It's yet another exotic butterfly, even rarer than the last and as a display of the state of brute force computation.
Algorithmic and distributed computing development will benefit from these kinds of "useless pastimes".
In the Philippines and Mexico, politics and commerce are controlled by a small, very rich and very corrupt cabal. The lower class live in poverty.
Just like the USA, Real soon now.
To comply with DO-178(A) or (B) regulations, the FAA requires multiple, redundant, independently computed and compared solutions, just like NASA.
The FDA allows a cutter to put a single CPU (due to power consumption) toy in a body to increase profit and prolong the poor bastards lingering death.
Some clocks may use a line reference, but most use a crystal frequency source. The display is multiplexed to reduce power consumption and in the olden days, parts count.
Programming computers has always been about solving problems. Computers are machines. They move signals and data and return pay checks and nuclear plant control rod down commands. Most of my life consists of developing systems that move data and large, dangerous chunks of machinery. Some of the best and worst engineers I have worked with had a BS or MS, MA and BA usually caught on.
We saw a strange object in the sky over Goldendale Wa. (USA) while stargazing from our yard. It seemed to change velocity rapidly and was followed by a biz-jet at est 2000' AGL at full throttle about a minute behind. Multiple sightings were reported in Yakima and Spokane. I always figured it was some spook project.
It is ironic the companies based in those countries with the "right to roam" laws ( Scotland, The UK ) have purchased large tracts of forest land in the USA and blocked access to that land. When US based companies owned this land, access was openly given. Now, trespassing violations are enforced and they will have you criminally prosecuted.
It seems that china, or any orbit capable country could bring an end to most space exploration and orbital systems.
If the aggressor party put a counter rotating orbital debris field, it could wipe out the geo-synch comms and polar orbit weather/spy birds.
Cutting cables with anchors is low tech, and repairable without space suits.

That, and setting on your ass all day.

Sounds like the IBM 1130.

Fortunately, it only verified the solution. If solutions diverged, it bailed. Not really a good thing while shooting a approach during a stormy night

That bares repeating.

I've got a re-purposed real-doll running mentifex on a 6502, It even does the dishes!

This comment is funnier then FP.
Energy will always be expensive for two reasons, capitalism and greed. Some would say they are one and the same.

For $499.00 is should come with a hot 6 foot tall blond virgin.

A Bush comment gets a -1 troll? Looks like slashdot is getting astroturf patch.
