This is for SETI in case anyone has any questions, like I did.

I've thrown my new PIII 733 at work towards SETI. Any other spare cpu cycles out there?

Ya, my PowerMac 6100/66 is hard at work crunching

im kinda pissed, it should have returned a unit on wednesday but i f#cked around with SETI and lost all work. 99.3% all gone..

moving on....should be returning a unit late sunday or early monday at its current crunch rate...

We have been tracking LittleWhiteDog for a while now. Too bad about JUGHEAD.

OK. I'll bite.
What's Übero?

[Bockie]

Ubero is just another DC project. Here's the website: www.ubero.com . It stands for: "universal binding and execution of redundant objects" and their client can process varying projects. Currently it has no new data, but if their theory is marketable, users of the client will be paid for their cycles.

Oh, and by the way, it's mentioned because we're ahead of ARS's team in team ranks. We're ranked #1.

Not too impressed with the prurient level of discourse over there...

So, Scott, when are we going to move some muscle over into SETI? Should we be thinking about it now that Ubero is under wraps for now?

[Michael A. Peters]

Little White Dog-
the time for taunting is when you are within 2 or 3 days of overtaking.

Otherwise- your bark is louder than your bite

Not yet.
Ars wants it back.
We'll start another recruitment effort in the next few months though, once the team config app is done.

We are closer than you think just check your stats page

The dogs are getting close. LittleWhiteDog looks set to nail us within a couple more weeks. Despite the name, they do not offer pet services. They actually review (pc) hardware. We just passed National Yang-Ming University with help from some new members, and it looks like Team User Friendly will be falling very soon.

I have P2/266, a P3/733, a celeron 366, and two celeron 500s I can throw on SETI if needed.

[Michael A. Peters]

That's my point.
Not as many people here noticed you before.
Even with it on the stats page.
Don't be too surprised if people gear up now.

No fear here!! Pass us if and when you can. Bark less and do more.

I just wanted to apologize for my comrades in LWD. Unfortunately, this is what happens to people when you're so used to passing up teams. As for the "if" we will pass you, I'm afraid that it is really a "when"...the cold hard fact is that PCs have passed up Macintoshes (take a look at our average times; one of my machines spits 'em out every three hours). It's this kind of raw, crushing power that just goes to your head...my apologies once again.

No apologies necessary. It is mildly entertaining. As was somewhat mentioned before. Speak when you are ready to knock on the door, not weeks ahead of time. Also be aware that when our Ubero push is over, we may bring more power back to SETI, if we choose to do so. Each platform has its advantages and strengths in different areas. Many MacNN team members are multi-platform, just as some LWD members are multiplatform. Now if you wanted to Challenge us at RC-5, that would be definitely unfair to you, as that is an arena where the Macs shine at about a 3 to 1 ratio per mhz. As I said, each platform has its advantage. Oh, a dual 1 gig Mac can turn in times approx the same as yours, but by processing two units at the same time. Right now, your immediate concern is not MacNN but User Friendly and MacObserver. You must pass them to get to us.

We at Littlewhitedog.com are just confident in our abilities.

I just want to get this straight....

We are used to choosing people a little bit ahead... playing with our food, so to speak, specifically to given them a chance to run for it.

We tried to play with those in the slots right above us, but by the time they replied, it was a done deal, and resulted in little more than a wave as they choked on our dust.

Instead we find that we can get weeks of entertainment by warning those such as you that we are coming, and that we are a force to be reckoned with.

Alas, its inevitable that we shall blow by you, I mean even adding two new members with 20k each (according to your own news), which means an additional 40k, that only places us 50k behind... a temporary repieve, but one, which us dawgs just love to see.

You have to admit, a couple of weeks of good natured fun is so much better than just slamming the door in your faces as we bury our feces behind us

And feel free to move more "resources" over to your team from "other" projects (we dawgs are single minded, we don't need no stinken other projects), we like to see our food sweat and panic. Makes the chase that much more fun.

anyways, feel free to stop on by and add your own comments... thats .... www.littlewhitedog.com in case we hadn't been real clear... step into the forums, we have a WHOLE section just about seti...

tell ya what.. we always have people posting about improving seti operations.. feel free to add, and read.. who knows, you might learn something in the process (or we might)...

regardless.. in the long run.. its all about the wu, and its little distractions like this that add a bit of fun to it.

yours in conquest...

