I see that Pande Lab suddenly emerged as a long term threat. This happened because they posted over 341,000 points in one day but their individual member totals don't show where this huge number of points originated. Very strange.

The point scored does look strange, doesn't it.

My best gues is that the PS3 consoles are starting to report, and if the default name and team number is left alone by the new user, then ...

Both the new ATI X1900 GPU version and the PS3 version of F@H are much faster than any standalone F@H CPU version. Thanks to the magic of code optimization and 48 parallel pipelines, users running those programs on that hardware will see a lot of points, very fast.

Maybe its time for a FReeper bulk purchase of X1900 cards (and new power supplies just to run them).

We now have a reason for the sudden jump by the Pande Group team.

Seems that they found a stats server that was not connecting to the update server. Popped about 29,000 completed WUs that had previously not been counted.

It happens from time to time, these mysterious results. Kinda like having a Rat precinct watcher ...
