I would point out that there is no opportunity cost to the owner. While their PS3 is folding, they can be off doing something else. There is nothing to lose interest in, because they aren't actively doing anything. They set their machine, and it goes merrily on its folding way.
As for electricity cost? Let's say upper range: 217W * 8h = 1.6kW/h
So I haven't RTFA and am just thinking out loud.
Couldn't the problem of your typing speeding up or whatever due to your "comfort" level be solved by using an evolving stream?
You've got the algorithm to determine similarity. Let's assume it's tuned to a 99% significance level. This is security right? But instead of comparing to an original, or arbitrary previous time, it compares it to your previous login, or perhaps a composite of the previous 2 logins.
This way, your stored "fist" will evolve with you.
I like it. It's conceptually easy at least. Any ideas on the CPU hit for this? Proof of concept?
We came from apes. Apes came from monkeys. This is the kind of thing you normally hear from a creationist or pop culture, that tries to rouse our human superiority complex."That must we wrong. Humans are amazing! We couldn't have come from an animal.
Humans did NOT come from apes. Apes and Humans had a common ancestor. This is an apparently subtle but important difference.

Heck, let's go max. 380W * 8h = 3.4kW/h (Note: Completely unrealistic. Assumes 100% efficiency)
Average price of electricity is 10 cents or so. You're paying between 16 - 34 cents.
The bloody thing costs $400 off of EBAY, and you're trying to tell me the electricity cost will matter?
