Whoa... it was only a matter of time. But, I think I'll just stick to using Dreamcast Linux to telnet to my university shell account...
They say that the hackers are white hat but then they say that they are going to spread the software on their web sites to app kiddies.

Wow! But then again... computers are very powerful these days. They say a NES could provide more than enough processing power to power an Apollo spacecraft.

All the power in the latest computer really is far far more than you need for most practical things. The reason they use older hardware with lower 'speed' and 'power' is the older hardware they are using they have learned how to get the error level to extreamly small or none. You wouldn't want the latest Intel chip bugging out and then have your space shuttle crash into a forign country. The hertz count might be near to an old Nintendo, but an old Nintendo would have way more errors than the hardware they are using so they actually wouldn't use things like NES. Some submarines also use older technology that the designers have mastered and minimized or removed the chance of hardware errors.
