So do we roll over and die or do we fight ?

"Are those the only choices?"-- Chicken Run

I say fight, but I am currently using 265% of my available boxen, so I can't help out any more. No lie. All of MY home computers (100%) , the other computers in the house (65%, edited for part time), and the parents work computers (another 100%). Paycheck ain't till thursday. I'm working on convincing Barnes & Noble, where I work, to let it run on the 23 new Dell P4 2.4's put throughout the store. Phat chance of that happening....

There isn't a run away option because anyone caught :mouserun:
will be shot.

[magicfan241]

I can take my current output and put it to the 256th power. 0^256=0 hmmm. If the lead gets to 1.5 mil, call me at (555) 555-1212. I won't be waiting.

You should get a link on the official forums, that says "Hosted by Free-dc", and when they click on it, it converts them to Free-DC. Gets new members....

I was able to bring on 3 more finally - but I'm just about tapped out until them Opteron thangs get turned loose on the public :)
Oh, and Free-DC never runs :swear:
We DIG IN! :cheers:
/me wonders if I need to remove the keys from the virtual fridge door so folks can concentrate ;)

/me pulls out 22 six-packs of Corona while shouting "Good idea IB!!! Just keep posting that while I clean up in here!!!"

:jester: :|party|: :lmao:

[magicfan241]

/steals a six pack


Have no computers, oh well. posting is fun too. On my IBM thinkpad 755CDV. 486DX4 100Mhz. Won't run DF. It has 40MB of Ram!

[PCZ]

IB

I am about maxed out as well.

PS
Are you still rebooting every 24 hours?
I have got lazy since the update and haven't been doing it.

[IronBits]

No, I do not stop the client every 24hrs. Haven't since the new client came out.
I do have a schedule that checks it every hour and looks for the foldtrajlite.ex process, if it doesn't find it, it removes the .lock file and restarts it tho.
I had two computers that had restarted the client about 5 times in a row, but that's about it.

[PCZ]

This looks better

Got a new 3.2 Ghz HT box that will go on line this week sometime. Sadly, got kicked off the boxen at work after the upgrade fiasco, so I'm stuck with what I can bring up at home. Any good suggestions for $200 folding boxes? I could bring up a few more at that price.....

[rsbriggs]

They might go for the screensaver version :)

[magicfan241]

I was thinking that, but screensavers are disabled.... got to keep a professional image and all. I will work on it for a while longer. I am spending around 15% of my paycheck there anyway, so, they should give me borging rights...

[Chinasaur]

$217 before shipping

Did anyone notice the thermometer is set to hit the top at 1 billion, and not 10 billion?

[rsbriggs]

On the other hand, something like this 2.4 Ghz Celeron motherboard might be a better buy? ( By the time you add fan, case, and hard drive, you're probably well over $200 again. )


Tigers deal 2.4 Celeron (http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=588557&Sku=MBM-PM10-C2400)

Wish IronBits would weigh in here with a suggestion or two....

[Chinasaur]

A Celeron????????

Words say 1B..graphic is still 10B

[IronBits]

Not! We are already at the 2 mark, but only with 200,000,000+
Normally that thang don't move till we hit a billion mark... :bang:

[Chinasaur]

What? What?

Do0d..yer becoming incomprehensible!!! You been into the Irish Mist today????

[Chinasaur]

Hmm..you might even be right..

Perhaps Howard's delicately-worded reply in this thread (http://www.free-dc.org/forum/showthread.php?s=&threadid=3667) is a clue.

Rolling over and dying is not an option here! Crunching as we always have and recruiting new members is all that we need to do in order to engage in a "fair" battle against the Arsians.

/me is also an Arsian but not for df!
