    Would it be so difficult to actually edit the story blurbs? You know... capitalize the beginning of a sentence? Add a couple spaces?

    For a while I thought that run.linux was the name of a new distro. You submitters, with your odd grammar ways...

  3. It doesnt run linux, It emulates Linux by scenestar · · Score: 1, Insightful

    this has been discussed before on the psplinux forums.

    sure, it might seem if it runs, but the actual goal is to have linux run on the actual native psp APIs.

    this is just a mere gimmick.

    Fuck off. No, really.

    We're sick and tired of your lame attempts to drum up traffic to your shitty website by spamming Slashdot comments.

    Spamming scum like you are the lowest of the low, happily pissing in the communal well because you think it might get you a couple more hits on your low-rent tedious site.

    The best bit it that you've picked the most retarded choice of target - Slashdot is generally frequented by technical types, and we're exactly the types who:

    • Know every lowlife spammer trick currently in use
    • Are constantly on guard against spamming fuckwits like you
    • Are likely to react strongly against spam and obnoxious advertising in general
    • Aren't fooled for a second by a tiny selection of sock-puppet accounts, and
    • Have the technical wherewithall to find out who owns your site, who provides the hosting, who's your technical or abuse contact, and exactly how to take the fucking thing off-line if it gets annoying enough


    In short, you're not doing yourself any favours by spamming anywhere, but most especially here. You're more likely to just get yourself boycotted or DOSed than to get a massive amount of traffic, and the majority of people I know who've noticed your spam have already boycotted your site.

    In short (for anyone who hasn't already realised), OVERHEARDINTHEUK.COM is conducting a spam advertising campaign - please mod down any posts by the accounts mentioned in the previous sibling post, and do not under any circumstances visit OVERHEARDINTHEUK.COM, unless you happen to have a spare botnet kicking around with nothing better to do...

    Many thanks for your time.

    Actually, it is much more CPU intensive to emulate the Atari 2600 than the SNES. And most modern NES emulators run much slower than ZSnes. Even the speedy NES emulators, like Nesticle and Loopynes will far too slow to even consider. This is Bochs we're talking about here, and on a High-Speed pentium 4, you can't get a decent framerate even in the fastest emulators.
