You're not going to have that overhead for only one day. 0.5% of a $10
Million computer is $50,000.
... This simple example is based on the notion of the computer costing
$10,000,000 every day.
No, it isn't. It's based upon the total life cost and assumes that the
processor
is kept until it has very little value.
Then why mention the $50,000 in the first place, since you didn't qualify it
over some time span? The point is that these types of numbers get discussed
alot when comparing costs, but without a timeline (AND some way of
correlating computing power available per unit of cost) this is all simply
nonsense.
