Since it seems we're in spelling correction season, may I point out that on the SoB pages, in the logo in the top left corner, it says "Distrubted" attack, instead of "Distributed"? :rolleyes:

I...

I don't think that's the reason, most people in my team are on our uni's network (129.125.*) or have cable modem, and they all have a normal IP address. I suspect there's just some small bug in the...

This works correctly for me. It also works for the other people on my team (PINO) that I've tried (all from the Netherlands - and almost all either from the University of Groningen, or the @Home...

I don't want to be a spoilsport, but that firewall is there for some reason. If I wanted to run SoB at my workplace and had firewall trouble, then I would ask the sysadmin to authorize it and make it...

Assume equal computing power for a moment (we're not...

The overall project stats graph is going upwards nicely, but the last 24-hour graph *always* slopes downward.

I assume that it's somehow adding in results that came late to the graph, but this...

Grumble. Now it's the 8th... 1483076^65536+1 (404434 digits) was discovered in 2003 and took 6th place. At least our next one will be higher than that :smoking:

Well, same thing, just not as important then :-)

I think I read the two weeks in the FAQ, back when it existed.

In general I don't think a depth first search will necessarily find a prime...

I'd kinda like to pull a Captain Kirk and divert all our power to the forward phasers and punch a hole in just one K. Better chance of hitting it, and the news...

I wrote a bit about SoB on Everything2 this weekend. The following nodes should explain it a bit:
