Dreamcast Broadband Adapters
JayBonci writes "Dust off the old Dreamcast. If you're one of the many like myself who still enjoy their Dreamcast or are aspiring DC hackers, then you may want to pay attention to a quiet announcement by CSI, the Japanese manufacturer of the Dreamcast Broadband Adapter (flaky, but understandable translation provided by the fish). If you have no idea what the BBA is, the official page here. If CSI gets 1000 pre-orders for the unit, they will be willing to make another production run. Keep in mind that these units are very useful for the Dreamcast Linux efforts and NetBSD/Dreamcast, and that Japanese units work on US systems."
It's hard to believe that the Dreamcast, with it's better graphics handling and ease of programming, ever lost out to the PS2.
I guess if you've got the resources of Sony, you can pretty much screw anyone you like.

A man has been jailed for six months after a trainload of commuters saw him having sex with a goat.
Stephen Hall, 23, of Kensington Road, Hull, pleaded guilty to one charge of buggery with an animal after the assault on the female goat in August last year.
Sentencing HIV-positive Hall, Judge Michael Mettyear, at Hull Crown Court, described the incident as "bizarre and disgusting". Hall had a previous conviction for indecent assault against a six-year-old girl.
The judge expressed frustration at being unable to order that Hall be banned from working with children in the future, adding: "You have pleaded guilty to buggery with an animal, a goat. It was committed in open air with people about, with people who could see.
"You were acting in an indecent manner, indeed, there was an seven-year-old boy in a position to see, although he was protected by his grandfather."
The court was earlier told how Hall had been returning from his sister's home on August 14 when the assault took place at the Argyle Street allotments.
A seven-year-old boy out walking with his grandfather had witnessed the attack together with a train-load of commuters on board a Hull to Bridlington service that had stopped at nearby signals.
Hall was seen holding on to a belt that had been put around the nanny goat's neck with one hand, while masturbating with the other. He was then seen with his trousers around his ankles having "penetrative sexual intercourse" with the animal.
Forensic tests matched semen taken from Hall's clothing to that found at the scene and samples of the goat's hairs were also found in his underwear.
Reading from the pre-sentence report, Mr Mettyear said Hall had shown evidence of being "preoccupied with sex", having "emotional instability" and problems maintaining relationships. It added that he targets "vulnerable" victims - "a child in the first instance and now an animal".

One has to remember that the UK standard of living is lower than that in the United States. The government in the UK is based on a confiscatory tax policy where the government takes almost all your money in taxes, leaving very little disposable income. Everything in the UK is taxed to high heaven. Folks there just can't afford to hop over to the megastore and buy the latest G4 or Athlon based system. For many in the UK, a fast game console with BASIC is as close as they can afford to real computing.
Old Dreamcasts with BBA would be a good way to help our brothers and sisters in the UK upgrade to the 21st Century. While the DC does not offer that much value for American consumers, a used Dreamcast would be an ideal way to help bridge the UK's "computing gap".
You're so sexy when you're like that.
