Ty isn't "making numbers up" with the PSU thing. My four year old computer has a 420 watt PSU, and I just sold it. Built it 4 years ago and the NORM for PCs now is 400+ if you game at all. Cutting edge people ? Upwards of 1000w. I've followed anandtech, HardOCP for years and years which is obviously ahead of the curve when it comes to PSUs, but I also work for the ronald mcdonald house.

A non-profit, charity organization that is passed down total crap computers. Most of their computers have a PSU of at least 200w. Not a single person I know online or off has one below 300 that they actively use.

Do you have any idea how the PS3 works, or a basic computer for that matter? The Folding process doesn't even utilize the GPU, which is the /biggest/ pull on the system's PSU. It's harmless and you are blowing this way out of proportion.

I feel like I've stumbled onto something comparable to a Gaia online political debate minus pictures of BU$H LOOKIN LIKE A MONKEY LOL

Professional 666: Just because no one quoted your unfunny bitter Wii fanboy quip, doesn't mean we didn't see it. Yes, we realize you hate the PS3. Thanks. stop posting.

I'm pretty sure you could run every PS3 in the world for a million years and it would probably not kill us.

Have you crunched the numbers that quantify energy used to research data? Can you post them?

Maybe it wouldn't kill us but it would totally deplete all our fuel resources before the advancement of alternative, renewable, fuels and we'd end up back in the pre-industrial age. Which would make modern medicine impossible, thereby negating any possible benefit of curing cancer.

How does one quantify energy used to research data? Can you explain that? Or should I also post a random question that really has no answer and only serves as a convenient way of avoiding discussion...?

And I say this as someone who lost a parent to cancer when he was seven. I just know that people are always going to die of something. I'd rather see humanity as a whole live on before I'd see the people alive right now live longer. Ideally both would be nice, but one thing at a time.

Though it's always nice to ease our middle-class technology driven guilt with something, isn't it? Self deception for the win.

I just want you to know the ignorance and stupidity laced throughout this post urged me to register just to call you a moron.
