They probably don't so they can sell you an adapter to use your keyboard on the console. (Another $$ accessory) PS2 has USB so you might be able to use a spare USB keyboard. So no adapter should be needed. XBox has usb w/ non-standard connector, would need adapter to get it to a standard connector and then it should work (I beleive the PSO keyboard adapter for XBox is just that, XBox plug -> Std. Usb Plug). Gamecube has adapters availble for plugging a keyboard in via the controller port. (and there exists some funky controller/keyboard combos) Dreamcast had keyboards and adapters(to PS/2) to the controller ports.
I think they might not also have it because they want it to be a video game console and not a PC. I read somewhere (can't remember) that Nintendo(maybe Microsoft, but Nintendo seems more correct) didn't want a web browser in its online games because it was to be a game console and not a PC.
In a Nintendo Power they mentioned it was still illegal(2-3 years ago IIRC). However just for fun lets look at this block of legal text from a Gamecube game manual I have(last page)(3 games, exact some block in all 3 of the manuals)(This one from Smash Brothers Melee):
WARNING: Copying of any Nintendo game is illegal and is strictly prohibited by domestic and international intellectual property laws. "Back-up" or "archival" copies are not authorized and are not necessary to protect your software. Violators will be prosecuted.
Now they are calling it software I think (what I think don't mean squat though) in most cases you are allowed to make backup/archival copies of software. I think the ROM images were in limbo because technially software but almost considered hardware (plug in, it works. Newer games using optical media, need to read the data into memory(hardware) to use it)
On a side "not necessary to protect your software", does this mean that A) Discs don't scratch, B) Incredible error recovery so scratches don't matter, or C) The discs aren't actually used for data at all, just to prove you purchased the game and the data magically gets into the Gamecube. or I guess another option: D) They will replace the disc at a significantly lower cost than you buying the game again @ retail (i.e. just shipping and handling). Any body got any thoughts on this?
If you play with it you can get it to catch it, this seems to work for me, and it gets tossed into the junk mail folder. Deliver mail that contains staff@hotmail.com in the from addr to my Junk Mail folder. Deliver mail that contains staff@hotmail.com in the from name to my Junk Mail folder.
@ WSU ( Washington State ) my friend lost all network because of excessive uploads (pre-finding the upload limiting BT client, he could live with the limited download speed). They could never tell him what the limits were after he jumped through the hoops to get his network back on. Now that he is working for the computer people they all seem to agree that there is no real "excessive," it varries from day to day and seems to be more on who the top is (One day I got warned in top 10 @ 25 KB/sec (little too much Freenet outbound)). Of course right now the downloads(everything, www, ftp, ect. BT is blocked @ Packet Shaper) suck because: 7 subnets, each subnet has 7Mb/sec allocated to it. Ok for the 400 people, but I'm on a 1200 person subnet. Makes me yearn for my old 56K modem some days. (Ok, not that much but before they did that I could grab 500-800 KB/sec at almost anytime(and would worry on big things because my outbound traffic was up in the 20-30KB/sec just to ack the packets), now my average hovers around 10-20 KB/sec). On weekends that are almost using one of the T-3s to the campus, even during the week the 2 T-3s aren't being maxed. (Watch it it says max of 155Mb/sec but only 2 T-3s are installed (unless they added another once since Jan 2003) )
My easiest way around the block they are doing, SSH to home(they aren't filtering anything), bittorrent stuff there, upload via SSH to computer @ school. Have to limit the upload from home computer so that they can still get decent internet access abilities (512Kb/sec down, 128Kb/sec up. 10 KB/sec up to me seems to be a good number)
With the Xbox you can use the remote control, and some of the newer universal remotes offer the xbox controller as a DVD player. The apps need to support it, but the major ones listed (media playing, and DVDs) do support the remote. While I prefer the controller, the remote will work and if everything else in your setup is dark colored, it will fit in fairly well.
Not really scientific, but my sophomore year of HS in the computer tech class(at that time 10 people) we had an average height of about 6'0.5". When I graduated from High School we had 2 guys about 6'6", and several others above 6'. (Myself being the average sophomore year, and 6'2" @ graduation). The teacher of this class was one of the shorter people (not counted in the prevous average) at, I think, 5'7"ish. Kinda a top heavy class (both in height and the year in school of the people).
Funniest thing concerning heights was Yearbook my senior year. We had one person (freshman) whose parents were going to give her $500 if she was over 5' by the time she was 21 (maybe it was 18, I can't remember)(can't remember how close she was to making the goal), and we also had one guy (one of the same guys as the tech class) who was 6'6". A nice big >18" seperation between tallest and shortest in the class.
The "*" was load the first thing on the disk (that was a program I assume) It was a wildcard so say you have a "Aone" "Bone" you could just go "A*" to load "Aone", but remember it matches the first one so if your dir listing went "Atwo" "Aone" it would load "Atwo" (Of course it's been a while since I did this, but I think this is correct")
I think you mean Rapidograph and not Rapidgraph (just a Google suggestion, and most places to order online seem to use that spelling with an "o" as well)
I have the same mother board, at least under Linux it shows me a 6-port USB 2.0 device (line from usbview: Speed: 480Mb/s (high)) with the EHCI driver loaded, and 3 2-port USB 1.0/1 devices as well (when the UHCI module is loaded). Could it be that what ever OS you are running (ie Win2K SP3 or earlier I believe is one that doesn't do USB 2.0 HiSpeed speeds ) doesn't support the USB 2.0 ports, or at least the EHCI interface? (And don't forget the BIOS options to turn on the USB 1.1 controller and the USB 2.0 controller)
More info about the ARRLs take on that:here. They point out that channels 1-6 fall within the amateur band around 2.4 GHz, and if they get modified within the part 97 allowances for amateurs they could use them instead of the slower packet radio (although I have read about 5-10Mb/s links, but they are more for backbones between the slower areas).
So yes it is posible, just remember that you can't encode/encrypt to obscure the meaning of the data. (Although I have never read anything about putting a passowrd, you might run into trouble because some OSes (i.e. Windows 95B & later ) encrypt the password before sending it).
It's actually kind of funny how people see the mouse on the left side and assume I'm left handed...
Had that same thing happen to me, moslty because I am too lazy to stretch my arm over(the left side of my body was next to the desk because of how the chair was), but I had someone ask because I didn't seem uncomfortable using the mouse with my left hand (With normal-right hand button mappings)
Look at one of the articles off of Goolge News, it seems as if they don't like the $0.07/song/listener, and would like to have it set at 3-5% of the revenue that is generated.
Gabriel's organization would like to see the per performance royalties eliminated. Instead, a flat percentage of commercial Webcaster revenues, somewhere between 3 and 5 percent, would be a fair fee to pay, she said.
Using that # let connections on port 22 in iptables -A INPUT -i $EXTINF -p tcp --syn --dport 22 -j ACCEPT # let FTP servers get back iptables -A INPUT -i $EXTINF -p tcp -m state --state RELATED --dport 1024:65535 -j ACCEPT # refuse anything else connecting to me iptables -A INPUT -i $EXTINF -p tcp --syn --dport 1:65535 -j REJECT (or DROP) is nice too, because that way even if someone does get in and open a connection on a port somewhere, they can't get to it unless it takes over a port that has been allowed. Yes, I had a machine get rooted, SSL and Apache had something up and they got in that way, noticed on a netstat they had something, deleted it, shutdown the SSL stuff and did stuff like that(yes I got rid of the stuff they put on. Person was using fstab for a program name listening on a SSH server on a high port, what an idiot), only pass a few ports now, 80,22,113, and a few ports for filesharing programs that get forwarded to internal machines so that the firewall can't utilize them for anything else.
This shouldn't be too much of a surprise I think. The main menu for the Linux kernel has "Amateur Radio" options in it. So they have taken the time to add support for AX.25 (a variation of X.25 used for packet radio) and added it to the kernel as well as drivers for a bunch of interfaces. Last time I played with it (about kernel 2.2.12) it worked fine and connected to the rest of the packet users without any problems. Made it really easy to pass packets destined for the AMPR out from my network at home.
Actually, they update the dashboard (what the exploit plays with) when you install the Xbox Live stuff, they could just set it up to do that when someone connects to Live, or on major game release have it auto-check and offer to update it.
At least this is my understanding (and yes the Live stuff does play around with the dir structure on the Xboxes I have seen.)
I think the CVD he is refering to is the China Video Disc More info here about the China Video Disc Format, which seems to be a variation of the SVCD format. I think it is supposed to be a type of DVD thing developed in China so they wouldn't have to play ball with the DVDCCA but I am not sure on that anymore.
What about the Internet Explorer Administration Kit. It lets you set the options for a customized distrobiution of IE for w/in your company. You can set it up so it installs in the background and reboots the computer when done. You would still need someway of pushing it to the desktops but it would be one download from MS for what ever version of the browser and then it just gets distributed w/in your company.
Dang, we only had a mix of Bomberman 2 and 3 on a big screen in one of the dorms last night/this morning. Only went 4 hours but was really strange ending at 3 AM. The one level (9 I think) in Bomberman 3 with the seasaws, yeah we were calling that one seizure city.

