Is that a dual core CPU or single core. What happens if somebody contructed a 32 Core CPU ? My two main points: A. For a Computer World Championship, no computer shuld excluded period B. In reality, there is no such thing as a "level platform", as the choices of hardware will ulitmately favor one program over another. A "level platform" does not exist as the programs themselves were not designed on "level platforms" and there is no going back. I would venture a guess that Hyatt would be able pick a platfrom that Carfty would have excellent chances to win on. I would also suggest Richard Lang could pick a platform that Genius would also have excellent chances to win on. And I could go down the list of every top programmer, and they each could pick a platfrom that would increase their chances of their program winning. So why do it?
