FaD Team Captain???

Ross just contacted me and I don't have a problem handing over the team captain position. I started the team when Find-a-Drug first came out. At the time we only had 3 or 4 members which grew to about 10 or so. Then we had a a lot of people jump ship because we couldn't get anyone else from...

Find-a-Drug Stats for 2-22-2003

Your probably right. Once SETI 2 starts up, I may contribute to that project. Well see. It really depends on how they run the project, and how well the client runs. I'm also concerned about the amount of cheating that has been done in SETI, which is one of the main reasons I started contributing...

Find-a-Drug Stats for 2-22-2003

Hey Assimilator1. Yeah I moved over to this project almost 100 %. I got tired of the constant problems that I, along with everyone else, was having with D2OL. Though I like the GUI better, and the more frequent stats updates, I just couldn't take the problems anymore. I still have one machine...

Find-a-Drug Stats for 2-13-2003 - Congratulations Vader!

Thanks BitSpit. Well, my son was born last night at 8:17pm EST, and was 19 inches long and weighed 6lbs. 15 ounces. Not a bad weight for someone that was 3 1/2 weeks early. Mother and baby are doing very well, and will probably be coming home on Sunday. :D:D:D:D As to the more important...

Find-a-Drug Stats for 2-12-2003

Production seems a little low today. Tomorrow should be much better since I just made a substantial dump. I think I uploaded around 70 or so wu's. I've got another 30 or 40 to upload at home, but my wife will be delivering our second child sometime this afternoon so I probably won't be going...

Find-a-Drug Stats for 1-23-2003 - We're Now in 16th!

Glad I could help. When do you pull the numbers for reporting the stats? I did my dump at 10:30pm EST yesterday so I was wondering why it wouldn't be on today's stats. Don't get me wrong, by no means am I complaining (I'm very thankful that you do it), I just wasn't sure what time you pull the...

D2OL: This is getting beyond a joke

Like everyone else, I'm getting a little tired of D2OL's constant problems. I've already switched 2 of my machines to the Find-a-Drug DC project, and will probably switch the rest by the end of the week. It's similar to the UD project but uses an newer engine. The nice thing about it is that it...

OT: Going deer hunting again

If I were getting chased, I think I'd be too nervous to aim for the optimal target point. I think I'd be squeezing off rounds just as fast as I could pump the shotgun. If I could take the time to aim, I'd probably place one right between the peepers, or from the side I would go right behind the...

Your right, it would depend on the distance to the bear. I should have clarified. At 50 yards or less, I would take the slug. Anything beyond 50 yards, I would take the 30-.06, or my favorite, a 7mm magnum. If you want some real stopping power, go with a .300 Remington Ultra Mag. --Vader2k

OT: Going deer hunting again

mechBgon, if I were to choose between a shotgun with a slug, or a 30-.06, while hunting for, or protection from, a bear, I would go for the slug. I'd want to have as much lead, and as much kinetic energy, as I could possible have. A slug has 3 times the mass of a 30-.06 bullet. --Vader2k

D²OL stats 11/17

I somehow managed to get 20 in. My machines at work had 100 in the queue, and since they crunch a little slower than my main system, they should be okay. My home system was sitting on E until Geoff was kind enough to give me a fill-up. Thanks Geoff!!!!! :D --Vader2K

Bunker, I would think that you would get more than that. One of my nodes is a PIII 500, and my daily average (according to DSpy) is 27.7, and this my my daily work computer so it doesn't get full use of the CPU. --Vader2K
