Seti@home & murc, part 2

[jsb]

Hello Maggi,
I have a strange MAC tip for you, I have an original IMAC (233Mhz) running seti at home, it has always taking ca 20 hours to do a Wu for it, I start Seti and then shrink it, but the other day I did it another way, I went in to preference and turned on the screensaver (5 min) and goto blank (10 min) started seti and shrunk it. Now it only takes 15 hours, first I thought that it was a temporary thing, that sometimes it takes les time to do a Wu, but it has now been doing 10-15 units and all of them has taken around 15 hours. Try it and se if it is the same on your G4.

You mean the one that'll get it done in like 3:15 on an Athlon850?

[Guyver]

Something like that Greebe...

I'm waiting for the 2nd Gen Athlon boards before I switch back to AMD. I've heard nothing but great comments on the AMD front (there are problems of course, but minor from what I understand). Til then, I'm stuck with my measly 600Mhz rig - that used to wow people...

I don't know about a joke, but this reminds me of a book called "Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep" by Phillip K. Dick. This book was the basis for the movie "Blade Runner". Anyway, in the story (not the moview), there is a guy named Murcer who is constantly climbing a mountain and people are always throwing rocks at him. An endless treck which anyone can empathize with through an electronic box in their homes. Ring a bell?

Whaaaaaaaaa the servers been down for hours... argggg

[Mark F]

So much for 3hrs!!! Yeh like that 3hr tour, a 3hr tour. But that tiny ship got toused.

This is the story of our server outage...
It started when we needed to do maintence...
It was supposed to be 3hr downtime...
a 3hrs downtime...
The upgrade started to get rough...
The masive server was toused...
If not for the courage of the fearless crew...
The project would be lost...
The project would be lost...

Well we'll have to see were things...
get grounded (sorry, couldn't refuse)
Hopefully, we will not be liveing as primative as can be.

OK, OK I'm going to get some sleep now,
maybe I'll be better in the morning,
Probably not.
