I agree with PCZ on the Windows issue. I tried it on my Windows box and turned in Free-DCs worst time yet on this project:

Looks like Linux rules EON, so those with Linux boxes...
Um... what's a "lamented plaque" and would you really want one? :)
Of course, there's PCZ's solution, which is to desert the team.
According to my LM stats engine, 13 of our remaining 28 members have contributed work in the last week. That's a better...
At the moment, LifeMapper is one of the few projects where we aren't getting clobbered, so it's probably worth continuing. I've been putting my limited resources (my farm is powered down while I'm...
Beyond = TGC?
A stats poltergeist? If so, is there one that could come by and bump us up about a million WU? :)
It looks like we took a pretty considerable hit, but I can't for the life of me remember who the old #5 cruncher was. At this rate we won't even end the project in the top 150, much less in the top...
It's a little early to be getting cocky, isn't it?
I just checked the Primenet server:

Is this a lost sheep or an amazing coincidence of naming?

I've been following the "What kind of Ars..." thread since it started and I think that the single most important thing that's emerged is that the idea of developing a distinct identity for each...
AHA! I actually own a couple of Belkin network patch cables, so you're wrong there, Chinasaur. But that's the only piece of their networking gear I own - my router is a trusty ancient Netgear.

Each computer hosts one "island", which you should give a unique name and specify as the machine name. On my dual-CPU machine "Odin" I have two processes in different subdirectories, which is why the...
Willy1,
The team name is specified at the end of the "start" line in your bat file. Mine looks like:
start /low /b /wait java -Djava.security.policy=java.policy -jar ITClient.jar 139.184.166.27...
Did Rechenkraft move up due to huge output from their members, or did a bunch of people transfer their work?
To regain second place, we'd need to double our total work, which is probably a solid...
I would be derelict in my traditional role of wet blanket if I didn't mention this, but those of you who started crunching Gimps in order to improve our standing in the DC Repository and are...
MS Word uses a lot of CPU because it's watching you type and trying to figure out spelling, grammar and some other stuff. If you turn off automatic spelling and grammar checking, you should find you...
I've heard that the Linux version is slightly faster than the Windows version, though I haven't done any side-by-side tests.
I've just watched a few units finish on some of my boxes:
Athlon 2400+...
Fozzie:
1) No. 1 point per work unit.
2) Yes, go to lifemapper.org and sign in. You can choose species, geography and favorite data source. Be aware that unassigning yourself frequently doesn't...
Since Gimps reports work done in P90 years, is there a good reference for what this means in terms of modern chips? Now that we've got all these new instruction sets and bigger caches it would seem...
So now that you're off and rolling, and FreeDC is ranked 30024, don't you think it's time to suck up to Beth133? He's ranked 36. A combination would place FreeDC at 36th in the project (with a fair...
Willy1, you're right. TPR is an Ars Technica team which participates in Gimps and SOB. We have an SOB team of our own. There are Free-DC members crunching for the Ars Gimps team, some because they...
I suggest you actually read the Novartis case study. Here's a little snippet from their
pdf. "Novartis has linked 2,700 of its researchers' PCs in a high-performance grid that delivers an extra 5+...

Lots of you are probably aware of the ruckus surrounding JetBlue's secret contribution of passenger data to a pentagon contractor. The project was intended to help the government sort out its policy...
