Friend on Facebook just posted scoring a 100MHz 32MB 1996 era laptop to use as a heated cat perch, and CPU-wise that's a factor of like 100 (a few GHz times a couple of cores), RAM-wise a factor of a thousand, away from a modern basically usable laptop.

I've heard of cat /dev/urandom > /dev/null for generating heat involving cat,

We will not edit your comments. However, we may delete your comments, or cause them to be hidden behind another link, if we feel they detract from the conversation. Commercial plugs are fine, if they are relevant to the conversation, and if you don't try to pretend to be a consumer. Annoying endorsements will be deleted if you're lucky, if you're not a whole bunch of people smarter and more articulate than you will ridicule you, and we will leave such ridicule in place.
