It's hard to describe how stupid it is to use floats to store numbers that are never valid unless they are integers, especially when dealing with net code in any capacity.

Convert to char[], seek '.', drop '.' and everything to the right of it, verify number is within Int range, convert to Int

It gets better re Pystar...

"But now Psystar is selling a bootloader which is primarily based on someone else's work. No credit was given or permission asked to use the code and sell it as a closed-source commercial product."

Well I wouldn't exactly build a PC for that purpose   But I may tinker with it on existing boxes.  But I'd hate to be on the business end of a DRM style, example making, "pirate" sweep  

It's like hacking into an ATM would be easier
