individual PCs. Who would trust them as they move all their services to the system first used for Hotmail that has been broken already? They should realize that this is just one more reason not to do business with Micro~.
M$ is evil but, as usual, they are not very good at it.

Colorful language
It's the first time I've heard "onion" and "apocalypse" in documentents pertaining to the development of a computer programming language. I wonder what the next funny word will be : maybe Larry could use dictionary.com's word of the day for help

Re:I'd be suspicious too.
It looks like you're trolling Slashdot. Perhaps Clippy can be of assistance.

Re:*BSD thy name is failureWhat is it with you *BSD haters out there? I mean, jesus. I keep seeing this same rant, posted almost verbatim, anytime there is an article about one of the BSD's.
Didn't you know? Office now has a template for it.
Unsettling MOTD at my ISP.

It will live forever..
Or close, anyway, as long as the developer community still supports it. Here's some screens from a near-perfect adaptation of gameboy tetris I've been working on, which I hope to make multiplayer once Dan's programming libs support networking.

Re:Maybe its Fraud, yet Dreamcast games use LensFlFortunately, the homebrew development communities are more impressed by ideas-in-action than flat screenshots. Now if I can figure out how to add lens flares to this game, then I'm all set.

Re:Just an off-the-shelf Dreamcast.
The "controller port" is the front panel of a Dreamcast mounted facing upwards.
Obviously it's a prototype, as advertised. Functionality comes first, then good looks.
The power supply board (toward the front of the case) has the power cable connector attached to it, which runs under the other board and out the back of the case.
Do you have any better ideas for getting power to the thing? (:
The "black thing" over the circuit board in the center of the unit is the standard GD-ROM drive mechanism.
Actually it's a heatsink covering the CPU and PowerVR (pic). The leads for where the GDROM drive would be, are going to the hard-drive looking apparatus at the front-left of the case. Coupled with the fact that it has what looks like an EPROM for the BIOS and two coax leads coming out of the back-left of the box, maybe this thing is exactly what they claim it is, a prototype of a box that lets you download games onto a hard drive and play them.

Re:Direct link:
Too bad games need to explicitly support it, so I can't download new tags for Jet Grind Radio without swapping out the NIC for a modem
Then you should download the JSR tag to end all tags.

ouch..
So it is.. How hard would it be to tack on file searching extensions to something that's already out there, like IRC? True, it'd still be a central-server model, but everything else is already in place (DCC file transfers, chat, etc.). It's easy to network IRC servers together, and since all the file sharing mods would be client-side, you wouldn't have to modify the servers at all. In theory you'd even be able to run something like this over a public IRC net. Only problem to overcome is how the clients find each other.

Dreamcast and PPP
If you've used pppd in the past, it's a no-brainer. I was doing this with a FreeBSD box when I got my DC a little over a year ago. Just get the modems to connect (blind dial on the DC, ATA on the PC), and start pppd on the serial port. Not very fast, but it's the best we have until the DC LAN adapter gets to the US in January.

Re:um.. HELLO?
Hmm, looks like you've got Ridge Racer for PS2 vs. Shotouko Battle for DC. If anyone's interested, I just happen to have a few more screenshots of shotouko battle 2 lying around. Nice game, stays at about 60fps unless there's a ton of cars on screen, which usually never happens when you're racing fast enough.

Re:Personally...
Games always suck at a console's launch. It's a historical fact
Just remember, Soul Calibur was a Dreamcast launch title.

Re:Change the Apache licence
can't the Apache Foundation change their licence to prohibit the MPAA from using Apache on their servers?

Jet Set Radio
Jet Set Radio is the best game I have played in a long, long time.
I agree. Jet Set Radio is the most innovative thing I've seen come out of the game industry in a long time. Sega's always trying new stuff, and that's what makes for a good, enjoyable game. The music, sfx, and graphics are all top notch.
Not to mention how fun it is to knock over that dumbass cop.

Sega puts the fun back into gamingA good number of their games on the Dreamcast have brought the fun back into gaming. Crazy Taxi (rip through a city trying to deliver passengers on time), Samba de Amigo (the one with the maracas and dancing monkey), Jet Set Radio (spraypaint everything in sight) are just a few.
Waiting for my Saturn to arrive so I can play NiGHTS..