Not sure if you were refering to me, as my old display name was OoCobra97 for the SETI team and LWD Forum, but I have only changed teams one time, when alas virtualhideout.net was down for a month on end with no word of what was happening in the forums. Then I cam eacross my new home about a year ago...and have added almost 8920 WU to my stash (when I left virtual hideout I had 80 WU).

So hopefully it wasnt me you were refering to =)
But, we will see you around quite a bit, until our sights settle on our next victim =)

hehe you will see what 300 angry mac users can do, just wait we are all on ubero now finishing up kicking ars's booty to the moon in that, we have to readjust our machines, i just changed 2 over now.... I hope your crapy wintells can keep up!!!

That does it, im putting my 180 mzh win chip back online. LWD will pass you soon with all that superfast computing power! its got to be as fast as a 1ghz mac! Matter of fact it does 1wu in under 140hours!

That's the key difference between the two teams, LWD is very focused on SETI, and this is why our numbers keep getting better.

off topic - nice set of reporting scripts you guys have here for team stats and graphs. I assume this is MacOS X driven...

iceman - I probably have the only two Macs running on TeamLWD.

Fortunately for LWD, we do spread our power around...&lt;grin&gt;.

You can Thank Reader 50 for the great stats pages. I don't know what they run on, as various team members run a lot of different platforms including Linux. Macs are just the platform of choice. Glad to see that at least one member of LWD has some good taste.

I checked out my SETI production capabilities and am ready if needed, but am going back to Folding until you get a little closer. Too early to get flustered about it yet.

As to your forums, you have no "guest" mode that I could find. Just didn't feel like registering

Sounds like it might almost keep up with one of the very early PowerMacs. (ho hum!) Not worth the electricity to keep it running.

No

Don't know what cobra your thinking about, I have never joined any team ever. I enter the Ubero Team and since someone else took my screen name I had to go by cobramac. But I had those seti 20k wu for 3 years without belonging to any team. Right now my resources are in Ubero, and since someone switched teams to get TCP to 1million before us, I figure when I saw this post, I give the seti team my 20k. If you look at Ubero's production, you will I'm doing half or 1/3 of the teams productions.

[The Placid Casual]

I have my personal dual 800 working on RC5 at the moment...however, if needs be (or when the time comes) I can muster a few more macs (only G3s I'm afraid) to point toward the SETI effort...

If needed just let me know...

I'm not complaining. Nope, definitely not complaining.

If anyone is curious, S. Harada came over from Apple. I hadn't been able to figure where Cobra came from.

Shaktai, wd_iceman ... the team stats code is all developed on my G4 under OS X. Some of it later runs on the MacNN server, under FreeBSD. Thanks for the kudos.

I think the cobra I was referring to was actually named CobraICE or something like that.
Now that I think about it.

[Shaktai]

It is good to have cobramac on board, no matter what. And yes we have all noticed how much you contribute to the Ubero effort. Thanks for that and for the SETI units. You are appreciated. As of this moment I calculate your contribution to Ubero as being 40%. (WOW!!!)

I was hoping to get a third computer online, but couldn't swing it right now. Maybe later.

Yawn,.....my PowerMac 6100/66mhz did a unit in 82 hours 20 mins..... yeah thats right, a 66mhz PowerPC 601 stomped all over your 180Mhz Intel chip.



right now its on track to finish its second unit in about 100+ hour

NO! that means im gona have to quit running the screensaver version, that should get me down a few hours!

cobramac i just want you to know you are my hero!!! now to get my old g4 running seti, scott i assume ubero is safe for now... i may leave my old preforma on it though.....

now these dog fanatics are beginning to annoy me.... i wandered over to their "yard" and found lots of mac bashing and chest beating...

Hmm, we should respond, but I'm not sure we can get that much power without putting everything on SETI.

They are too cowardly to do more then one project, we do 4.
Let's try and push it off a bit, then see about whipping their doggie asses.

LWD has less than half as many members, and three times the throughput...

It's only a matter of time, even if you apply more resources, it takes a while to get those units going.

It's simple math, our daily mean average is much higher than yours, with lower time per unit completed

I have nothing against macs, my first 2000 units or so were crunched on a farm that was 60 percent Mac based for O'Grady's PowerPage team. As I migrated more resources from Mac to x86, I didn't feel right with remaining on a Mac focused team.

You folks have a good crowd here, and let's keep things friendly...

See, this is what I like; this is the reason that we have started our taunt so early. So we can have some fun with it.
