Look everyone,
We have explained the logic, benefit and considered reasoning behind the current point system.
Guru and FordGT90Concept do not want to understand.
Or they might claim to understand but disagree.
For once I also have to agree with 7im, there is really no point in continuing the discussion with people who do not have any intention of listening.
Turning the discussion into some class envy, reactionary, anti-technology, (the world is not really helped by advances in science, it just makes us all slaves to buying new equipment and planned obsolescence theory) just doesn't accomplish anything.
Remember that lovely story where the tortoise beat the hare?
Holy hand grenades Batman! Have you heard nothing about the project? The turtle gets Alzheimer's disease and dies a slow and painful death! You just really don't care what the real goals of the project are do you?
Good intentions don't count, results count.
Someone please close the thread so I don't have to read "Our suggestions are genius, you are all just fools for scorning our manifestly perfect plan....the world will regret that they ignored GURU...."
Really people like this start to scare me.
It does come down to your world view about "fairness"
Lenin would look at the situation and say 10,000 workers are producing as much as the other 260,000 combined. However, it is only because they have the Capital (GPU equipment) The other 260,000 workers deserve just as much credit (time recognition for their CPU TIME). Much time and energy would be wasted "redistributing" the wealth.
Henry Ford would say: I bet I can make a cheap machine so EVERYONE can be as productive as those 10,000 workers, and EVERYONE can share in the 1000X increase in production and wealth!!!
