There has to be some mistake there. If certain brows
er publisher/developers found out that Yahoo was doi
ng this they could get into some deep shit. Perhaps
that image was manifested by some warez junkie and "
hacked" onto various Yahoo pages? I know that sounds
  kinda far fetched but c'mon, do you seriously think
  Yahoo would support piracy? It's just not possible
for a company with such a high reputation to uphold.

Thats totally stupid.. I would use up 1 gig in email
s within 10 years... and thats with deleting all the
  spam i get.. but if emails aren't deletable then 10
% (or more) of emails will be spam (the high percent
age is coz I am getting lots of 'mail undelievered'
spam/viruses lately... at a quick glance I can say I
  have about 7 or 8 in my Inbox tonight (out of 97 em

Personally I like/need folders.... I have 10 in my
yahoo account.. 1 for Amiga stuff, 1 for Dreameye/DE
  Girl images, 1 for important stuff to keep (account
  password reminders etc.) etc. and having to search
for specific items would be a potential nightmare (o

I noticed that. But that was quickly
evident it was a joke....just seeing
pigeons at pc's gave it away
immediately.

This seems legit to me because of the
seriousness tone and the fact they ask
for an email addy for those interested
in beta testing the new program.

1 gig is allocated but I don't think you
can store a bunch of large files, etc.
etc. so theorectically the average user
won't ever come close to using that kind
of storage. Personally I like the
concept of a folderless searchable email
archive.

If it is a joke I'll admit I got taken,
hook, line and sinker.

Last year's pigeonrank page is still up, too.  I just don't feel it's
financially possible for any company to offer a gig of space per user

I think it's legit. It's now April 4 and
the offer is still up. From the FAQ

10. Why is Google offering email? I
thought you were a search company.

Google's mission is to organize the
world's information and make it
universally useful and accessible. For
many people, email contains valuable
information that can be difficult to
retrieve. We believe we can help with
that.

And they specify 1 gig of storage. It
seems messegages never get deleted and
will be searchable, hence the need for a
lot of space.

blueswirl_fr@...

actually karl the item is being so rare now that it could be sold at a
higher price than when it was launched, so i dont think the fact its
used should be taken in consideration in their offer. they just know
they will be able to sell it at least with a 200% marge.
now that may be a good idea if some people had their bba lying
somewhere in their room and they dont use it, 50$ is still better than
nothing and some people would make a better usage of them.
anyway, i hope the fact that more bba will be sold will make the
prices decrease, its definitely an unvaluable item for programmers.

Perhaps they've hired more pigeons for the PigeonRank system, and have
lots of extra space?

I'm pretty sure it's an april fools joke from google.  Info about it was
released at the very end of march 31st.

I agree, that must be a typo, 1000MB is alot. Though
  ISP and email sites often do offer lots of space wh
ilst relatively small and new.

I doubt Yahoo! could offer that sort of space with a
ll the millions of users they have.

My email account is 25MB (I pay for it though) and s

Did I read that right? Did it say 1000 MB of storage space per account? How can

Sounds too good to be true. Although the prospect of not needing folders to

un-fucking-believable is right...
i somehow become the "enemy of the dc browser community" trying to uphold
their rules and now this...  i reloaded the page a few times to get it to show
up, and, it eventually did...  right there in front of god and everybody;  a
yahoo sponsored link selling backups on yahoo groups...  on dcbg, even, where
the single most dividing issue EVER has been about warez/custom browsers,
etc....
no, this doesn't change the group policy, that remains until they actually
change their t.o.s., but, jeez, talk about "do as i say, not as i do"...

think i'll go look for a wall to bang my head on for awhile...

I kinda see your point but there is one
thing you neglected to mention. Your BBA
is a USED item. You bought it originally
NEW. Fact is used items (games,
hardware, periphials, etc) lose value
once out of the mfg.packaging.

Still, $50 does seem a bit low.

