Greetings and Salutations: I had an issue with my Firefox browser. The browser was static, yet it was using 70% or 80% of the CPU of the system. It got me to thinking. Java is a programming language. What would prevent companies from running a java script on your computer while you are viewing their page that uses your CPU to do some computing for them? Instead of selling (or in addition to selling) advertising the company could also sell CPU to other companies. Is this feasible?
