Because it took somebody with smarts to put a lot of work in, and now we all benefit, even those of us without a PSP. And buddy deserves the recognition, it's a lot of what keeps them going.
That's not the reason it won't work. PearPC provides a virtual PowerPC, that you then can install (PowerPC) OS X on, or any PowerPC OS. Bochs provides a virtual x86, that you then can install any x86 OS on, like (x86) OS X. (this is ignoring unknown challanges yet to be seen, but in theory...)
But you're not going to install OS X on the PSP because OS X requires a lot more memory than Windows 98, and the PSP doesn't have it.
Those days are largely over. More complicated games require more abstraction from the hardware, and the hardware now has to manage TCP, wireless, memory sticks, etc. The resulting code starts looking a lot like an OS.
Some questions; At what price for gas are you simply screwed? (when gas to get to work is costing more than it's worth). Do you believe this price is possible in the next 5 years? (are we in Peak Oil?). Have you though of any lifestyle changes other than buying a more efficient car?
I'm interested in how this topic is being dealt with (or not) in the suburban US. I live in a hippie town in Canada, and we all live in school buses. Well, not really, but I'm sure we have a different take on energy issues than middle america.
Let me tell you a secret, since you appear not to have travelled. In other countries, people drive much smaller cars than in the US. I thought the fact that USians like big cars was a given.
True, but Apple is in a much better place for it than Be ever was. Almost every computer user knows what a Mac is (fuzzily; 'it's better but more expensive'), while only tech types know what Be is. And OS X has tonnes of software available (and very good software), compared to what Be had.
Having already educated granny on the merits of slower PowerPC over Intel, and then re-educated granny on that same subject, I would guess Steve could probably get her beliving anything.
People seem to have it running natively on the right motherboards. I would have no problem building my next PC from a short list of parts if it meant I could run OS X.
The approach is different enough that it warrants new languages, or extensions to old ones, making the compilers job easier. Erlang comes to mind, and various extensions to other functional languages.
Sexual orientation is not protected in the US, and it's quite a recent addition here in Canada, also.
On a side note, I did some work years ago with a web design firm that had a lot of lefty gigs. Greenpeace, David Suzuki Foundation, etc. This fact undeniably lost me (and the company) other work.
In this day and age of skyrocketing game budgets, it's very cool to see a competitive engine being done by three guys in an ampartment. HDR, self shadowing, and an editor.
Maybe this engine will be licenced in a way that indy developers can use it.
Dunno, but the one at Chernobyl is taking up about 725,000 acres now.
A fuctioning pebble bed reactor would take less, of course, but mine and the other poster aboves points still stand, that you have to take all needed inputs (and unexpected outputs) into account.
Python is a great choice for a first language. Heck, it's a great last language, if you're not a pro. Ruby's OK, but python is more straightforward, while stil giving you lots of power.
Java's too verbose, C/C++ is too close to the hardware, and we probably shouldn't go that low for a fist language. PHP is too domain specific (and kinda cluncky). Ideally, your students would get a bit of exposure to several languages, so they can see some differences (typeing, etc)
This might be appropriate for a single guy on a budget, but we all know that scaling problems will keep this from being deployed in any serious environment.
The point of the FA was that by being so stingy with unlicensed spectrum, the pressure to innovate around the limits was high. The result is a class of devices that can happily co-inhabit a chunk of spectrum, thereby destroying the 'bandwidth is like real estate" concept.
WTF!? Are you suggesting that Linux is somehow not deterministic!? Are you insane? I'm typeing this on a Linux box, and when I hit the 'a' key, an 'a' appears. Just like it always does.
I did this with an Indy. Took out the hard drive, and the fan for the power supply and cooling (what the hell), and stuck in lots of RAM. Bingo, dead silent workstation/thin client with a 21 inch monitor for $50 CAN.

Some of you people might be, but I'm just waiting for my gentoo box to compile.

Are you retarded? The OP was noting that the torrent you find, might, in fact, be a troll. Perpetuating hate and bigotry, indeed. Get a fucking clue.
Your BIOS might support booting off it, or you could download a linux boot floppy/CD (DSLinux maybe) and use its bootloader.

Of course Real is being opportunistic and trying to tap in on the money from a large market. That's how one runs a buissness.

Really cool tattoo, BTW.
It made me feel warm inside.
Who said a language had to be fair?
