    You're putting in a lot of effort, is it going to do anything else as well?

    Anyway, you're contributing around 500 credits/day already, which is great. We'll be in the top 1000 in no time.

      Other than waste electricity and heat up the room? Not miuch really. It's sole purpose in life is to calculate for Rosetta, if I can get it up and running that is.

      After some testing I noticed the raid card is slowing my hdd transfers to a crawl. Screw raid and the horse you rode in on.

      Some I'm back to square one. I'm trying CentOS 6.2 now, not really fond of that OS but it's one that my good friend recommends so I'm giving it a chance.

      And yes, I'm putting way too much effort into a system most people would have put in the garbage by now.

      What can I say? I love tinkering with computers.

            I don't get the PC ranking system for Rosetta. My newly added Xp2400 is ranked #1 over my 3800 X2, huh?

            Good thing they didn't rank my crap assed PowerMac as #1.

              If you are looking att the roseta scoring pages then I think they're ranked by last contact time by default.

                  Welcome to the club, Nicram. Long time no read. Bringing your Cray?

                  We're getting on a roll here.

                      No cray this time. Cray made some time-travel calculations and disappeared one day. but i still got some laptop to help with Rosetta

                        LOL

                        Reminds me of an episode of the Twilight Zone:
                        A professor named Sam, trying to figure out a difficult math problem, angrily yells out, "I'd sell my soul to get this thing right!" The Devil (or a Devil) instantly appears. This Devil announces that Sam's math problem "was the phonetic equivalent of a demonic invocation", and intends to steal his soul, which would be sold to bidders from other worlds.

                        There is a catch, though. Sam is allowed to ask three questions in regard to the Devil's powers, and then pose either a question or a task; if the Devil cannot answer said question or perform said task, Sam's soul is spared. Sam asks, "Really?", which the Devil counts as a question.

                        Sam's next question is more carefully planned. He asks if there are any physical limitations to the Devil's powers; the demon gleefully replies in the negative, claiming that he is able to travel faster than the speed of light or make two electrons occupy the same quantum state.

                        The third question forms a corollary to the second. Sam queries if there is any place from which the Devil cannot find his way back. The Devil, with malicious joy, informs Sam that he can move through galaxies in a microsecond, and even go to places that do not exist, such as "Berlin if the Nazis had won the war", or Rome had Alexander the Great "lived to a ripe old age".

                        The Devil, confident of his victory, demands that Sam pose his final question or task. Sam, armed with his new knowledge, calmly provides the impossible task:

                        "Get lost."

                          It might, but it says it's to finish on the 31 and the 1st. Could it still be calculating?
                          Gonna have to check it tonight.

                          Keep in mind that it did take a week to setup, so it very well could have crashed. Who knows, maybe it can't take the workload.

                            Re-installed and it's running now, guess we'll have to see for how long.

                              Oh, I am sure it'll be fine now. This is really great guys, we'll be top #1000 quite a bit faster now and as of then it's simply a countdown to 1!
