well that's just sad. There's no talk of *needing* 8 processors for anything - that was just part of the set-up for the demonstration. Also the code isn't JavaScript - it 'looks like' JavaScript and would replace it. Also no-one's going to stop you playing Doom3, but why not compare with the hardware required for a semi-recent game.. Crysis for example? Oh, because that wouldn't support your trolling..
The time it takes to kick off a command on the console?
I have a Watt-Meter on my PC. Power cost is negligible (especially overnight).
Sidenote: Not relevant to the 'scam' discussion - or is it the evil BTC overlord's aim to lure me into buying a GPU, wasting my time, or consuming power?
I never understood why so many/.'ers speak so vehemently against Bitcoin, which has so many interesting comp sci. aspects, or even just social experiment. No-one's going to force them to go out and exchange any of their 'real' money for BTC.
I figured in the end it was so they can be in the elite, cynical 'I told you so!' chorus if it fails.
According to some, even the stories about MtGox being hacked were somehow "slashvertisments" for BTC

Thanks for your attention.
This makes total sense - Sony are very similar to Apple in that they lock their systems down and actively prevent after-market modifications. For these reasons, there was no way Sony were going to go down an Android-esque / Java route, so mimicking Apple was the logical choice.
..it since it works well on parallel computers, distributed computing, and most of all on systems composed on many dumb subunits on a sparsely connected network with no central command and control (think mobile devices).
I second this. You can say what you want about privacy (just dont store passwords there), but nothing beats having an online repository of all the important factoids in your life. Remember that Google has Calendar, Notebook and Docs too

What do they do if people have an epiphany in the first couple of minutes of the ride and want to live? Ejector seats?

don't invest more than you can comfortably afford to lose.
Like most here, all I've "invested" is the cost of a new, awesome graphics card bought from independent retailers.

Getting a ruling in your favour in the US is just a matter of finding 'a' judge somewhere whose *opinions* align with yours.
And I don't put anything out there that I wouldn't be ashamed of my mom seeing.
Wait... you only post stuff that you know will offend your Mother!?
That's just mean!
what's the alternative?
Assange being prosecuted and imprisoned will encourage people, release him and the same will happen.
Even if that's true, they're probably banking that *fewer* people will be 'encouraged' if they manage to eventually execute him.
I was going to post exactly this.
How the frack was this modded 'Insightful'? Are there modding Trolls now?
