The parts are all listed right there on GitHub via the How to Build link, either with prices or direct links to AliExpress where you can see the price. The build comes in under $200. I don't understand the whinging in the comments.

Nope. And they're not really. Imagine a simple computer with, say, 32 bytes of ram. All our bytes of ram are numbered. We read a value from byte number 8 and that value is 17. "Byte number 8" is a pain to remember or calculat

The original Doom code basically broadcast packets to every machine on the network, which on any large network would bring everything to a crawl. It's why network Doom was explicitly banned on many university networks. The first patch

The penny comparison was yours. Why are you making comparisons that you yourself think are daft? Try to think things out before hitting "reply". It would improve your posts immeasurably.

The conspiracy that was continually undermined by its own members and collapsed after just 6 years? I think that reinforces their point rather than yours.

No, 240 new pence has exactly the same number of factors as 240 old pence. You're aware that you're not required to always use a whole number of pounds, right? Because you seem a tad confused. You liked the egg example until I poi

Of course, in 2004 Northern Bank was acquired by Denmark-based Danske Group. So now, you have Northern Irish banknotes, which are UK pounds (GBP), with Dankse Bank written on them! https://danskebank.co.uk/about-us/bank

Well, it can't hit zero because you'd need equal numbers for that, and they're not coprime ;) It can't be negative because you cheat and always put "larger - smaller". See your own example: you go: 13 - 7

This is actually a big deal as it's 10,000 times longer than previous qubit coherence. I reckon quantum computing will be mainstream in the next couple of years.
