You should have seen her smile this morning when I told her she had 905,965 WCG points on the first WCG update for the day..:D
So, Dave, You bullied certain someone from intel to swich quality control SW with WCG for the week? :-D
ahh, nope..:DQuote:

An hour and a half? Thats May 2 my friend, we're talking May1 here..
Love the pic of the kid and the pie! :D
Fine then, borg'd the Wife's i3 quad core laptop and added two more virtual cores. My nads are ash if I get caught but I can't say I didn't make the best run at pie I could.

Look at the cake :eek:

PFM3136, if you read this come in and take a bow will you?
You deserved it! :D
Yeahhhh buddy! A fellow classmate gettin' him some pie!
That's what it's all about. Now lets keep these numbers going fellas :D ... A big contrats to all the folks really turning it up. I know we all are giving it our best! D_A - I feel your pain with borgin computers... My wife's laptop is crunching away and I forbid her to use it at all this week. :D Great work everyone and I look forward to seeing some more #1 pie eating shockers this week :up::up::up::up::up::up:
Holy moley guacamole! :bows:

Each time I've added more to try and scratch up some pie the Pie Gods is like:

Get pie. Lose pie. Blinked and I missed it. This is a tough crowd! I will gladly give up pie though to get all those points for the cause!
Thank you all.
As they were doing an extended outage for reworking their network, i bumped the cache and did the same :D
I just took a little longer (like 6 days), and still isn't finished, still some network cables loose on the floor :rofl:
Already waiting for a 3770k for a media server and to join the others on WCG.
Very nicely done! :clap:Quote:

Your Mrs called and said you were getting a little "paunch" around the waistline so we pulled out all the stops, called in a big hitter from Portugal and Bingo..No pie for you!Quote:

That was awesome !! :)
Ah the ever long chase for some pie. Its one of those twinkles that just gets further away the closer you get to it. I'm only 15k away from pie...but I'm already maxed out except for two Arima boards.
I replaced my CMOS batteries and neither board will light up. I am suspecting the one spare power supply I have may be bad...
I'm at 68 cores now, 26 at home (and spinning the power meter so fast it whistles!) and 42 in the cloud. If I was running Windows (and specifically Silverlight) I could add another core free with the Microsoft Azure cloud. Short of another region going live in the HP cloud before the beta finishes I'm tapped out. If it DOES go live then I get another 20 cores ... and I expect someone else on XS will manage to borg the Jaguar system in case there's a chance I could get a whiff of pie.
Shyte a brick! I even made it into the top 100 at WCG yesterday (98th spot, but still) ... but since it seems most of the rest are all here at XS :shrug:
get some 3770ks :P mine, with a ssd and H100 is actually pulling 128 out of the wall which equates to 92KwH a monthQuote:

It's worth looking into different types of wind turbines. The big propeller on a stick is only one sort, and probably not the best for a home user application. Vertical axis units and loop-bladed ones are worth a look for efficiency, size reduction and less operating noise, plus they're low enough to not get birds stuck to them like the tall ones.
No matter what i do, i can't seem to be able to check this thread beyond page146 (can see the buttons for 147, 148 but clicking them i am back on 146) :(
edit: WTF- i posted this and i am still on page146 with 147,148 button visible/available to click. :(
Bahhh- forget that.
Good one D_A. :lol:
But i just keep telling myself this all the time, in all walks of life and applies here to-
All those who crunch are winners. Some may get slices for their contribution but there are also those who contribute to get the crumbs, to make it 100%. :)
Just view the last page :)
It's a forum error because this thread has too much awesome sauce on the pie.
Dark Angel thanks for the information. If I can get some kind of ok then I would like to build a DIY project wind turbine. That is going to be a while down the road unfortunately, all my extra money is tied up in my WCG farm ATM.
Good one D_A! Loved the post! :up:
I can haz pie, please?
I don't think either of us will see even a crumb this week with this group..Quote:

I have some work to do. I need some more hardware, but I'm at the top 40% after just a few weeks, so the future is looking good. My goal is top 100 on xs.
