I'm afraid not; I'm from north-east Derbyshire, just over the border from Sheffield, while (according to Wikipedia) Derren Brown is from London, and went to University in Bristol. That said, I've been living in the Cambridge area for fifteen years now, so my accent has migrated south somewhat.

its going to be £15, what the hell is there to lose?

still the greatest mystery for me if it can handle java with minecraft running.

@DaVince21 Sounds like a good idea. Once my clustering project works out i will run a MC server. Post on youtube.

@theoneismememe Minecraft server is next to impossible unless you cluster them. The RAM is to low, most minecraft servers run at least 2gb and can reach 4gb (depending on your hosting plan) Next the processor is 2 slow for minecraft. Imagine rendering the world and then the users same time. Hard thing to do. Later iterations will have more ram and processing speed.

Great work! Thanks for the demonstration. Rasp Pi is coming up very well :)

@Unreadableanon No, no chance in hell that it would run the actual game. The server....? Maybe.

[DaVince21]

@theoneismememe Well, I don't see Quake taking up nearly as much memory as a Minecraft server running on Java would. It's already taking up around 400 MB of RAM on my current server, and that's with at most 3 people online at once.

There's a lot of world and player caching involved.

[theoneismememe]

@DaVince21 I wouldn't be so sure about that. It can run quake at a decent speed, so I'm sure a minecraft server won't be too much of a problem. Unless you plan on having thousands of clients connected to it.

I'll be able to use my Evo 4g to view raspberry pi!

[DaVince21]

@Unreadableanon Haha, you have *exactly* the same idea as I do. I want to run the most energy saving Minecraft server possible... Of course, I'm sure that 128/256 MB RAM is likely not going to be enough.
