I bought this remote for $200 several months ago. All I can say is that it's a fantastic remote. Not only does it have just the right tactile buttons for channel changing, muting and volume control, but you can program it very nicely and it works very well. Also, I've gotten really good comments from people not tech-savvy about how nice the remote is and how easy and fun it is to use. To me, a low-tech person not being intimidated by an LCD remote of this calibur is more than enough reason to consider purchasing it.
BTW, my remote has a black case, not clear like pictured here. It's probably the best $200 I ever spent.
There's one major piece left in Dreamcast programming, that's the PowerVR specs. PowerVR is the name of the advanced 3D graphics processor and all that goodness. I've been pining over programming on the DC on some of my own projects.
I think you failed to see the evident sarcasm in my statement. Any reasonably-minded person can make the link that you described.
Case in point: I myself along with a friend of mine were assigned to the task of finding out who kept on deleting local copies of Cadkey (a DOS CAD program) on a section of the Novell token ring network at my high school. We basically made DOS batch commands to circumvent every known method to move, erase or delete the files. It worked because when a user runs a command if for instance a COPY.BAT and COPY.COM executables are found in the path, the batch file is run first. Instead of performing these tasks, it records the users' info with some nifty command and displays output to fool the user into thinking it worked. That way we could see what they full intentions were.
The school knew we knew too much about the network, so they just let it slide in exchange of this service. Needless to say, the reports dwindled in size quickly.
Companies need to start to realize to not award people that maliciously attack web companies with jobs. That's saying "I'm glad you broke in, here's a cushy job, oh yeah, don't worry about being punished because what you did is okay."
Is that why you posted as an Anonymous Coward, because you are too cowardly to own up to your remarks. What kind of people are we looking at when a group of people commits these acts of terror then has the indecency to say something like this. Your whole race of people is crazy. Osama Bin Laden proclaimed a holy war against Americans, and for the killing of Americans and Jews. That's completely unfounded, we (Americans) did nothing to the Arab people, I guess this is some personal vendetta he has against us. Then he tried to use a carbomb in the basement of the WTC, that was unsuccessful. Other attacks proceeded, then the whole fiasco yesterday, destroying the 2 WTC towers and part of the Pentagon. All in all, killing around 30,000, and for what? The Japanese tried doing this 50 years ago, they attacked a little place called Pearl Harbor. The Japanese quickly found out that the US is not to be fucked with. I guess the Arab people need to find out the same lesson.
What the disgusting thing about all this is the news footage of Arab people, adults and children dancing in the streets while thousands and thousands other humans die, while giving the children candy. That fact in and of itself makes the Arab people to me, all crazy.
I don't know what Bin Laden was trying to prove, flying a couple planes into country with the buildings of the most intelligent and sophisticated military and government. I guess he has a death wish.
I've submitted stories about petabyte drives in development, GNU/Debian Linux being installed to tally elections in Austrailia, and others, but they aren't good enough for Slashdot.
I wonder if there's a french guy that's going to replace the original light sabre's with the medical instruments he's suing for because he claims they are so much alike.
The french guy would say, "Sir, do you realize you are not using the regular light saber's, but you are using Minrad's special Light Sabre' syringes?" (Said in the form of Folger's coffee commercials)
Before you begin to make irrational statements, perhaps you should read all of what I said. Let me draw your attention to this statement, "It's probably not compatabile with XP architecture". To dumb it down for you, that means I'm already admitting it won't work, even without the protection.
I presuming your position against Anti-Microsoft statements means you are Pro-Microsoft at some point.
You really think Microsoft dictating which devices and drivers we can use is a good thing? I'd be just as frustrated if it was any other company, but no other company has the position to do this (disregarding Apple because I don't know alot about them). These Gestapo-like tactics are not a good sign, and that's much more than Anti-Microsoft rhetoric.
Guess what? I have a couple drivers, specifically one to run a connector I made that plugs a PSX gamepad into the parallel port. And the driver was made in Germany by one guy several years ago. It's probably not compatabile with XP architecture (made for Win 9x/ME), but conceptually, they have no right saying I can't plug devices they don't know about. Much less, any devices that there is no chance the author won't even want to have Microsoft test it.
I was about to say the same sorts of things as the other people, but for redundancy's sake, technology probably still prohibits from making it more detailed.
I thought about installing the distributed.net clients on my school at the time, it was only 30 PC's, but still. I'm on the guy's side, it wasn't like he was using the Chemistry rooms to build bombs or anything, he's furthering security and privacy for everyone else. Plus, like other people have pointed out, the amount of bandwidth he used is so miniscule compared to all the porn people download at school. I say give him $415,000 and everyone give him a big round of applause.
Simply put, Apple chose form over function, which is a bad move. The cube was pretty ugly anyway. Who wants a small plexiglass thing to run a Mac anyway?

Second post!
There's one of those around here too, in Richmond VA.
The screenshots look nice, but the mere fact they have the Superfriends Wazzup parody makes it awesome.
I've submitted stories about petabyte drives in development, GNU/Debian Linux being installed to tally elections in Austrailia, and others, but they aren't good enough for Slashdot.
No, because the story was only a few hours old when I found it.
This is total BS, I submitted this exact same story 5 days ago, but the idiots rejected it. And now, today, here it is.

You don't think I'm aware that it won't work on NT? You don't think I've at least tried it?
Get a better browser, like Internet Explorer.

Not at 8:20am in the morning. Nice trolling though, looks like you weren't too sharp either. Pot, kettle, black.
I got the first comment. I won't even rattle on about the invasions of privacy this entails.
Thanks for the bio lesson, Teach.
I was about to say the same sorts of things as the other people, but for redundancy's sake, technology probably still prohibits from making it more detailed.
If you think RC5 and probably Seti@Home are little toys, then you belong on the same side as Georgia.

And you're unaware of how to spell "truly"... I'll make myself scarce.
