Q: Many programs today use "ssh" as a command name in competitive and freeware products. Does SSH intend to require programmers to rewrite their programs to eliminate this naming convention?
A: No. SSH has no desire to cause any inconvenience to users or developers who have been accustomed to using the "ssh" command name with our products. Accordingly, we will provide, free of charge, a trademark license to use the command name "ssh" with proper attribution.
From what I've seen (IANAL), "proper attribution" means you have to say "ssh was made by these guys, not us" when you decide to roll your own. Their real beef seems to be with companies putting SSL in their names, and as part of their corporate identities. Look at the chip market; how funny would it be if AMD were called BetterIntel, or Intellium, or ByeByeIntel? OK, the Intel thing is slightly off-topic, but I think my point is clear.

Slug it with the state initials for uniqueness...

The original poster asked if it were possible to upgrade the RAM on a DreamCast... I have not attempted this, but am also curious about it.
Notice I avoided these comment paths:
1) DC != PC, even w/ lots of RAM
2) Proc is bottleneck, not RAM
Even if you feel that upping the RAM is pointless, do you have any info to share about it?
