Most people have larger issues with the EMI (Electromagnetic Interference) and RFI (Radio Frequency Interference) from the effects of all the oscillators inside the boxes "beating" together. Even at the same advertised frequency, there's still a difference of a few hertz, which causes the interference. It's like when you have two fans running together nearby. They're both spinning at a similar rate, but you get a vibration that's the difference between the two vibrations' frequencies.
This is a lot like the principle of operation of a Phased Array Radar as used on Aegis class destroyers. Needless to say, even a low-key version of this system (like a cluster of computers) would cause many problems at home.
It's also the reason your computer clock doesn't keep very good time unless synced with something that's NIST certified (and shielded).
Finally, someone has taken a legal stand against the unethical console gaming industry. This industry is a leading contributor several major political campaigns, and has been allowing the fight against violence in video games because it gives them plausible denial.
This is finally coming to light, and this is the first step.

At least, that's why I buy WROX Press publications. I've got a whole library, and it looks like the bleedin' Chernobyl yearbook exploded on my bookshelf.
Slashdot is almost all trolls, all the time, so I can't blame you for falling for this guy (or PhysicsScholar). There are better places on the 'net to find out-of-date (or even current!) tech articles, Lunix fanboyism, and other similar crap.
GI-JOE has been using these for a long, long time.
My childhood tells me that laser-warfare is ideal:
Shoot at tanks, helicopters and everything, and NEVER, EVER actually hit a person. They'll just parachute or jump to safety as soon as their vehicle is destroyed, not even suffering burns or shrapnel injuries from the explosion.
Few other trolls are as good at their jobs as you. You've got the pulse of this "community", all right -- just enough pseudoscience to get modded up by idiot Lunix-worshipping know-it-alls.

This has always bugged me about Darwin, since I've got a Via-based system. I dig my brothers Jaguar machine, even though it's a G3, and am curious about apple-ness.
I'm in no way competant enough to write drivers for a Via motherboard, and even if I was I wouldn't have the time.
Also, why does it say, "This is the first release of Darwin/x86."? There's been many x86 Darwin releases before.

My mom has Alzheimer's disease, and before we moved her out of her house, she would respond to everyone asking for a "charitable" contribution. The result is that she's on every mailing list in the world. Many have responded to the "opt out" requests (thanks, junkbusters!), but many have not.
In fact, those of us who sent letters on her behalf have been put on their mailing lists in addition to her.
These are parasites.
Our solution is to get those reader service cards from all the magazines we can find, circle about 10% of the entries, and put a reasonable department description and address to make sure it gets to the parasite's mailroom. We try to make sure the recipient gets something offensive or objectionable (i.e. sending Liberal propaganda to Conservative parasites). Hopefully, the parasite will have much trouble getting of the lists as we do.
Just think how wonderful it would be if all the resources of unsolicited bulk mail companies were tied up trying to get themselves off mailing lists!
P.s. Does anyone know if there are any porn industry trade mags? We'd love to send some of those reader service cards to some of the "Christian" organizations that won't retract the fangs from my mother. Please send me any you know of.
Please read fully before modding me down... I'm summarizing here:

The only way to discourage unsolicited mail (short of government intervention...ick) is to hit the solicitor where it counts. They're running a business to make money, right? If the cost/benefit of sending unsolicited mail is good, they'll continue. If it isn't, they'll stop.
Make the costs go up by sending back their pre-paid envelopes with extra payload so that they have to pay postage for nothing. That makes the costs go up. /
This doesn't affect the postal carriers or the mail-openers unless they take their jobs too personally. If it costs more for the USPS to carry all this crap, they'll charge more and the bulk mailers will feel it, eventually. If the mail-openers have lots of hassle, the bulk mailers will need to hire more, which costs them. Stop being codependent and worrying what everyone will think. It's business.
And they won't know who sent their envelope back if you don't include anything with your name/address in the payload. Duh!
I like the sparkle idea myself.
IMHO the Aiwa is way too tacky for use by anyone over 12. Anand did a review of an Aiwa player a few months ago, and found the interface kinda awkward.
A conversation I had last month with a grunt at Circuit City revealed that the "second generation" of players is coming RSN, including rationally-priced models from Kenwood. Consumer demand is picking up, so it may be best to get a Philips eXpanium (or other portable) until there's some more maturity in the market.

Sounds like one hell of a porn script!
Unless you're talking about the football team, and then it's just called an "away game".
