"The Grid. A digital frontier. I tried to picture clusters of information as they moved through the computer. What did they look like? Ships, motorcycles? Were the circuits like freeways? I kept dreaming of a world I thought I'd never see. And then, one day I got in...

It turns out The Grid is just a guy sitting in a chair, shouting about "Fizz!" and "Buzz!" as fast as he can.

It wasn't really what I had in mind.

(The image of this poor program, stuck shouting "fizz!" and "buzz!" for subjectively centuries at a time struck me...)




I kinda hope as a joke in Tron 3 they have a guy muttering in the corner "1, 2, Fizz, 4, Buzz, Fizz, 7, 8, Fizz" as someone walks by.


Still better than throwing away a significant percentage of the world total power output just to compute some useless hashes if you ask me..
