Here's the soundtracks to a few old 80s commercials I found on videotape. There are some video game commercials in there, but the most "unique" one by far is the one for Mister T Cereal.
Based on the tone of what I've read from both sides, this seems to be more of a corporate fall-out between MusicCity/Morpheus and Sharman/Kazaa than anything else.
MusicCity used Sharman's network and was recently locked out for some reason. One has to wonder why.
I'm all too familiar with it, and they thought of it too. The system will cache the TOC and directory of the minidisc before it boots. If any kind of disc swap is detected, the system will either just bomb or halt with an error message until you insert the original disc.
There is also a rumor that the spiral on the minidisc is in the reverse direction of any other disc in existance (normal CD and DVD drives recognize a disc is there, but cannot spin it up), so like I said good luck without some sort of hardware mod.
I doubt piracy will be a problem, unless someone finds a BIOS hole like they did on the Dreamcast.
GameCube games have a visible security thread on the inside ring of the minidisc that is checked by the system before it boots, good luck trying to duplicate it with any kind of burner.
WIL WHEATON DOT NET is temporarily closed, due to massive technical difficulties. The moose out front should have told you. Please check back later today.
Guess Wesley couldn't save the day this time, eh?!?
Yeah, QuantumLink rocked. My dad was a beta tester way back in 84/85 and (today) I work with one of the guys who built their original network out. He used to lend Steve Case money so he could get drunk. My how times have changed.
It's based on the old Bill of Borg spoof. Bill Gates reportedly went after the guy that did it and he wasn't able to sell t-shirts with that picture on it any more.
But who can forget "1541MUSIC", the program that knocked the disk head past the end of the disk at different rates to play a song. A very LOUD song.
Of course it destroyed any data on the disk you had in the drive, and if you were unlucky, the drive itself. Fortunately the 1571 "sneezed" instead of "knocked" like the 1541 did.
I've switched from pine to Mozilla's IMAP client. Aside from some text-entry oddities in the message window, it's worked without a hitch, and handles multiple accounts pretty well.

Check this one out if you end up with a Dreamcast some day.
Actually, now that you mention it...

For what it's worth, I just so happen to have a frame grab of that.
Bookmark this if you like falling-block games. (:

Like 3 years ago I wrote a script that'd import the most recent Slashdot stuff into INN, I seriously doubt it works anymore though. screenshot
Here's one way to do it..

I got a DSL mailing a few days ago from Verizon, postmarked 28-Nov, offer ends 30-Nov. Go figure.
You are correct sir. Catch the episode with Bill Gates and his Windows chopper last night?
So if they sue you over that, can you counter-sue because they had to circumvent your access control method to find out what it was?
Here's some kinda-sorta old NetBSD tidbits from the box if anyone is interested.
DC Tetris, coming soon if I can ever find the time to finish it.
Actually, you can use any email address as a Passport account, not just Hotmail or MSN.

This guy sure did.
You can upload whatever you want via the Dreamcast BBA. Be it programs you write yourself, or even NetBSD.
