Anyone know how long a WU has to be out before Berkeley assumes it's not coming back and reassigns it?

According to Eric Korpela of Berkeley, a WU expires on the 28th day after issuance.

Thanks for the note, chawken. I had wondered because of the slow machines coming online now. I guess that's 672 hrs for a 24/7 machine until it expires. Hmm... I DO have that Apple //e and VIC20 sitting in the closet. :D

Please! I can process a wu faster than a VIC20. I don't mean my computer, I mean me, the human. And if you are willing to pay to set up the double-blind laboratory conditions I'm willing to prove it! ;)

You're on!! Just remeber, no calculator to help out, and your result file must be accurate!!

:watches eobard's paper burn from the extreme speed of de-chirping, calculating fast-furrier-transforms, checking the data for gaussians spikes triplets and pulses, ect:

Actually, there is a chip made for the C-64 (kinda like a Pentium Overdive chip) that will get it running at 16Mhz on a 386 level... Throw Linux on that baby and let it crunch on...

Really? I'd like to check one of them out. Is there a link to where I can get more info on the net?

:D :D :D LOL!!

OK, Just went to the site, and found out that my memory was faulty... It isn't 386 compatible... :mad: Here's the link for you though...

Man! I was so sure it was 386 compatible!! Mabey if we plead to SETI enough, they will make a version for the 6502... :rolleyes:

Thanks for the link but $200? I cost less than $200!! Still it was a cool read.
