IgLou (www.iglou.com) $9.99 minimum for any speed DSL, with static IP and servers allowed. The 768/384 ADSL line from Cincinnati Bell (www.zoomtown.com) I pay $29.99 a month for. So $40/month for a single static IP with servers (more IPs for more $) isn't bad.
The alternative is $44.95/month for RoadRunner through Cincinnati Time Warner cable. Their ToS doesn't look like it prohibits servers either but since I don't use them I can't say for sure.
1) Region encoding
2) Sector 12-15 (or so) burnout to prevent copies
In order to get a backup disc made (glad I didn't break any lately) or play a legally-purchased Japanese version, you need a special modification done to the console whether by chip or external parallel port module. So I pay $20 extra for a convertor for the privilege of playing games I've purchased or a backup of a broken CD. This would obviously be circumventing a copy-protection system.
People breaking their copy of Final Fantasy Tactics get the pleasure of bidding upwards of $80 on Ebay to get a replacement due to short supply.
It's funny they use the word "encryption" in their description of the Playstation copy protection. From what I've read (and tried), they've just zero'd the CRC/header portion of the sectors 12-15, and place a little text string saying "Licensed by blah, blah blah" in the first.
I'm rather pissed I cannot create a copy of a game I have. Final Fantasy Tactics is a rare game on the Playstation now, but is the best one I've found. So if I should break this particular game, I'm S.O.L.
Imagine being cheezed you just broke your $49 Playstation game and then finding out you _can't_ get another copy. (Except at Ebay for $80) Squaresoft has stopped making the game, years ago. And all this because they see fit to stomp on fair use.
That being said, if anyone knows of a CD-R, CD-RW, or CD-ROM drive that will allow me to read a data track as raw audio, let me know. I want a backup!
Huh? I think you're quoting vapor here. The sendfile() acts more like a "copyfd()" now. If you need to make sure not to generate a small packet of TCP headers and then data, there is TCP_CORK for setsockopt().

Sony Playstation.
Now, the explanation:

You can find it on SourceForge still if you're interested: psxdev-sdk-1.0.tar.gz

You get audited quarterly and have to pay for the audit. CPA's are expensive.
A lot of those power-plug or telephone-line based home networking things top out at 1 Mbps.
Anyone notice the hub? Last time I checked, Ethernet was RJ-45 and modems were RJ-11.

Wasn't a problem to install the software for me. Tedious, but CPAN fixes that up. Currently just moved it to http://developer.circlemud.org too.
I've been hacking on it since and even made an e-mail -> submission gateway that I sent to Rob in case he was interested.
