Lawyers

After drafting a will for an elderly client, the lawyer announced a fee of $100.
The client gave the lawyer a $100 bill.
After the client left, the lawyer saw that the client had in fact paid $200, as two of the client's $100 bills had stuck together.
Looking at the $100 overpayment, an ethical question arose in the lawyer's mind: "Do I tell my partner?"

Nintendo DS emulation
by: MaxEm
December 7, 2007, 2:23 pm
The Nintendo DS emulation scene is happening right now with respectable DS emulators available for Windows and Linux - sorry Mac peeps - support for OSX is currently off the radar.
The DeSmuME Nintendo DS emulator provides reasonable emulation for commercial and home-brewed ROMs. You can download it right from this site (pick your OS below and go).
Illegal DS ROMs can be found on eMule, Usenet, and BitTorrent. Be careful; ROM images remain under copyright and should not be used. Don't break the law yo - but look, if you own the ROM then you can safely procure it and not overly worry about hungry nintendo ds lawyers knocking on your door.
The Nintendo DS emulation scene is a work in progress with regular updates to existing binaries, new ROMS are constantly released, and there is an active homebrew ROM scene which is very cool.
The DS is a powerful little component. A P4 or higher is recommended for this wild emulator. MaxEm

PS3 eta 2009-11

OF COURSE emulation of the Sony Playstation 3 does not exist for current home technology. You would need a couple quadcore processors and about $800 invested in superfast SLI graphics adapters so forget about it. It is only recently that modern systems can handle decent emulation of the PS2.
The PS3 is going to be around for a long time and it is going to be quite a while before anyone faithfully emulates this beast - if ever - the PS3 is a complicated mass of machinery. It will take a major endeavor to emulate its many components, but given enough time - let's say 20 years, it'll probably be beautifully emulated on your holographic iphone or something. Time will tell.
Sony must have learned a lot about Web 2.0 and Wikinomics because they did an about-face with the PS3 by providing a boot loader allowing open source software to be run..but they still stuck us with a blue-ray DVD player in a console that nobody wants.
So you can install Linux to the PS3 but apparently it sucks. Here's the question - why does Linux suck on the PS3?

eta 2009-11 XBOX 360

XBOX 360 emulators are roughly 2-3 years away or perhaps sooner. Systems running an Intel quad-core processor and ATI Radeon 1950 series or equivalent nVideo workhorse should experience a tidy emulation.
Why do we need an XBOX 360 emulator? Halo 4, perhaps - play it on your PC a year or two before M$ gets around to asking you $60 for it.
