The best way to get Bitcoins at this point is to either a) buy them using your favorite fiat currency or b) sell a product or create a service and accept payments in Bitcoins.
Mining for Bitcions with a CPU or even thousands of CPUs is a total waste of time and energy.
Mining for Bitcoins with a GPU or even dozens of GPUs will soon be a total waste of time and energy.
Wow. Thanks for the info. I was just about to sell everything and move to Alaska to mine bitcoins. So glad I read this first.
