    You mean the model H3760?

    ... Erm, sorry. That's 3760000000. They release too many of these things. And, it only costs 1/8 of it's model number, like the rest do!

    Well, but even if they locked down an emulator to non-commercial games, I'll bet thet Big N would go after them anyway. Plus, remember UltraHLE? No R**s were distributed there, but they still got sued....

  12. HELLO. on MacSlash Up at macslash.org · · Score: 1

    Hello, wake up. I just read the whole comments thing, and through my (broken) Spanish, I can understand some of what Vicente was saying. Basically, he was saying that he legitimately got the domain name, that he is not a thief, that he is now being FLOODED with insulting e-mail, and that he's trying to be helpful. So, what I'm saying is that there is apparently a little bit of misreporting here. Also, I'm guessing that crapflooding this poor guy is not going to get him to give the domain back - why don't we leave him alone?

    But again, these are just MHOs.

    Now that's what I call a Slashdotting!!

    Now, let's do the math, how many mebibytes* wasted...

    241 MB * 4,000,000 Readers each downloading * (63/64) because about 98.4% have no clue what the file actually _IS_ turns out to be.... 948,937,500 out of 964,000,000 MebiBytes wasted.

    * Mebibyte = 1048576 bytes = 2^20, Megabyte = 1000000 = 10^6.

    Close.

    As the creators of the content, they should have the right to control how and when that content is made available. And to whom.

    And they do. Go ahead, Dallas News, go and do a HTTP-Referer check. It's really simple. But don't complain to me that you don't know how and that I shouldn't link.
