I put 75 more CPU's on the task today, but had to throttle them back to 80%. They should start showing up by Thursday or so.

Have you Noticed the latest ?? over at DU? They think that we're blowing them away in CPU count, by hyperthreading....

hehehee... they're also focusing on the wrong stats, as usual.

I just love the discussions like... this WU is taking forever, but I turn my PC off at work, when I go home for the day..

DUH!!!!!! :)

Under no circumstances tell 'em about the dilithium crystals we're using.

From the DemoUnderbelly site:

mcscajun (1000+ posts) Mon Jan-23-06 01:47 PM Response to Reply #118 121. Wanna bet this is how the Freepers built up their point count? By shortchanging the future to embellish the present?

So typical for their ilk, blame your weakness on someone else.
Lie, deny, delflect, object... Y-a-w-n.
It must really suck to be them.

"Under no circumstances tell 'em about the dilithium crystals we're using."

Dilithium Crystsals???

Dude, dilithium crystals only mediate the reaction between the matter and anti-matter in a cpu's main processor core, don't they know that?

Me, I've already migrated to Deuterium. Which is, as you know, an isotope of hydrogen used as the primary fuel for both the H/T-Dual Core AND SMP engines. Hehe, it's stored in a frozen "slush" state in a case mounted, radiator equipped, tank. Looks just like a cooler. Nobody will ever know...

:O)

LOL! Man they're behind the 8 ball! We discussed that several weeks ago after someone posted that write up on HT'ing by Pande... I think I was running it for 24 hrs before turning it off after reading the Pande post. Last time I browsed their thread (yea...had Lysol handy), I recall seeing a post where the poster was bragging about pumping out more WU's with HT'ing...hahaha.

I purchased 2 used P4 (2.26GHz and 2.6GHz) motherboards (and needed accessories) on eBay last night to start building that diskless Folding Farm thatI've been jabbering about. Can't wait for the brown truck to show up!
