Uh the psp isnt being homebrewed yet. There was a DS emulator out before the DS was:P (Okay, it was all based on assumptions, but still!)
Check out the psp-linux.org forums. Those people are too stupid to get anything running on the psp:P The only hope for psp dev is if the DS gets finished off and all of the people involved with it give the psp a shot.
Read the summary stupid, thats what the author said. Didn't mean it the exact same way as the parent implied they did, but its a very humourous sentance.
Sure PPC is better than x86, but it's not much of a reason to switch. Unless I guess if you program in 100% assembly and can write bitching vector code.

Tell that to the developers.
Again, emulation isn't that simple. Your forgetting the 3D GPU, dual core 2D chip and APU. Using nintendo's emulator, which I'm guessing is pretty well made since they know the system 100%, developers have a hard time achieving real time speed. The problem is, that x86 can't emulate certain things (not always to do with speed) well at all because of some of its limitations (lack of registers being one.) and either way, the PSP's 333mhz cpu would never ever ever ever ever be able to emulate a DS at full speed.
The second screen on MP:H is used for some extra controls, map, score/rank. In multiplayer I'm constantly checking it. Can you not multitask or something?

Nah, the PSP needs to run things off the proprietary UMD disks. Solve that one. People are already making homebrewed DS games, running off of GBA carts (up to 1GB in size.) Plus, the PSP could *never* *ever* emulate a DS, you honestly know nothing about emulation. Sure you can emulate xbox on your PC, but it is a PC. According to developers, pentium 4 systems have a hard time emulating the DS at realtime speed. (Emulation is a *very* hard thing to do.)
There is always someone mentioning linx/lynx etc in any browser discussion, and they are the same person who brags about how much faster blackbox is than KDE. When we have 2GHz AMD64's and the like, you don't need to be minimal. Hell on my mac mini, playing around in OSX and doing casual surfing only takesa about 1% cpu power, so even if your doing something cpu intensive like compiling, 99% speed is just fine. Why would anyone actually use a CLI browser anymore? If you don't like images, then block *.jpg, *.jpeg, *.gif etc in AdBlock (or maybe there is something in about::config to not display images?) Then at least you get pretty colors in your pages, and better rendering then any CLI browser could promise. And, as long as your computer is younger than 10 years old, it won't be a huge impact on resources. (Yeah I know your post was probably meant as a joke, but just incase I had to rant)
How would zooming help your blind friend? AFAIK no matter how far you zoom, it doesn't get any clearer to people that can't see. Or am I missing a joke or something?

Guess what, most companies don't want to give back source code, and its apperant by how many companies are violating the GPL. Having the restrictions the GPL does, it causes the companies to give back, which helps the community. Take PearPC for example. CherryOS has (obviously) ripped the code from them, and claimed that they wrote it all (in a few months or something, by one man, with no programming experience, which is bullshit) Nowadays, PearPC doesn't get many updates, because everytime they do, CherryOS does too. It's dampened the whole thing for the developers. If CherryOS was forced to obey theGPL (which they will eventually, some organization like the EFF or something will take them to court) then this wouldn't happen. Now tell me how limiting restrictions would help this case.
AFAIK, there are some of the G$ altivec instructions which will crash on the G5, which is why some OSX apps had to be ported. Plus, they want it for the POWER PPC64 architecture anyway, so no.
No shit the dev kits cost alot. They do from Sony and especially MS too. They don't want "english grad student"s to start making games for their system, because then people can complain that platform xyz has alot of shitty games. It's always been this way, quit crying. The only reason that the GBA is "simple" to develop for, is because its a simple system. Anyway, if you check around the net for homebrew GBA games, you'll notice they are all demo's, or extremly simple, or just plain suck.
Now what I wish Nintendo would do is release the documentation for older systems, like the N64 etc
'cause then there would be an end to all things beggining having endings, and therefore things that became in the future may not neccissarily have an end. Or something.

Because the royalties are extremly high, didn't you read the article? Plus, it bars you from doing open source stuff with your code.
Why wasn't Greg Kirkpatrick or Alexander Seropian in this interview???? Anyone that has played the Marathon series knows what I mean.
You really don't know what your talking about do you? Obviously, anyways, the DS can do it, otherwise they wouldn't be making it. :)
