Muahahahah ... the crack rack is ramping up!

[Double Trouble]

Finally, the crack rack is ramping up, I'm doing about 50,000 work units per day.... In the next few days I'll be dumping some more stored units, should boost the ranking quite nicely

Pretty cool to be on top of the list, even if just for a day or two, or if I'm lucky even three

I've seen this site, but I was kind of confused by it... Is it like Seti or what?

 

[Scarpozzi]

Alright...I'm reading the thread about joining team anandtech. I've got quite a few PCs here I may have to use

 

[BGN]

all i can say is props...

 

[Double Trouble]

Yep, it's similar to SETI, it's the RC5 challenge...... Basically it's the same idea, use the idle processing time of a bunch of computers all around the globe to combine their resources and computing power towards achieving some goal.

Each one of these Distributed Computing groups initiatives has it's own goals. For RC5, the challenge is to break the code for a specific encrypted message. For SETI the goal is to help search for alien life forms by helping to crunch through volumes of observation data..... and so forth.

You compensating for the lack of *cough* something *cough*

 

[Scarpozzi]

LOL....well, I've downloaded and setup the RC5 client already. I'm running it and everything, but is there a way to see the progress besides on the site? Also, how long does it usually take to finish a cruncher?

you can always run you own pproxy, or you can go through on of TA proxies.

[Scarpozzi]

Thanks....now I'm running it on 2 systems....4 more to go!

 

[Adul]

the team loves you for your effort.

 

[BigSmooth]

Holy crap, tagej, that's monstrous! :Q

 

[tkdkid]

Can you provide any details on the systems that are involved?

 

[weovpac]

Yeah, I like too know myself.

 

[crYnOid]

Pitty you are playing for the other side (Dutch Power Cows for those that don't know). TeamAnandtech is the only way to go

Edit: Please disregard this post

crY~ <----- didn't know what he knows now

 

[SaX0N]

comeon post info/screenies of the rack

 

[Russ]

tagej,

Why are you cracking for the Dutch Power Cows against AnandTech?

<<Why are you cracking for the Dutch Power Cows against AnandTech?>>

I've gotten that question from several people I signed up many many moons ago with DPC's when they started up (I am, after all Dutch), and never paid any more attention to it.... Adul pointed out to me that I was still cracking for the wrong team and how to switch to TA -- which I'm doing tonight. Rest assured, there's LOTS more units to flush, this time for TA!

It's actually not a 'rack', but I'll post more info on it later today when I have a chance.

tagej,

We love you, man!

scarpozi (and anyone else),

use your computers for folding@home or fightAIDS@home

 

[Pyxis]

Sweet

 

[fdiskboy]

I had to come back to OT for this!!!



Go tagej, go!!!!

Aha.....!

We need to send Ray over to visit tagej since they're both in Columbus.
