I have written a small bash script for Linux which automatically starts sb when it´s not running and restarts the client if it hangs (network problems). This was a big problem for me since the clients would hang every other day and i would waste my precious cpu time. The last 2 weeks i have been...

My production also dropped from ~310K to ~270K. :( First thought on of my nodes was down, then i was worrying something was going wrong with my nodes. :confused: But the i found this thread. :) Now i´m reliefed that no cpu cycles are wasted.;)

I think i will try this sb client and if everything works fine i will move all my nodes(4) from seti to sb. Maybe i can add a few more nodes that do part time crunching since we are currently building a small cluster at the University. :)

Welcome to the Team. :)

I finally made the 3K :) Thanks for the stats OD.

Just checked it out: TCWO.com also has Asus A7M266DL 760MPX Dual SktA for only $89. :) Anyone who needs a decent cruncher should check it out.

Burn you OS onto a CD-R so that noone can change you os or install any trojan horses or keyloggers.....In case of emergency throw it in the microwave on full power for a minute :), or simply equipp it with a thermit charge.. /var and /home should be on an encrypted harddrive (above 1024 Bit...

You still have the problem of the mass. The closer you get to c the more energy you need to accellerate the particle. To reach c you would need an infinit amount of energy. :( You might gain a bit more speed but won´t solve the problem....(mini black holes seems to me a bit too much efford ;)...

You could use some kind of dielectric oil. It's used for cpacitors and tranformators i think. But you will run in quite a few problems i think... You will still have to cool the liquid. And HDs don't like liquids. ;).

Why not go for Linux server. Samba works great an is even faster than MS File Sharing. Would save you the 600 for the OS. Since you don´t have inet acccess security is not that critical (don`t know how iportant this isfo you) . But Win2k itself is not really secure if you don´t install about 20...

<< A. If one have to store file from Win to Linux box - he 'll use ftp. You can even map ftp site to a network drive. >> Ever tried watching movies, running applications or anything else over FTP?? For Storage FTP works fine. But not if you want to use the files. And FTP login is not...

Well Linux is not like Windows ;) If you install Linux you reboot it only when you: 1. Install new kernel 2. Installl new Hardware 3. Have a power loss 4. want to clean the fans and the case from all the dust... 5. don´t understand how it works And this is what happens: << 2:24am up 122...

<< Text Just an addendum to what Yossarian451 said: if you do have a legal reason to get the identity of a person using a particular IP, then the ISP is required to divulge such information to law enforcement, I believe. And, as for whether or not you can find someone's IP who uses dialup, I...

snorks: Its all convincing you are telling and i would always buy scsi solution if i had the money. You havent talked about prices ;). And since danwatt want´s cheap solution its just out of the question buying a scsi solution i think. If you read my post i recommended a IDE hardware raid...
