diogenese - keeping those Dutchies off our seti-classic backs is a noble cause - if only Borkley would pull the plug then we could remain in our not-so-rightful place forever (ie under the germans )
of course i may have to put you up for an award next week anyway

Erm, I'm back to folding seeing as there has been a mass exodus from S@NL :eek:

around 70+ leavers losing them over 4 million points! Not the nicest way to end seti classic

What the heck has gone on there then??? :confused:

Maybe they're all gonna come and join us to push us infront of the germans

I've got no idea, ther forum seems even quieter than ours

and browsing with bablefish is tedeous

Berserker · 13 Sep 2005 at 00:45

We need Dutch Guy on the case.

I believe they've had one 'spat' like this in the past, and most people came back after a few days.

Could also be b0rked stats - it's happened before.

Well just signed up

. Seems a worthwhile project. Helping science and all. Much better than the stupid seti one..

got an athlon xp 2.5Ghz+ 512ddr. It saying estimated WU completion time 20d :eek:

should it really take that long..

New rig is on the way a nice dual core wich will be over clocked.. (but about 4 weeks from completion)

Indy500 · 13 Sep 2005 at 12:48

I'm back, although with just the venice, athlon 750, and (sporadically) an XP2700

No. It always does that at the start of a work unit. If you look now it should have changed.

Welcome to the team.

You going for AMD or Intel dual core?

It'll will be AMD, not so good at crunching but better for games ..

With a-mega water cooled system :cool:

Should finish my first WU around midnight ..

has your complimentary cider been delivered yet?

that should keep you nicely relaxed

Whitestar · 14 Sep 2005 at 00:16

Cider, cool. Do you get one per machine

rich99million · 14 Sep 2005 at 00:22

Whitestar said:

yes indeed - and one for each physical core at that! :eek:

there are also special HT-ciders too for those who try to run 2 instances on an HT P4 - they are the 33% extra free cans

however if you open one while doing two QMDs the 33% fizzes up all over the floor due to the extreme temperature thus rendering your 33% extra a total waste of time

please fill out the order form enclosed in your Team 10 Starter Pack listing numbers of each required cider and post it under my cell door

Whitestar · 14 Sep 2005 at 00:26

Great. Thats my weekend sorted

Glaucus · 15 Sep 2005 at 08:48

well this 3rd WU is a hungry horse..

Taken a day so far and only done 177frames out of 400 :eek:

estimated another 25hrs to go... LOL

p1152_L939_K12M_EXT_F, Tiner Core...

Berserker · 15 Sep 2005 at 12:20

No sign of any reversal of the S@NL exodus, so I guess it really was that serious.
