Playstation 2 development is already done in linux
Yes, I connect to a linux box before been able to run something on the PSX2. I didn't design (or open) my PSX2 Development box (yet) but I bet they put two "machine" in it. One that run Linux (and that can be anything) + the real PSX2. They probably add some drivers so they can download the code from the Linux box to the real PSX2. It's possible to port Linux on PSX2 but I doubt that will be that easy because I believe the Dev box is two "machine" with a proprietary connection between them. For the EE, Sony provides their own kernel library ( that is proprietary of course ).
You can use the GCC to build for the PSX2 because the EE is a 64-bit CPU that conforms to MIPS III (partly to MIPS IV). If you got the compiler that make a port easier...
Having a HD, Modem, Keyboard, Mouses, etc... it's not new in Sony's plan( why designing the PSX2 with 1394, USB connector?). But I bet Microsoft make them move faster than they plan originaly. This seems a marketing move first so don't expect the first generation of games to use those features... maybe even the second generation of games! People are still looking at ways to improve the game itself. When the games are going to be awesome (and they will), the networking play will follow.
Don't worry folks, the time of a 300$ game terminal capable of network play across WAN is NEAR! And I can't wait!
2.Why not offer a help line for depressed kids rather than a snitch line? Canada has had the Kids' Help Phone for about 10 years now and it is wildly popular and successful, as well as ANONYMOUS
Kids need some infrastructure to listen to them. Listen about their problems or about their classmate's problems. If you really care about your classmate do you need money or rewards to start to be concerned ?
If their parent are not the right person to listen to them, they should at least have an anonymous person listening to them.
What they need is not the reward but a person who can listen to them in the first place. IMHO, I can't figure out why someone need a reward to help his fellow man. If you're not the type of person to get involve you should at least be able to tell anonymously what bother you and someone else can do something about it.
As a lots of people point out, history shows us some pretty scaring things about denouncing your neighbors, friends or coworker for a reward.
