Ok its neat that you get to print 3D objects. But there really isn't a use. For instance, lets say I want to print out a keyboard. All you would get is a stupid solid plastic keyboard. Its not like its going to print out the circuitry inside, or the screws holding it together, or anything making your printed copy remotley useful.
And if you can't use what you print out, what the heck is the point of an average person using this? Novelty?
"Hey guys check this out, I just printed out a solid plastic Porche! Nobody will tell that its fake!!"
Ford would have no reason to. If you had a picture of your Ford on the internet as reference on carjacking, and using it to show exactly how to carjack, then they would have a reason to, and they probably would.
However, the CPU and graphics chips of the Dreamcast are VERY basic, off the shelf products. The SH4 chip is an off-the-shelf product from Hitachi that is used in a ton of different things, and the Power VR2 chip is a PC graphics card that you could buy, and could have bought for quite some time.
But yes, currently the DC copying situation is in no way a backup thing. You can't even do it yourself!
Oh. I didn't sign an agreement with GM not to steal their cars, so I can do it whenever I want. Right. It's Sega's own code so Sega can determine who and who can't use it. Its not information, like game info or something, its an actual thing.
I know because almost every single post in dc piracy forums says that. Either everyone is collectivly wrong, or its true. The current rumors (acctually they only ones, around since the start of the DC piracy) are that they stole (or was given) the code from Datel in the UK to use (Datel makes Gamesharks, and they would have boot code because their Dreamcast Gameshark works with a a CD and it does a similar thing, but only lets imports work). So there is a VERY good chance it is indeed Sega's info.
They had scans of Dreamcast game covers, manuals, CD's, and more on the site. THAT IS COPYRIGHT INFORMATION IN WHICH YOU NEED PERMISSION TO USE. If Sega does not want you to use them, then I can ask you to cease and desist. The boot CD is also their property, because it was done using Sega proprietary information, not reverse engineering (despite what Utopia says).
Had dcisos.com not posted manuals, etc and the boot dc, and just provided the news, this wouldn't have happened.
AMD should easily be able to beat that! They have actual quantities of shipping 1.1Ghz chips now, so achieving 2Ghz with their Mustang should be a piece of cake. If it wasn't for Dell Intel would be done by now.
Sure fiber itself is pretty cheap to buy and lay, but the equipment that you use with it is helluva expensive! How to they plan on making this affordible?
And who needs 20 gigs of bandwidth coming into their Playstation 2 of all things? Maybe if it had even a hundredth of the functionality of a PC it would be worth it, but on a PS2? What's the point?
This is just more Sony bull. They are going to split up their own Playstation 2 market with all these addons so bad its not even funny.
The problem is that in Napsters case, THERE IS a company to sue. Who are you going to sue in, for example, gnutella's case? Nobody. Napsters downfall came when they tried to turn a simple internet program into a company.
People have to learn that NOT EVERYTHING ON THE INTERNET CAN BE AN IPO.
Yeah. But the more record sales she has the more saying power she has. She would have more say in the big picture if she had 10 million records sold as opposed to 10 million dollars.
Them having chemical weapons and them having our e-mail addresses are two COMPLETLEY different things. One is personal information about the people living in their country, one is them having weapons of mass destruction.
Until they could launch our phone numbers and e-mail addresses at another countries population to cause mass genocide, I'm not too worried.
If we don't know about it then it doesn't concern us. It's that simple.
If we don't know about it then they obviously aren't using the information for anything, therefore who cares? Oh no the government knows my address! oh no! WHO CARES!? Until they use my address to send me a bomb or use my e-mail addresses to send me government SPAM, then who cares if they know the information?
Hell, I could know your credit card number right now. Would you know? NO, not until I use it to buy something. If I never use it to buy something, who cares if I know it?
Normally, it would be the best rule to use whatever license that fits your needs. But just don't let anyone who runs Slashdot know, because anything that isn't GPL is wrong in their book. (sorta like MTV how whatever music they don't play is wrong, and yet THEY determine what music is played)

Oh shut up.
"So it's going to fail bigtime, right?"
"Yeah, pretty much. Let's try to drag some Linux fanboys that don't realize we have no games with us."

I agree.

Your right. Nobody's opinions, except the ones catering to the moderators, count.
haha. im not Sega :P
I think the Dreamcast section was removed out of fear and not because Sega specifically told them to. Unless you can prove to me otherwise.

Your right. I wouldn't want to hear the screams of a computer newbie with Linux either.
How could they last without DOOM?

Hey Taco if the kid used Linux do you think you would have made such a biased, stupid comment like you did?
Yeah. But the more record sales she has the more saying power she has. She would have more say in the big picture if she had 10 million records sold as opposed to 10 million dollars.
:)
But the $16 direct is still probably better
Here is a better idea - buy her CD's. Though Universal would then get money... maybe this is a better idea :)
Now, but I think you woke up dyslexic.
Agreed. Satellite quality video is all we REALLY need. Past that it gets kinda pointless.
Sounds to me like BeOS is doing us a favor.
Thats what they made Linux for.

Its better that we DON'T know what they know.
