They don't allow standards-compliant browsers to do the test because they hold Java to its security regulations of not allowing it to access any page except for one on the same server that referenced the applet.
I'd like to beg to differ... oh whats the point. The government is trying to do its job for once. They are calling this whole thing "providing for the general welfare".
Really? Really? You made an html5/javascript version of freeciv? A better goal would be to make freeciv for the GPU. There it would suffer an extreme boost of power. GPU's these days have something like 256 cores to do all there processing, and never use more then like 4 (are my numbers correct?) plus most have on-board RAM, allowing them to process data more often, reducing the impact that the speed of light has.
The major advantage to the consumer buying a 6 core processor is that games capible of multi-threading will have an exponentially more advanced Artificial Intelligence. So, the games should be more of a challenge to everyone, not just the person who plays it all the time.

We've known this for a while, those who actually care to read.
Really? 2 corrections. Mac OSX not supported (according to the website). And Linux is a kernal, not an OS

Don't forget, you have to pay up some more money if they do succed

A CPU that can actually efficiently run my Artificial Intelligence program... if each core is 1.5x scaler.
