i always thought console companies made their money off the games and not the hardware, they should know that china has rampant piracy, does it really make sense for them to release the ps2 there?
How about the all-in-one-wonder? Nowadays, with companies downsizing and only keeping the bare minimum amount of people, system/network admins have to be wearing multiple hats anyways.
In an apparent attempt to stem telephone company revenue losses due to Internet telephony, the government of Panama has decreed that 46 UDP ports be blocked by all Internet service providers.
The ports include ones that are commonly used for voice over IP as well as some that are used for other purposes, apparently with the idea that these, too, could be used to circumvent the POTS (plain old telephone system, a term of art) in making telephone calls.
In the decree, the Panamanian government requires "that within 5 days of publication, all ISPs will block the 46 UDP ports used for VoIP and any other that could be used in the future (which could end up being all UDP ports)," according to a reporter and computer consultant there, and that "the ISPs will block in their firewall or main router and in all their Border routers that connect with other autonomous systems."
This "unequivocally decrees that all routers, including those not carrying traffic from Panama, but that might be traversing Panama, have the 46 UDP ports blocked."
The significance of the government action affects areas far beyond that nation. Due to its geographical location, numerous undersea cables connect in the country, making it a substantial hub for international IP traffic.
Among the services that are to be disrupted are NetMeeting, Dialpad, and Net2phone, which labels itself "communication without borders," a claim which apparently will no longer be true if one of those borders is Panamanian or communication is between two countries whose IP traffic passes through Panama.
The decree is apparently rooted in complaints by Cable & Wireless Panama (Motto: "If you're worried about your data, voice, or Internet service provider, we're here to help"), which says it is losing money due to users employing the Internet to make otherwise expensive internetional telephone calls -- calls that would otherwise be listed on Cable & Wireless bills.
Among the services that employ some of those ports are "nlockmgr," the NFS lock manager responsible for rpc.statd and rpc.lockd, which in turn are responsible for crash recovery functions for locked files and for processing file locking requests, respectively; telnet; and numerous VoIP services.
In addition to those who wish to save on their phone bills, the government order blocks the perfectly lawful use of those ports by businesses that have legitimate VoIP applications allowed in the country.
There were reports late Sunday that Panamanian ISPs were planning a demonstration aimed at exhibiting their displeasure with the government action.
There is a web based email right now that does some of the things listed in that article you linked to.

The important design objectives of the Network Voice Protocol (NVP) are:
- Recovery of loss of any message without catastrophic effects.
Therefore all answers have to be unambiguous, in the sense that
it must be clear to which inquiry a reply refers. - Design such that no system can tie up the resources of another
system unnecessarily. - Avoidance of end-to-end retransmission. - Separation of control signals from data traffic. - Separation of vocoding-dependent parts from vocoding-independent
parts. - Adaptation to the dynamic network performance. - Optimal performance, i.e. guaranteed required bandwidth, and
minimized maximum delay. - Independence from lower level protocols.
If you checked out the website, you would have seen that they attachment offers two slots for SD cards for a maximum of 512M of MP3 music to be stored. how you get those MP3 files on those SD cards are your problem.
Is that a Gameboy Advance with an MP3 attachment or are you happy to see me?!
It would have been better if they incorporated the SD cards in the same space as the board (if it was possible)...

Go figure... my IE isn't coming with anything when I hit the above link.
Yeah, you can 'rm -rf /' a company's system 170% faster right after you get laid off!

I dunno about the other spam and fraud... but as far as pr0n goes...
(1) create something that satisfies basic human urges
(2) ???
(3) PROFIT!!!
i also auggest using a download utility such as flashget since i'm not getting anything past an average of 5k/sec on initial tests.
also, they only accept 2 concurrent connections from one IP.
They can start by stopping ICMP packets from going from RIAA's and MPAA's websites to anyone (takes care of DOS problem).
As for hacking... oh screw it... just add a nice rule to the router that deny traffic coming from the RIAA or MPAA.

Actually, looking at the website and a picture of their product... it does look like it has it's own headphone jack on top of the cartridge.

What we REALLY need are "X-Ray" eyes to see through things.
