SETI farms should be illegal

[DeltaSierra]

Only because I'm so jealous of guys like TC, Rogerdugans and Godfodda who are crunching anywhere from 5 to 10 times more WUs *per day* than I can with my two machines! When I, eventually, get bumped out of the top 50, I think I'll take my WUs and go home (just kidding). Keep crunching and I'll keep (reluctantly) eating your dust.

[lonewolf1983]

at least you have a herb garden
i have a pot plant

just the one machine
:D

[Godfodda]

I shouldn't be mentioned in the same breath as those other guys or any of the other big dogs. It's disrespectful to them. :D

[bobt17]

i only have one but it seems to just keep on growing :D:D :D
see sig

[Mictlan]

I'm getting used to eating dust :) and I'm beggining to like it. I have now a spoon right behind me so that when noones is passing me by I just grab a spoonfull of dirt a shove it down my throat......

The people that have the resources/time/energy to have a farm should have one, as the more WU we all produce, the sooner we'll be in the top 25 teams of the world.

[deez]

farms are good and they keep things interesting

So far it consists of

P3 1100E@1308
P3 500@500 (Katami)
Celeron 500@600
Athlon 1000@1000 (at work)

getting about 12 WU's per day

You are just jealous...I am sitting in a room with about 100 P4's @ 1700MHz. :beer:

[rogerdugans]

Personally, I think blow dryers should be illegal- I have one that keeps shutting down my "cellar-net"!

Guess I need to grab a new breaker and run some wire.....

(I think there should be at least two blank lines between TC and me- he is right out of my league!)

[Yodums]

Bah how do you feel about my 2 WU's a day from this machine!

Or MY one WU per day?? Wait... I got a friend with a P4 crunching for me too... Well, I just got a franchise of potted plants :D

Just remeber.... There's always a slower cruncher than yours....

...though, I still have to find this mystical person who's slower than me... He has to be here SOMEWHERE!! :rolleyes: :D :D

Don't let my wife hear you all talking like this...she may get the crazy idea that I don't "need" 10 machines around the house! At least my work machines would still be OK. ;)

[Yodums]

Ya but then you say... "All machines are working, < START The crazy acting> THEY ARE ALL CRUNCHING SETI" then your wife will backup slowly and get you something to cool off :D

haha

I haerd about a guy who was crunching on a 486 with floppy swapping...had about 1 WU every 2.5 days

not in this forum tho'

That's gotta be one helluva 486 I did some rough numbers in my head and concluded my 6x86 @ 133mhz would take that long, or longer.

[Morpheus]

P166MMX runs about 40-48 hrs depending on mobo chipset... I have benchmarked many of these with 64 & 32 Mb of RAM...

I dunno about that 486, but it sounds like something may be awry... ;)

[deez]

maybe it was longer than that...or it could have been a P100

*scratch scratch* cant really remember...maybe I can dig up the article

[deez]

well here is one article but i dont think it mentions a certain CPU....just instructions http://plaza.powersurfr.com/dan.mckay/dlssseti.htm

[Morpheus]

Deez...

I got it... the 486 probably used SETI client v1.0 or v2.0... they were MUCH faster... and my benchies were last spring using v3.03...

I would belive 2.5 days on the earlier client... my P3-650 chewed up WUs@about 5.5-6.5 hours on V2.1...

I assume the new(ish) client is slower because it's more effective instead of just being slower, yes/no??

[Wookie8662]

Hey,

Lets all pretend we didnt actually read that "SETI farms should be illegal".

OK, cool. Now I can start throwing parts in these 2 new cases that were delivered today. :)

They wont be screamers. I still have lots of Intel parts to make busy before I can start drooling over the XP's.

[rogerdugans]

This seti farm tried to self-destruct this week, or at least part of it:
my dual p3's mobo burnt a trace out and was showing 15.54volts!!!!! Psu checked at 12 so I left it running....same way I trace short circuits in a car or bike: wait till it burns out.

Well, I now know why the thing was crashing all week! It is now (hopefully) repaired; I'll have to test a while, and then, with luck, I can oc it again.

I love my soldering iron:cool:

Wookie8662: My sincere apologies if I offended you, or anyone else, with my "SETI farms should be illegal." I intended the comment to be a combination joke as well as a compliment to the OC team members who put in a great deal of time, effort and resources to make this team such a productive and cohesive group. I also hoped to throw a few members off guard so that when I bring on another cruncher I can surprise them by closing the gap between me and them (rogerdugans, toomnymods and most recently, Johnsin from Taiwan). I guess I just have to learn that my tongue-in-cheek sense of humor doesn't work well in the written word.

And why does she not belong to this group? :) :) :)

[Burning Phoenix]

I've had a couple of problems with this as well <LOL>

But that is what communication is: not alway perfect understanding first time, but asking for clarification until the both parties ARE understood.

Now if only I could get this mobo to understand me.........................

Haven't coaxed yet to do it.....I can sneak and ask for her password but it would be delivered to her e-mail.....and then just when she doesn't notice extract it and make her join us :D :D :D

I won't be doing that one

Heh, no offense taken.
It's pretty hard to get me all riled up.
Unless your name is Bill Gates :D

Well in that case lemme ask this: Do you expect us to believe that there were 8661 people named Wookie on this board before you joined???

Hey, thanks Wookie. I appreciate the note.

Nope, but there is a Wookie almost everywhere.
So, I added the 8662 (phone language for TOMB, short for TOMBSTONE) to my userid. I used Wookie on all the older MBBS systems, before the internet became "the place" to chat.

I havent checked here yet, but I'm almost sure there was a Wookie here at one time. Almost always is.

Then how come there's never a wookie around when you need one? Why just last week....

Do you think this would be legal?

That would be super illegal :P

TC should be illegal!
