"The third processor will be online 'in the near future'. That's pretty much any day now."--NewMoney
I hope you're right, but I've grown skeptical of such elastic phrases as "near future" as the relativity of the phrase allows for virtually anytime frame to elapse and still seem "accurate". I have no doubt they are working on it as fast as they can but ...
Anyway, I'm not sure what if any conclusions one can draw from it, but on the recent clip from the Discovery Channel at 2:19 there's a very brief moment where John is stepping over an array of black steel frames. Those look new and related to the 3rd processor. That is, if you look at the picture Rawnoc is currently using as a visual moniker--that great picture of the pre-melt used in the recent cc--the steel framework is not in that picture whereas John is stepping over it in the Discovery clip. If so, then they've got quite a ways to go yet to get #3 up. Obviously, this is very sketchy, but it caught my eye and "may" be something of an indicator. I realize, too, that the clip was necessarily shot some time before it aired.
Beyond this, given that the installation of #3 will inevitably necessitate shutting down the other two processors during some of the 8 weekish long timeframe needed to install it, John could easily have reasons to not want to shut down those other two processors. That is, he could have some potential clients who want to see the machines run continuously for X amount of time as a prerequisite for moving forward with their intentions of doing business with JBI. This, in my opinion, could justify temporarily putting a hold on the installation of #3. Similarly, they obviously could use more money. So temporarily postponing progress on #3 to fill up the coffers a bit more would likewise seem like a legitmate reason to delay progress on #3.
Obviously, these are just speculations on my part, but they don't seem far fetched and could legitimately cause delays on when #3 gets turned on.
