Sorry again for the late news - if something like that looks inevitable again once i'm working i'll probably opt for an early news on Thursday night instead. I could have sorted it out when i got back last night but who really wants to sleep in the bath?

Huge congratulations go to DarthEnd Viper for his massive dumping this week. Amazing to see what that lot can do while those pesky kids aren't around
Also a lot of new members this week - pushing us over the 400 member mark, also a load more coming through already for next week


Anyone who still wants to wear a slacking award can go for it - i fancy the gold one this week

hehe welcome

Whilst the machine is in your care i see no problem at all with running Folding@Home on it, a far more thorough stress test than Prime95 (though maybe not as easy to troubleshoot). Once the machine goes back to him you would really need permission otherwise you invalidate the Stanford License Agreement which states you need permission to run it.

Of course how you word the "request" is totally up to you
I favour the whispering round the corner from them and then waiting to see if they have any objections
