Well as a 39 yr old father of 2, I'll probably be picking up a 2nd DS because of the increased demand. I picked up Nintendogs for my little guy and it turns out my 17 yr old daughter can keep her "paws" off it (bad pun). The DS was mine, but my kids have taken it over. What's a dad to do?
Hey I had one of those:-) Since it was mechanical it had a "pattern" that repeated after some time. It only took a while (memorizing the pattern) before I could beat my brother with my eyes closed.
I haven't tried MCE myself but I found that GBPVR http://www.gbpvr.com/ works for my needs. I currently run the pvr stuff on my main PC but I want to build a much smaller box (VIA?) and have it with the rest of my TV "stuff". I'm currently running on XP but the smaller box will be of Linux decent.
I agree, handling has improved a lot over the years. I love horsepower in a vehicle, but I also like the go around corners fast. So I compromised and got myself a RX8. Great handling, good power and over just a great car to drive.
TimeSplitters2 on the GC is a great game. My kids and I add several hours of gameplay each weekend on it. I think the controls are quite intuative. I'm not a big FPS player, but I do enjoy the game (and the price was right $30 CDN new).
I think you'll see these sort of problems anywhere you go. I live in Alberta whose encumbant Telco (Telus) was formally government owned (AGT). Getting access to the infrastruce has also proven difficult for others trying to get into the *DSL game. One ISP in Calgary (Cadvision) put up quite a stink about the whole fair access thing. Eventually they were bought by Telus anyways. Governing bodies trying to ensure equal access may try (CRTC... don't get me started on this one) but the encumbant usually has the power anyways.
The most costly part of running a satellite operation is the bandwidth. I'm the operations/engineering manager for a satellite provider in Canada and I've experienced this first hand.
Depending on your choice of systems you can get anywhere from approx 590ms to over 1000ms. We operate 3 different flavors of satellite services.
A SCPC (Single channel per carrier --> think dedicated) with a frame relay core. Very reliable and average pings are 650ms. This system even supports voice over frame technology too!
The other system is a dedicated IP based TDM/TDMA system (Time Division Multiplexing/Time Division Multiple Access). The unit does IP spoofing (ie does local 3way TCP handshaking) etc... Ping times with our setup usually come in at about 900ms (based on timeplan and a few other parameters)
Since you are not driving a business with this, your needs will differ. Finding an expert to help you would be very benificial.
Personally I believe you would be best off with an SCPC solution since you have only 2 sites (HO and a remote).
Hey how about this 3) Overclocking because you can... I could have afforded a more expensive processor etc... but there is a certain mystique and thrill doing this kind of thing. It's the main reason I bought my Abit BP6 (love that board). Overclocking 2 400MHz Celerys to 500MHz.
Of course with 2 USB ports, I am assuming that Sony will supply/support one of those USB --> Ethernet adapters for "broadband" access (hopefully in the near future)
A consultant here at my office has done this. The throughput seems to be very good (low latency too!). The speed he currently gets is about 1.3Mbits/sec at a distance of 25 miles.
Personally I think the man is just lonely. Why else would anyone write an article so blatent in its content to put every Linux user on his/her defensive. I don't think Bob is in charge of 3com anymore (he left a few years back I believe). As I said before, I think he just wanted to get his mailbox filled.

With this http://www.movieadvance.com/ I can do the same.
Depending on your firewall this problem can be overcome. For example on a PIX you can use the H323 fixup to re-write the IP addresses to the NAT.
I would say the 1st part of this 2 part"er" did freak me out a little ... "Are you my Mommy?" :-)
I wonder if they'll bring these performersl a/

Huh? The PSP has WiFi ... check the specs again.
That is a great link! Mod parent up!
I can't believe Sony actually approved that design.

The only good part of that edit was the removal of the "Yup Yup" Song ... I really didn't like Ewoks and that silly bit of music just made it worse.

I think you're referring to "PaperClip". I used that programs extensively while in University. From reveal codes to 80 column preview it was great!
