Not like my 80 millions € SOA project were they had the "clever" idea to create a.Net front-end to the web-services instead of a web-application...
The worst thing in this case is that they needed to have the front-end available to third parties which cannot run.Net. Their solution: Citrix remote access...:( Architecture at his best.
Well you also need a PS3 which stills have OtherOS functionality (fat model AND firmware 3.21 maximum).
If you do have a fat PS3 with later firmwares (current is 3.55) then you will need to downgrade with usb dongle (or equivalent like psfServiceMod for some HTC phones).
You can also wait for the promised AsBestOS hack that should bring back OtherOS style support to the current firmwares.
So it was a cool hack until Sony decided to remove OtherOS support to avoid hacks (and this did not worked as expected for them...).
From what I heard from an Ubisoft employee, AC2 and Silent Hunter were not using the full potential of the DRM scheme because it was added late in the dev phase.
For Settlers 7 it apparently uses it fully: most of the game economics processing is done on the server. A crack is still possible but that would mean recreate the economics engine completely by analyzing the answers from the official server.
Very sad DRM, I already stated to this guy that I wanted to buy AC2 to play it but that I will not (and I won't pirate it either). I just consider Ubisoft games as non existing until that crazy DRM is removed (which won't happen I guess).
You better update to Tomato 1.21 which fixes (not only that but at least) the DNS poisoning stuff in dnsmasq everybody was talking about in the past 3 months...
Nice firmware by the way, I prefer it over DD-WRT for what I do with the router.;)
Looks to me like those two "low power" systems are eating a lot of Watts for the performance...
I have built a small LAN server a few months back and used "normal" (ie: not low power) desktop CPUs:
Mobo: Gigabyte GA-G31M-S2L
CPU: Intel Pentium E2200 (2.2 GHz / 1 MB cache)
RAM: Teamgroup Elite Kit 2x1GB PC6400 DDR2-800 CL5
HDD: Hitachi HDT72502 250GB SATA & Samsung SpinPoint F1 1TB 32MB SATA II
PSU: Seasonic S12 II 430 W (too much, I am planning to change it for a 100-200W one with 80plus Gold certif)
The consumption of the entire system at idle at the power outlet is 50W and in burn on both cores 66W...
This is of course by undervolting the CPU at 1.1V but it is rock stable, and even if the stock voltage is kept this would not be a lot more (the chipset is really the power hungry part).
Yes it is... I have external enclosure for 2.5 inches HDD and it is self powered from USB.
USB power is just not enough for 3.5 inches one but not for 2.5 or SSD.
ESATA is not self-powered, you need another cable or external power.
Appart from that, I don't know is SATA is usable for other devices that are not HD/SSD/CD/DVD.
You don't understand me, I am not talking about Sony and MS (nor Nintendo). All those "old" games are almost all commercial games. The fact that they are re-selling some of them in "new" commercial games is not my point.
You are using backups of commercial games, don't say you are not because you only do it with old ROMs. The C64 version of "Blue Max" you are playing is a backup of a commercial game.
I was just pointing at a mistake in your message, you were saying something and the contrary at the same sentence.
By the way, an emulator can play quite recent games, not only C64 stuff... Even MAME is able to play pretty recent games.
I've never played a "backup" or pirated commercial game in my life
emulators for playing old games like (MAME). Ok...
You have to explain me how you never played a "backup" or pirated any commercial game in your life but still are using emulators to play "old" games (remember "old" don't means != than commercial)...
Do you think the ROMs files you have on your harddisks aren't backups?
Enough said.

Even more proof he made a custom firmware. Changing the MAC address was a feature of the Custom Firmwares for PSP.
I guess a bird passing by the line of sight would then block the 10Gbps signal, isn't it? DDoS by birds. :)

This looks similar to the features in RSSH http://www.pizzashack.org/rssh/...