Hi,

I received the e-mail from Lik-Sang too. At first I thought that it
was a joke or some kind of spam but no, is true.. The sender is
service(at)lik-sang.com and the number of the order they're talking
about is the same that I did the year 2002.

Subject: We pay $50 for your Dreamcast Broadband Adapter [PGT.0.63666]

"Hi <my name and last name here>,

Do you still have the [Dreamcast Broadband Adapter] you bought from us
a looong time ago?

We'd like to buy it back for US$ 50 (PayPal, Money Bookers or Store
Credit). Yes, that's right, we 'd like to give you $50 for it!

Please note that we can only buy adapters that actually work. If you
still have the packing of it, please also include it when sending the
DC Broadband Adapter back to us.

Please send your adapter to the following address. It's usually OK to
use Airmail as it is inexpensive and can be registered so that the
parcel is not likely to be lost on the way.

Pacific Game Technology (Holding) Limited
ATTN: Johnson Cheng, DC-BBA 63666
Unit 17B, 17/F, Broadway Centre
93 Kwai Fuk Road, Kwai Chung
New Territories, Hong Kong

Please make sure that you have the Order No (63666) clearly visible
outide of the parcel. Put a small note inside the parcel with the
Order No. again, and write down how you'd like to get paid (PayPal,
Money Bookers or Store Credit).

To refresh your memory, here is your original order (63666) that you
placed a long time ago:

1 x Dreamcast Broadband Adapter (Sega) US$ 119.00
1 x Shipping and Handling (EMS) US$ 28.00
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Total: US$ 147.00
=====================================================================

We are sending you this email because many DC programmers out there
can't get a DC Broadband Adapter, Sega discontinued the item :/

I have sent them an answer. Lik-Sang must think his customers are
idiots, that I'm idiot. They are offering to me $50 for a BBA that it
cost to me $119 plus $28 of shipping costs with EMS. They have even
remembered to me the price I paid for this item in 2002, thank you.
This is the way to treat potential customers?

They say too "We are sending you this email because many DC
programmers out there can't get a DC Broadband Adapter, Sega
discontinued the item :/" The BBA is discontinued since a lot of time
ago, is now that an unknown fever has begun and everybody wants to
program for DC and needs a BBA?. Not to mention the shameful
presumption and tone of the e-mail, something like "your BBA can be in
better hands, sell it to us". I have explained in my reply that my BBA
is in perfect condition, and I use it frequently. I care very well of
things.

What a pathetic excuse, they are Lik-Sang, probably the best known
online videogame shop and I suppose they can have access very easily
to the japanese market. Why don't they go and search for BBAs in Japan
or eBay, I don't need cheap arguments to try to buy from me for $50 an
item that cost me a lot more so that they can soon resell it by
probably a lot more. By the way, are they going to ask all people
interested in buying a BBA from them if they are programmers or
something?

Until now I had a very good feedback and consideration of Lik-Sang as
a good and reliable shop. Now I can affirm that probably I'll never
buy from them again in the future.

I just got an email from lik-sang asking if I still had the broadband
adapter I bought from them.  They offered me $50 to send it back to
them, because Dreamcast programmers are having a hard time finding one
since Sega discontinued it.

I'm keeping mine, since I'm a Dreamcast programmer too, and paid them
$119 before shipping for it :P

US PSO server went down Oct 1st/2nd 2003.
there is Private servers tho now,the 1st was made just a few months ago. there
is still a long way tho go tho before the private servers are perfect. so far
its great. there is a Buddy list that tells u when a buddy on the same server
logs on&off, v2 Quests got up a week or so ago, text is uncensored, and theyre
planing on trying to make new quests, and u plan play with PC PSO users.
to get on u'll need a CodeBreaker / Xploder or BBA.


>but anyway.  so why dosen't someone just make a server for the US pso.  and how
do you get on it.  because if you log on it says the servers are down?

my guess is things would load faster because your using a faster
connection.  but anyway.  so why dosen't someone just make a server
