    Cool Faceoff

    It looks like Lauren has decided to come after me on this project.
    I feel there is another massive GPU faceoff about to happen.
    That means we will be shooting up the rankings though.

    At least you're helping.
    That's 0.24% we wouldn't have without you.
    Now if we could just convince some more people to join in we would travel a lot faster and be able to visit more countries. Just don't tell anybody that the GPU credit here is very good.

    I wonder if somebody could figure out how many miles we're covering?

    Russia Team - Russia
    ORION-7 - Canada
    USA - USA
    Electronic Sports League - International so I guess that means a trip to the ISS
    Crunching Family - Germany

    Actually, I'm in the process of changing ISPs at work. The old one shutdown last week and hopefully I'll get the new one up and running tomorrow or Friday. The good news is that I'm getting a 16x faster connection which should help end all the upload/download backlogs I had.

    The next step is to try to get the air conditioners upgraded so I can run more machines in hot weather.

    Why is it that your upload speed never comes close to your Download speed
