    I'm trying to come up with a way to challenge you in some way, to keep it interesting for you, and to make you work at it.

    I'm more interested in what it will take for you to match my SETI output actually...

    I'm sure it will be interesting or I wouldn't bother you.

    You can always tell a Brummie, but you can't tell him much.

    Watch out Petey, coming through!
    Didn't even see you coming...you were just a blur

    Right now I reckon we are only 3,000 points behind L'Alliance Francophone.

    And Elias Roa has joined us today as well

    Maybe they doing one of their 'workunit' prunes and will be back later today

    or...maybe SETI.USA gave them a few quid to stop us overtaking them

    poem@home for the linux boxes and spinhenge for the windoze (spinhenge sucks on linux - 30% slower).

    Oh, and Lauren and IB probably did break it after all

    Ya, it keeps choking, and it doesn't keep the CPUs pegged either

    Join us over on spinhenge@home for a while, we're going for some frog legs

    That's ok Lauren, it's a BETA setup anyways. Good test for them to see if they can handle the load.
    Schweet!
    The challenge, if it's not too much of a bother for you, is to find out how many cores it's going to take to match my output.
    Free-DC is so far behind in this project, it wouldn't hurt to crunch a little to find LGM for Free-DC anyways.

    Hint: I don't use CPUs on Seti

    NO NO NO, that won't work!!!
    And...
    I want to know how many CPUs it takes to keep up with my little GPU farm!
    Once this is over, I can recommend you the card(s) to get for GPU related projects.

    Cool. We can do the math after that I suppose.
