We are losing ground

[moddolicous]

To all of Free-DC and our guests from XS,

I've got the grill pit ready. You want me to put the beef on?
If so, I'll need an idea about what we want.. .ribs, burgers, etc ????
How about the side dishes? Can everyone bring one side dish to pass around?

:D
We discussed this @ XS, and are still tryin to find a central location (as DDtung is in Hong Kong, Windforce in Israel, and lots of other places. Once we get that settled, then we'll worry about the side dishes. Vegas was one choice:rock:

Well I guess from the above posts it's not over till it is over. So there is no need to wait till it is over to run new power so that I can add more power:looney:

[riptide]

With ronbo back, I am sure the XS will have a harder time overtaking us.

:cheers:
As i said back on the XS, we will have a harder time. :cheers: The cows have just collapsed and its only the 6th! :rock: You guys will probably be tough. So I can't wait to see what the summer brings us. :D

[ex2cib]

just thought i'd let you know, we're about 15k away from them now, time for us to fire up the grills

Ok, I will stoke it up and pick up some nice cure bacon to wrap those steaks and burgers in..... (makes them REALLY nice and tender) :D

Well Good That will tip the scale.:thumbs:
Now even the XS DTR (Day to roadkill) clock is turning backward

3 XtremeSystems 24,672,263 315,331.54 -133,292.55 23.29

Oh don't worry LAUREN, I am sure our fellow Free-DCer's still have alot of firepower left to keep the XS at bay.

Maybe we will toy around with them and let them pass us first before we fire up everything we've got and take back 1st place. :rotfl:

They were running full steam ahead when we started to get a lead on them in the middle of the month. We out ran them. And would have done regardless of whether they stopped running or not. The way I see it XS were slow to start off, but as the month started and progressed, we picked up speed. had a few key members joined us with big powa behind them. And even still some big hitters are joining every few days for XS long after the shampede has ended. This is gonna be great! I can't wait to see what July/August brings.:Pokes:

Well that is not completely true, although XS was putting up a nice fight, it was only in the final few days of the stampede that you guys out produced us, and that wasn't really because you produced more, we produced less..

But overall, i wish good luck getting FDC, you'll need it :cheers:

I refer you to free-dc's lovely statspage. DPC were increasing production most of the days until 30/04/2006, then collapsed. I believe we outproduced you 11/12 separate days in April. http://stats.free-dc.org/new/teamrank.php?proj=rah&team=Dutch+Power+CowsThat is One third of all the days in April.. not a few.

[Bullet2urBrain]

although XS was putting up a nice fight

True!

Not True!

and that wasn't really because you produced more, we produced less..

Not True! We broke 400k Did You?


But overall, i wish good luck getting FDC, you'll need it :cheers:

Very Much True!!!

[Absolute0]

XS has a lot of untapped resouces, and don't forget, Opty 165s and 170s at 3Ghz are standard issue there ;)

The next months are going to be quite fun :cheers:

[ToshPower]

True!



Not True!


Not True! We broke 400k Did You?



Very Much True!!!

I am not going to argue, i still respect the things XS has done, so i'll leave it at that.

The one thing i'll comment on is the 400k barrier. That was more an effect of the stats beeing incorrect the day before, as you can clearly see in the stats :) Non the less, great work, keep it up :rock:

I want to apologize, if I may, for some of my more rambunctious teammates. You guys deserve much respect. I think I may even had a moment of disrespect, myself, in an entirely different time and an entirely different project, towards Free-DC.

It is easy to get caught up in competition, in "bloodlust", in maybe the heady swirl of a major pass, but the fine crunchers of Free-DC deserve respect. I suggest they be treated that way.

Get to know them, they're good guys. Then try your best to whoop them. In actions. Trashtalking doesn't really have a place here.

