In all seriousness, the anticipated lifespan of server class hardware is
not what it was 10 years ago. Given that most long term distros are good
for 5 years or so, changing out that old clunker for better flops/watt rig
might actually pay for itself over a 5 year life span. Not sure as i really
haven't don't a number crunch.

Hmm. That would be a hard one to do as most places use more and more
computing power as time progresses.

consumerism or hatred of the vulnerable, then the powerful can do as they
please, and those who survive will be left to contemplate the outcome.
