I get 1.5MBps/128KBps (I've seen it go slightly higher on both counts) DSL for $40/month, including modem rental from Sympatico. And that's $CDN, meaning even less. Their support isn't too hot, but they let me run servers and do whatever, and I don't need support all that often.
Oh yes and also there's 10 hours a month of "emergency dialup" or whatever.. For Dreamcast use!
One of them led me to see Ghost in the Shell.. I recognised the video sequences from the King of my Castle music video, and then it showed the movie title and I wanted to see it.
PS/2 is a port used for connecting mice and keyboards to computers. I'm positive Sony had little if anything to do with its creation, and Linux has certainly supported mice and keyboards through this port for a long time.
I think what you meant is PS2, the acronym used to denote the Sony PlayStation2 console.
Sorry to rain on your parade, but the ps2 only runs at like 3, maybe 4 MHz higher than the dreamcast (someone's going to prove me wrong with some BS "66 million polys per second" hardware spec but whatever) so it will have about one-third the chance of my 600 Athlon running a Dreamcast emulator. Which hasn't happened yet.
Well, look at it this way. Pay for Windows, and use the MSIE license that came with windows to download whatever the hell browser you wish, and never worry about upgrading the thing. Free. That's what I did back in the day that Netscape was better and I had no need to code tables.
Or he could not, because he likes his superior browser.
But seriously, I have yet to see an ISP that doesn't either package both MSIE and NSC with its installer or have it available for download off their site, and last I checked you still need an ISP to use the internet. Before the last time I reformatted my hard drive, I had both MSIE and Netscape, mostly for compatibility-checking purposes.

The average cheaters wouldn't do anything like that, but hardcore cheaters are really quite clever, like warez groups and such. They live to make complex cheats, and release them saying "I G0t m4|> s|{i11z"
All it takes is for one such person to crack anti-cheat measures and the cycle starts anew.
Actually, it looks like comedy is the intended effect. Otherwise they wouldn't be using Goku, Sailor Moon, and (sortof) Matrix effects, and Darth Vader wouldn't have Mickey Mouse ears.
It's coming to me now: They'd have the power pack dead center on the chest, with a bright red label pointing to it that says "Weak point. Do not shoot!"

Holy crapola, that's expensive.

Did you mean: pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis gangrene?
Satan has bought a ski lift.
In a press conference held earlier today, he stated, "Slashdot needed an excuse to post something good about Windows."
Java's really slow. Point?

Oopsp, my bad.. Yes, you're all right, I completely forgot about the PS/2 computers that spawned the ports.

Yes they are.
They patented it, thus you can't legally write yourself a copy.

Besides, ps2 won't read GDs.
What he means is that less lamers will pay per month to play the game, so there won't be as many on pay servers.
Sure it can. Open up an MSDOS prompt and type:
copy con blah.bat
@echo off
cls
echo Segmentation fault. Core dumped.
^Z
blah
I think you meant this.
Yah, don't UPS's do that?
Just like IGN Insider.
What're they going to download it with?

Windows (at least 9x) comes with progman.exe, just in case you want to retain the win3.1 look and feel and don't want IE integrated into your shell.

Great! Now it won't balls up my tables!
When it loses it's unbearable slowness it may have me as a user.
but as a frequent recipient of the sharp end of the DoS stick, I sure wish it wasn't an issue.
You're a frequent recipient of DoS attacks? What about the sites linked to in Slashdot articles?
