"This is nothing more than a clever restatement of epistemological nihilism."
It is not, brush up your reading skills and maybe do some reading into the philosophy of science before you write something like this. The parent primarily criticized the part of science being settled. That is NOT epistemological nihilism of any sort. It's more akin to the position of Critical Rationalism.
I've been using the XP sleep functionality on my two-year old PC (nForce3, AMD) almost every single day. It works perfectly and is very convenient.

It's also of interest that the author of the article did not mention the pointing capabilities of the Wiimote. The reader is led to believe that the playstation's capabilities are equal to the Wii in the controller department.
If political debate on Wikipedia is any indication I don't hold high hopes for this. From my experience there are many edit-wars and the complexity of discussion (as in discussing page-lengths about small details of political standpoints) is too high for people who don't have the time to read a book a day on a particular subject and I doubt that there will be any useable "results".
I wish my fears will not turn out to be true because I think it's an interesting idea and I am a fan of political debate myself.
