Free-DC vs Ars Technica: An Update

[Dyyryath]

Well, a week ago (no, wait, that's nearly <i>two</i> weeks ago!) they seemed pretty sure they were about to kick us out of the way and keep on going:<br><br><table width="90%" border="1" cellpadding="5" cellspacing="1" bordercolor="#63635A" bgcolor="#E7E7E2" align="center"><tr><td style="font-size: 12px; font-style: italic;"><b>Tateman:</b>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="font-size: 10px; font-style: italic;">(posted July 01, 2003 18:17)</span><br><br>#1 - 90,598,589 - FreeDC<br>#2 - 90,185,653 - Ars Technica Team Stir Fry<br><br>Any minute now.... <img src=http://www.free-dc.org/images/news/icon41.gif><hr><b>PackSwede:</b> <span style="font-size: 10px; font-style: italic;">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(posted July 02, 2003 09:34)</span><br><br>#1 - 94,528,295 - FreeDC<br>#2 - 94,439,027 - Ars Technica Team Stir Fry<br><br>Getting closer... <img src=http://www.free-dc.org/images/news/icon41.gif></td></tr></table><br><br>And yet...here we still are, and slowly beginning to pull away! We know they're big and nasty, Ars has a habit of squashing anyone who gets in the way...but they've underestimated us. We've reached down and found more production than ever before. We've also seen some old members start to jump back in with a vengeance (<b><a href="http://stats.zerothelement.com/cgi-bin/distributed-folding/render-user-detailed.pl?Id=2187">Beth133</a></b> anyone? <img src=http://www.free-dc.org/images/news/icon38.gif>). Even our own resident lunatic, <a href="http://stats.zerothelement.com/cgi-bin/distributed-folding/render-user-detailed.pl?Id=20151"><b>Anarchy99</b></a> , has been dishing out the structures lately!<br><br>With that in mind, let's end this update with a few words from our strange buddy, A99, who we'll let speak for our whole team (just this once, though, I promise):<br><br><table width="90%" border="1" cellpadding="5" cellspacing="1" bordercolor="#63635A" bgcolor="#E7E7E2" align="center"><tr><td style="font-size: 12px; font-weight: bold; color: red;">Behold, I come with the fury of natures wrath, and all eyes shall be upon me!<br><br>And all the DC teams of the earth shall bow before me!<br> <br>I am the Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, the who is, and who was, and who is to come, the DC Almighty!&nbsp;&nbsp;<img src=http://www.free-dc.org/images/news/icon44.gif> <img src=http://www.free-dc.org/images/news/icon44.gif></td></tr></table><br><br>(Yes, we <i>know</i> he's exceedingly strange...) <img src=http://www.free-dc.org/images/news/icon43.gif> <img src=http://www.free-dc.org/images/news/icon41.gif>

That wouldn't surprise me in the slightest. :D

[magicfan241]

Never let a resident lunatic speak for a team. Do like what Ars did and put him at the head of a dysfunctional team. Does wonders for post count....


From the sidelines I'll say GO TEAM! (I'm not telling which team that is....)

Now that is some hilarious frontpage pimping.

Way to go A99.

This should light a bonfire under the arse of the Ars. Bring it on people. :thumbs:

[Anarchy99]

the huddled masses have found comfort in my manifest destiny:notworthy

Your currently here (http://stats.zerothelement.com/cgi-bin/distributed-folding/render-users.pl?start=1200&order=TotalStruct&shading=SHADE&direction=DESC&team=-1&entries=100&color=YES) and you want to be here (http://stats.zerothelement.com/cgi-bin/distributed-folding/render-users.pl?start=400&order=TotalStruct&shading=SHADE&direction=DESC&team=-1&entries=100&color=YES)

:cheers:

And from what Dyy's stats say, you'll be 676th in 60 days, based on your current output which hasn't been a full week yet, so could still be incorrect. Your production looks good so far though :D

[Chinasaur]

Well..if yer on Free-DC's team, you are already in the Top 500 as we don't even have 500 members crunching :) FreeDC only has 131 listed members for DF :)

[Fozzie]

I have some computers working on it. However I have to transfer the files to CDRW to get them to a PC I can upload from.

Hopefully when I get my new PC finished I can really start crunching some protiens.

I'll get across to you guys as soon as the maintenance is finished on the site. seems down at the moment.

Looking at Dyyryath's stats page when I transfer across I will be 51st and last in the team. :-(

Oh well won't be for long so all those guys above me hold on to your hats I hope to be shooting up the ladder so get crunching as your place on the ladder isn't safe.

:cool:

Welcome aboard and have at it! :D

[Dyyryath]
