I'd just like to warn anyone considering installing the custom firmware above that they are old versions, there are newer and better supported custom firmware versions out there.
I happen to have both a DS and a PSP, and I can say without a doubt that if you are into homebrew the PSP is your best bet.
Besides the more powerful hardware the primary advantage is the single storage standard. Homebrew only needs to know how to access the MSPro and that is is, compared to the DS this is a dream. With the DS you need to either program homebrew specifically for the flash device you are using or go with DFDI patches. This is good in theory but in reality the DS homebrew scene is full of almost working apps.
The PSP on the other hand just requires a firmware downgrade followed by a custom firmware flash and you are good to go, the whole process takes about 30 minutes if you have a supported PSP and downgrades are coming out all the time.
Now each systems have their own benefits, and that is why I have both, but to say the PSP is a bad system is a just unfair. I could say that the DS is underpowered, hurts to hold for a long time and needs a better screen and is too difficult to get homebrew working on, but that would be completely avoiding all the good points of the system.
Internet censorship already happens in Australia, there is a list of banned sites and newsgroups that no ISP in Australia can give access to. You can't find out what sites are on the list either, because the list is secret.
However if, for example, a massive Persian army attempted to attack north America their army would have to squeeze through this small gap before they could mount their assault. By my reckoning it would only take a very small force to hold them back for long enough to bring in reinforcements.
Well that is only one way of thinking about it. I'd prefer, if I was a parent, to have bullying cases handled in schools. While I don't dismiss bullying is a serious problem, I think it is better to have it handled by teachers and parents before dragging the police into it.
What if your son was bullying another child? Chances are they have picked on other students before. Would you want the police called? Or would you prefer to be informed by teachers so you could discipline your child?
I think it's safe to say the vast majority of people have "bullied" another person in the past, I look back at how I was as a kid and I'm disgusted at some of the things I did. Children are cruel, susceptible to peer pressure and will get into fights.
Obviously there are always going to be exceptions to the rule, people that cross the line and parents that just don't care. In this case the police should be involved, but the vast majority of the time I believe it would be much more effective to have parents sort their children out rather then police.
The satellite was configured to retransmit on certain channels, the LTE simply beamed up a signal on a channel that wasn't in use but was configured to retransmit if something was being sent to it.
This got me thinking. How many users are out there that know their computer was infected or screwed with while they were visiting a porn site, and are too afraid of getting fired (for looking at porn) to tell IT that something is wrong.
Apple sells the iPods to the stores at pretty much the price you pay for it. There is very little profit in selling them, with the exception of all the indirect profit from people buying other stuff while they are there.
They could drop the prices as much as they wanted but they would be losing money then.
My situation is kind of different. I have a girlfriend and a full time job. The only time I get to sit down in front of a computer to play games is on the weekend. Week days are taken up with cooking, cleaning and generally living. I simply don't have time to sit down for an extended session of Civ or CS or whatever.
I went and got myself a DS for Christmas and I love it. The games aren't necessarily better or that much different to what I could be playing on PC. However I can now sit next to my girlfriend when she is watching Gilmore Girls while I play. Furthermore when something happens that demands my attention I can just quickly close my DS and give that attention. It pauses my game and will stay like that for days before the batteries run out.
Now I'm on the look out for a PSP as well.
It may not seem obvious why Blue Ray was included if you are sitting in North America reading this, but elsewhere in the world HD-DVD and Blue Ray aren't out yet.
In a few days people will be able to purchase PS3's in my country and along with that Blue Ray titles. HD-DVD hasn't even been hinted at being released over here. No one even knows what it is, but Blue Ray is (almost) here and people know about it.
So perhaps Sony wasn't the first to the market in the US, but in the rest of the world they certainly were and as far as I can tell "Market in the Rest of the world" > "Market in the US"
Hang on, Australian broadband sucks but it doesn't suck this hard.
Most, and by that I mean about 98% of, Australian isps have a stated download limit before you are shaped. Plus if we don't like our isp we are free to change. That isn't how it works in the US, where you have one, maybe two ISPs you can choose.
If you have a suck plan, and by the sounds of it you do, you should change. Internode is a great isp, I get an 8mbps plan with free premium usenet access and a 40gb limit for $90 a month. You don't have to believe me, check out whirlpools latest survey results, Internode comes out on top in every question.

1. Very Carefully.
2. The latency on satellite links is a deal breaker. Amongst a heap of other reasons.

Yes I'm sure North America has no real interest in purchasing oil and natural gas from Russia.

Just my two cents.
If you don't see a difference I'd direct you here to the website of popular Rap duo "Kriss Kross". This page hasn't been updated since about 1996.
See the difference now?
The Australian Government banned Duke Nukem 3D!

Sounds to me like your city needs more round-abouts.
You know, that chick with the snuke up her sniz.
I think that is because they needed to compress about 8 hours of television into 2 hours.
I liked the movie, Malcolm Reynolds shot first!

Food for thought.

If you truly believe any of that I suggest you have a read through this
And you try and tell the young people of today that ..... they won't believe you.
Pease mod the parent up. I'd truly like to see him get asked a question that isn't about the price.

Your DHCP server is probably causing the holdup, try configuring a manual IP address.
With that said I can't for the life of me understand why the boot up doesn't try to acquire an IP address as a parallel process.
I know exactly how far you'd get with an average Philosophy student:
Lifting the plastic bottle out of the water in their bucket bong then taking a drag
Come on no, the sega master system had Alex the kid built right into the box. Turn it on without a cart and there it was.

I don't know, it seems to have worked out okay for Richard Branson.
