I'll be expecting something creative when I get home from school. Lucky you. You get to go to school ... I get to go to the dentist today to get my choppers polished.    |

We will fix the wrap in a couple of minutes. Stay tuned for full details of this release. There are some other interesting items coming.... (for a hint look at http://www.worldcommunitygrid.org/stat/viewGlobal.do?xml=true ) I'll be expecting something creative when I get home from school. It's in Member News now. Some nice additions I think! |

By the way, despite the fact we're going to win our challenge with the Edwardians by a comfortable margin due to the absence of their top producer, we need to stay strong and keep putting up good numbers. We're going to be lucky this time - might not happen next time.
Blizzie, your machines are turbo-hardcore but I'm wondering if it's worth it. According to WCG, points are given out based on comparisons to a "standard machine." The better one's machine is than the standard one, the more points one gets. However, this is only up to double the power of that machine. If the standard machine is is less than half as good as your rigs (which might be the case) then your overclocking might not be helping you at all. Does anyone know what the standard machine specs are? |

Jonathan - I think you may be getting confused with the benchmarking of the old UD client rather than Boinc who's benchmarking has nothing to do with a 'standard machine'.
With Boinc, although everyone in the quorum gets the same credit - overclocking means you crunch the units faster, hence you crunch more units in the same time as a stock machine and therefore get more points overall  |

Jonathan, assuming your premise is correct, would Blizzie still be ahead because he would finish more WUs in the same amount of time than if he de-OC'd to that double standard machine point?

We're going to be lucky this time - might not happen next time. Let's not count our chickens yet. It's only the second day of 28. There is still PLENTY of time for who knows what to happen. Nite Owl could find a way to keep his crunchers going while he's gone too. Let's take it one day at a time. |

Nite Owl could be faking with his left while punching with his right.   Nice bunch of people those Edwardians!! Back from the dentist. Now I have clean teeth ... but still have a dirty mind. |

I noticed our newest member, nmasum, has not returned a result yet but opened a thread in the chat room. I redirected him/her here in case any assistance is needed.
