Winamp 5 includes 2 modes, one for old computers with low ammounts of memory, and the other for people who want the nice stuff. During install choose the classic gui and it should be alot faster for you.
I run a 50 man lan, and let me tell you gamers can be a bitch.
First know your community, and beware of its attitude. If you live in CS land where your not cool if you don't know what an AWP is, expect some really mean gamers. I have had people who literly have threatned me because I did not run the lan the way they wanted it.
Second, splurge on the networking equipment. It will save you headaches. For the last lan we borrowed 3 cisco 2900 switches, my dear god the difference. Its like night and day with those things.
Third, security. Know everyone, if you dont know them, have a person go get to know them. You need someone devoed to checking people in and finding out about people.
Fourth, Protect the admin tabe with your life. I know from my lans the admin table is the messiest, and has the most hardware lieing about, waiting to be taken. Make an off limits rule and enfore it.
Finally, don't expect to play a single pc game the entire night. You might, if you have them rigged up, get to play a console game simply because you can jump off those in a matter of seconds, but someone always has an issue, and it does not stop
ISP's rely on the fact that you are not going to be using all your bandwidth all the time to make their money off you. If you have 200 computers behind nat odds are one of them is going to be doing something at sometime. Your isp is going to come down on you faster than a catholic priest

Slightly Incorrect. Doom 3 and Quake 4 both use OpenGL.

For 10 a year you can buy a domain, build a box, load server side spam protection, and sell it to your friends and coworkers for profit. Capitalism++
Don't know status of japenese law, but wouldn't this be illegal under US law because you are costing them money by calling them every 20 seconds?
When did OS X defunk itself. I Still see Mac desktops crashing daily with extension issues and slowing up for no paticular reason.
