umm... huh?
we aren't "sure" that forms of "life" don't exist that thrive in environments we wouldn't currently consider "hospitable" to them.
i was pointing out the lack of deterministic scientific information in the headline.
i like MIPS... in college, we had one semester of hands on lab work learning everything about a specific MIPS implementation, then another semester writing a compiler capable of compiling itself for the architecture.
once you can grasp the simplicity and understand exactly whats going on in the chip, features like HyperThreading seem almost stupid because of how much complexity and exceptions they add to the system.
my mac mini only pulls 14W and isn't far behind your current desktop in performance.
my fit-pc2 only pulls 6W.
relative to power consumption, both of those machines are easily besting super computers from the 80s as well as your current desktop.
why should a language do anything to bring libraries into language constructs other than allowing for user defined namespaces, classes, and methods? you want to overload math operators some more?
they don't "attempt" to have "any" consistency?? "ANY"? i see lots of consistency... did they not attempt to do that?

if we were never sure that it couldn't "be hospitable to life", then nothing has changed.
postgres?
to some decision makers, that is the same thing...
i think it would be much much more draconian to not actively support and enable third party viewers at all...
