No, he's right. You can get relatively powerful, ultra low voltage CPUs, that will need replacing roughly as often as the juice sucking mid range CPUs.
He didn't say buy cheapest, ULV CPUs aren't necessarily cheap, he said buy low power.
Submission + - OpenBSD's second remote exploit in ten years
numatrix writes: "For only the second (public) time in 10 years, OpenBSD has a remotely exploitable vulnerability. To be fair, it's limited in scope unless you're running on a native IPv6 network, but still a serious exposure. Also worth noting, it looks like there were a few problems in the responsible-disclosure practices."

Submission + - UW scientists unlock major number theory puzzle
Jake's Mom writes: "From the University of Wisconsin — UW scientists unlock major number theory puzzle.
"Mathematicians have finally laid to rest the legendary mystery surrounding an elusive group of numerical expressions known as the "mock theta functions."
Number theorists have struggled to understand the functions ever since the great Indian mathematician Srinivasa Ramanujan first alluded to them in a letter written on his deathbed, in 1920.
Now, using mathematical techniques that emerged well after Ramanujan's death, two number theorists at the University of Wisconsin-Madison have pieced together an explanatory framework that for the first time illustrates what mock theta functions are, and exactly how to derive them."
