    less people would get rich, however it would still be worth a lot to humans as a group.

    xbox only works as an extender to your network if you're running all windows 7 machines (probably works on 8, never seen 8 in the wild though). last count i'm running 1 windows 7 box out of about 8 computers. i don't really care to pay for windows to install an OS i don't like just so it's compatible with gaming hardware that might be able to replace $50 bucks worth of raspberry pi equipment.

    it's really just a this is geeky cool thing, full minecraft is a massive resource hog and would be pretty much impossible to run on anything this small.

  7. Re:It runs like crap on Mojang Releases Minecraft: Pi Edition For the Raspberry Pi · · Score: 1

    dunno about minecraft but the thing can run quake 3 pretty well so saying it's only useful for 2d gaming is pretty silly. also the other 2 codecs are mpg2 (dvd encoding) and wmv so they're not really that exciting, i've only got a couple of movies encoded in mpg2 and i can't even remember that last time i saw one in wmv.

  8. Re:Processing power and scalability on Mojang Releases Minecraft: Pi Edition For the Raspberry Pi · · Score: 4, Informative

    pretty much, it's cheap as shit to run and mine is basically a torrent box, ssh/media server and i've got one on both of my main tvs as xbmc clients. probably worthwhile to note it has a graphics chip that can decode 1080p video and it can be pretty trivially overclocked to 900mhz without upping the voltage.

    there is no way they'll depend only on that amount of sugar, at the very least they'll pack it full of artificial sweeteners.

  11. Re:I Got It! on Deloitte: Use a Longer Password In 2013. Seriously. · · Score: 3, Insightful

    4 symbols, about 180k common words in the english language = 1,049,760,000,000,000,000,000 unique passwords. this thing can do 350 billion password attempts a second, and unless my math is wrong (which it most likely is) it would take 95 years to try all of those combinations.

    consoles generally interfere with someone else's use of the tv though, which is generally more of a big deal in my experience.
