UO is addictive, I play it so I know, but to pay that much for an account is just plain screwed. Firstly IMHO, the fun in UO is building you own character. Secondly, how do people justify paying that much, and for those selling, how do they justify the price. I acknowledge this case was an auction on ebay, but I have heard people pay $1000 for an account. Are thay trying to recover ISP and game play charges?
I'm glad that your dis-interest in the PSX2 is due to lack of games you prefer, flight sims and fps...

I'll be looking forward to my 3d console RPGs, racing games, shooters, and such on the PSX2 myself, since I'm no good at flight sims and fps are sorta boring to me...
Well I have always prefered consoles over PC for gaming because I have felt the genre of games for consoles is more to my liking.
I was reading the specs and comments here, and I am very impressed (or am I just sucker for numbers). I am wondering if I can harness the flops performance and the graphical power for some sprite driven non-linear regression modelling. If I could use a PSX2 for developing and running software like that, it would be a hell of a lot more economical to by 6 of these than an SMP Intel box. I guess if development is under linux, it shouldbe possible. I guess someone has to say this, I wonder what a Beowulf cluster of thises would be like..NLmpJB39
with RH5.1 and kernel 2.1.36 (? gawd, I can't remember). A newbie (and still am) at the time, I recompiled and recompiled, but never got the damn kernal 'installed'. Needless to say I am very good at compiling kernels now.
But then I looked at the lilo.conf file and saw that Redhat put the image in a really screwy place with a screwy filename,
/boot/vmlinuz-blah.blah.blah
if I recall correctly. Sooooo, I modified the lilo.conf to tell the image was
/vmlinuz
recompiled the kernel and it's worked wonders since.

yikes, funnily enough I am too...for the same reason >_
if you want sound quality, try vinyl
I too only found #12 to be vaguely funny, maybe coz it wasn't as offensive as the other ones...
