How can someone be so damned silly enough to think there's no use for it... Man, a FULL x86 EMULATOR written in Javascript! Possibilities are endless. The point isn't just to run Linux, but anything that is written in C, and that you want to run in your browser. ANYTHING. Running Linux is just a proof of concept.

Bellard wrote FF-Mpeg, Qemu, and now this. I have no words to express my admiration for his talent.