You.... Leave now. no one asked you to come over here and start defending XS.. you can go home now and dont let the door hit you on the way out. I will out DC you, and all your friends and then DDTUNG will out DC you and the PY will out DC you :jester: :jester: :lmao: :harhar:

Seriously, though, bro, you know I wasn't referring to you. You are a known incorrigible around here, and probably loved for it. Just some of our more exuberant, and possibly youthful guys are not showing respect.

Hello guys I feel its time for a disclaimer here.

To all Free-DCers please note that some of the views expressed in this thread arent necessarily the views from the whole team nor can they represent individuals unless the indivual mentioned posts for themselves to confirm.

Hope that makes sense, I want to keep this clean and friendly.

*grabs popcorn*

This should be a good fight, provided of course that Free DC actually try to stay the course in a big project. :p

Still, it's good to see Zippy from FAD is still around. I wondered what happened to his farm.

[serlv]

Thanks, Biggles.
When I almost had an electrical "meltdown" take down my house, I used the down time to break the farm apart , reconstitute and rebuild it. I retired a bunch, built some new ones.

[ladypcer]

Well, this should be fun. Both Free-DC and XS are powerhouse teams.
This will be intense, but don't forget it's supposed to be fun too. :cheers:

Hi Lauren! :hiya: :D

[Bok]

Keep it friendly guys, I don't want to have to moderate this thread but will if need be..

I see mainly exuberance from some of the younger members of XS, nothing TOO much to worry about. I have nothing but respect for XS and what they have done in Rosetta and D2OL before that. But for those at XS that may not be aware, in the latter days of D2OL when there was a big battle going on with DPC and some very 'undetermind' dumps coming out from them, please remember that a number of Free-DC members moved all of their points to your team in order for you to stay at #1..

I'll ignore the ARSe comment for now as well, it's par for the course..

This is a copy of a message I received, evidently because I'm a registered user on thier forum.


Hello fellow XS Members!

We don't email you often but we're involved in something that can use your help. Our XS Rosetta team is involved in a battle for first place with the good folks at Free DC. What we'd like to ask from you is to come to the XS forum, stop into the Rosetta section and just take a look and see if this is something you'd be interested in doing. Be it to help out XtremeSystems, for the team spirit, the friendly competition, or for the stats! Also add that after sucessfully completing a certain amount of points, users will be eligible for a custom title of their choice. Have a look at the Rosetta forum to see what you need to do. But, so as not to be too long, we've got a few useful bits of information for you.

What is Rosetta exactly?
Here is a link to the welcome page of Rosetta where the project leader, Dr. David Baker, explains it much better than we ever could:
http://boinc.bakerlab.org/rosetta/rah_welcome.php

Points are given on a benchmarking basis, and the stats are regularly updated, along with Bok's comprehensive stats over here: http://stats.free-dc.org/new/teamstats.php?proj=rah&team=XtremeSystems". It's also a fantastic way to prove if your system really is as stable as you claim!

What are the minimum system requirements?
Anything above a P3-500 with 512mb ram. The ram is a more important issue than the cpu speed, but a P3-500 (or AMD comparable) is about the minimum.

How will it effect my PC?
Practically none: this is one very good point on Rosetta. Rosetta uses a configurable client. By default it will run at 100% cpu usage. If you open up a game, it automatically backs off the cpu usage. You can also go into the "preferences" section and set the cpu usage to a lower percentage. You can also "suspend" Rosetta with a simple right click of the icon in the system tray. A service install is also available. Rosetta works with both Windows and Linux.

For the next few months rosetta will also be running CASP, which means a chance to get our names in some top medical journals. More can be found over here: http://predictioncenter.org/casp7/.

I don't want to write a book here and any additional info can be obtained at the forum and any questions can be answered by any one of the guys in the Rosetta section. We are sure you’ll have a great time folding for the team. We really need your help and thanks for taking the time to read this.

Sincerely,
DC-team XS Rosetta

It has changed from a high back in the days to the current pharm that I have going right now.

I'd love to see or even read what kind of setup DDTUNG have. He must have like a whole giant office pharm with at least 400 machines running (I already have about 250 running). Dang, that must be a huge office.
