LOL! I was waiting to see who would ask him first! :D :up: Keep it up all!

BTW... can someone link me to some info on the bootable USB key for D2OL?? That sounds handy for when a HD dies or something similar.

I'm working on the final build for that, I'll be posting it within the next couple weeks when I am fairly sure it's stable...I am also working on Dimes and F@H versions.... be patient with me :) this high speed connection (NOT) has me handcuffed a little.

Sorry... I thought this was something people were already using. Can you tell us a little about it? Does it run off of linux? What do you approximate the footprint to be?

This is a very interesting prize! :slobber:

Final foot print should be under 64Meg for GUI (Dimes only has GUI) quite a bit smaller for F@H and D20L... say 32 for D2OL, as low as 8Meg for F@H...

My D2OL folder is 68MB per node with 2000 candidates queued if that helps. (And I strongly recommend that everyone set there queue limit to the max of 2000!)

So I assume a Linux distro will be used... so the user will be required to copy drivers to the thumb drive?

I know you don't have it done yet... sorry if I'm bugging you with questions but this just seems uber cool and I'm very curious as to how this would work. (Knowing little to nothing about Linux doesn't help either.)

If anyone can convince a top 50 power cow to join for the duration until they are BBQ I will personally kiss their ugly butt and I will find something very rewarding for them (and I mean that), how's that?

So poach away.

Sure why not? Cows can join. As long as you bring over the entire points gatherd as a cow :D

If this team would habe a TSM department (or was it TMC) I'dve brung over my points gather under the DPC flag to :p:

But I did not D2OL before Xs so... :)

Edit: UnG, you serius? Does it have to be a active cruncher or just something willing to donate points to us? :)

I'll be glad to give it a go :)

It would be scalable with the accomplishment, seeing as the moo girls read our forums, I think the odds are low. But if it is pulled off, I will make it a very special event. As well, keep in mind, you are doing this to contribute to the research, so the net goal of D2OL would not be subverted in any way. As always, keep it friendly.

Can I add Alec? He's got about 1000 cands and isnt active but I speak to him on MSN.

If he gets back active (even a little) can I have an entry? Or would he have to get to that 2250 marker?
10-24-2005, 02:31 PM
Ugly n Grey

Yeah if he has a grand today and you re-activate him, he has to be at 3250 at contest end... and it's really easy.... only a couple of weeks of crunching out of the five ish till contest end...