They have some ISA and PCI -> Serial cards aviable that lets you serial port what would normally be on the screen (text only).
Depending on the legacy system this might be workable.
They probably don't so they can sell you an adapter to use your keyboard on the console. (Another $$ accessory)

Recordable CDROM, isn't that an oxymoron of some sort?
Hence the CD-R(ecordables)

I'm glad I'm not the only one that noticed that.
Of course what are people doing critiquing the code in a comic strip.....

Ack, read that wrong, $0.0007/song/listener, dang people putting 0.07 cents and me misinterperting it.
-Information Week Article
Using that
# let connections on port 22 in
iptables -A INPUT -i $EXTINF -p tcp --syn --dport 22 -j ACCEPT
# let FTP servers get back
iptables -A INPUT -i $EXTINF -p tcp -m state --state RELATED --dport 1024:65535 -j ACCEPT
# refuse anything else connecting to me
iptables -A INPUT -i $EXTINF -p tcp --syn --dport 1:65535 -j REJECT (or DROP)
is nice too, because that way even if someone does get in and open a connection on a port somewhere, they can't get to it unless it takes over a port that has been allowed.
Yes, I had a machine get rooted, SSL and Apache had something up and they got in that way, noticed on a netstat they had something, deleted it, shutdown the SSL stuff and did stuff like that(yes I got rid of the stuff they put on.

The method they use (CSS) I beleive is public, its just the keys they use to decrypt it that aren't supposed to be public.

I don't think it is law, it is a volunteer thing done by the movie industry.
The movie rating system is a voluntary system sponsored by the Motion Picture Association of America and the National Association of Theatre Owners...
