Actualy the Genesis did pretty well aganst the SNES, it was ahead for a while, until about a year before the psx/saturn/n64. when the SNES started really showing off (with games like donkey kong contry, yoshi's island, etc) "Subtle mind control? Why do all these HTML buttons say 'Submit' ?"
It's surprizing that you mixed up the relise of the Saturn and the N64. The saturn came out about a 6 months before the PSx, and then there was another 6 months or so before the n64 came out. btw, the Saturn was probably more of a joke then the 3do "Subtle mind control?

$370 is what you'll pay if you go buy it in Japan. (+/- several thousand $$ for the trip) plus or minus?? Do you mean I could get paid thousands of dolars just for going to japan? kick ass "Subtle mind control? Why do all these HTML buttons say 'Submit' ?"

Actually, the scientific community views evolution as a truth. The reason that they call it a 'theory' instead of a 'law' is because it can't be described as a mathematical equation (ie E = mc^2). Gravity is also a theory (as well as a law). You can't 'prove' evolution and more then you can 'prove' that holocaust occurred. That doesn't mean they didn't happen "Subtle mind control?

While what you've said about the BSD licens might be true, anyone else could 'roll' the improvements that hackers make into *there* closed software. you would have no competitive advantage.
Any opesource licens is going to be bad for a company that derives all its money from selling software licenses. But for a company like SGI, where they make most of there money from hardware the GPL makes more sense. "Subtle mind control? Why do all these HTML buttons say 'Submit' ?"
I don't think Linux is better or worse then FreeBSD, or any other *BSD. I was simply stating somthing that I thout was true. If you had enough intelegence to read what I wrote you would see that I implied that BSD had some technical superiority.
As for my spelling, all I can say is, if you don't like it. Don't read my posts "Subtle mind control? Why do all these HTML buttons say 'Submit' ?"
All I said was that it would loose it's edge. If you re-read what I said, you will see that I implied that BSD actualy had a technical advantage with comperison to linux. I don't belive that this is going to be the case for much longer, however beacuse Linux is moving faster then *BSD. At some point in the future, Linux will be technicaly suprior to FreeBSD. The reason for this is beacuse Linux is getting more support from the industry, has more code contributers, etc, etc. "Subtle mind control? Why do all these HTML buttons say 'Submit' ?"
Remember, apple didn't chose a BSD licens, they chose a BSD Kernel. The BSD community got nothing from apples work, and Darwin is licensed under even more restrictive terms then the GPL I believe. The APSL is closer to the GPL then the BSD license as well.
The thing is companies can Use work that has already be done in BSD code, but they are under no obligation to give back to the community. While Apple Opensourced part of there operating system, they didn't have to.
If a company want's to Create something they are more likely going to use a GPL style license (like apple's ASPL) because then they are the only ones that can make money off there software (not counting OSS distributors, tech support, etc.). If Apple actually used a BSD license in with there software, anyone could use it. "Subtle mind control? Why do all these HTML buttons say 'Submit' ?"
The person who *writes* the software can still do whatever they want with it, whether or not they use the GPL license. That includes selling it as closed source, or selling another license to someone who wants to use it in a close-source project.
so, SGI can still make money from XFS in IRIX, or they could sell it to Microsoft for use in windows NT. Right now, MS can't use XFS in windows without GPLing it. They can use anything that the BSD people think up however. "Subtle mind control? Why do all these HTML buttons say 'Submit' ?"

You don't use port 80 to surf the web, outgoing connections use a random port for connecting, if it was, you couldn't surf the web and serve pages at the same time.
Also you don't need to have a outgoing port listening for connections... "Subtle mind control? Why do all these HTML buttons say 'Submit' ?"

Sony sold a system called the Yaroze, that was supposed to be used to hack the playstation with a PC and GCC, but the licencing requirements were rediculis (you couldn't sell your game yourself, sony had first dibs on marketing, also the system was missing some of the advanced modeling libs)
I don't know if you can use a Stock CE dev kit for the dreamcast however, Sega may have put some locks in the DC to stop unauthorized games from being sold "Subtle mind control? Why do all these HTML buttons say 'Submit' ?"
Ug, Nintendo says emulation is illegal, but they are only saying that because it is in there best interest to believe that. however, it is totally legal, and in fact part of the definition of a general purpose computer. The act of emulation has become "more" legal recently since the games came on CDs that could be placed in a computer and run from the CD-ROM drive.
previously the only way to *play* the games was to get a ROM file, and in most cases, most people just got the ROMs of the Internet instead of making there own cartridge reader for NES games. but the emulation itself is still legal (The PSX emulator for the Mac was illegal, because conetix used to distributed a copy of Sony's boot ROM with every copy of "Virtual game console" Bleem, I believe is different, and perfectly legal) "Subtle mind control?

Actualy, I belive that work was done to get NetBSD to run on the thing, so you may not need to port linux.
I don't know how usefull the system is for *general purpose* computing (IE they spent all there money on sweet graphics chips).

Well, you might end up spending more mone for Visual C++ then you're dream cast (pluss running somthing like a webserver would be slow of a CD-rom). *but* you can code stuff for CE if you want, check out:
writing a CE application would probably be easyer then writing somthing that would actualy run on a DreamCast.
also, was the 'dream cast portscan' done while a game that used CE was running? I would think that nmap would detect CE. Or was it just the sega ROM that was scanned? "Subtle mind control? Why do all these HTML buttons say 'Submit' ?"
