01/18/02 - Time for a new thread boys and girls...the old one is too dang big....Sorry for the double threads..just let the old one drop!

Updates: We've managed to take the lead...although a small one...a lead nonetheless! :)

But..

They are a very big team, and could leash out at us at any time...so we need every member that would like to join....

Help us defeat DSLR.....show them the AnandTech pride and spirit...WE WILL WIN (With your help)! :)

Welcome to all those who have joined! :D

DSLR now has two big guns....they have the power of about 700 PC's between them...and the potential for more... the only way to overcome them is to have more members that make the difference..and we can't even claim that...as they have almost 300 more members than we do...1662 vs 1949....so that's why we need your help.

Please read the posts below and help..You'll find a great group of TeAm members and a great forum in the DC forum to make friends and have fun...come on..join up and let the fun begin! :D We look forward to welcoming YOU to the TeAm! :D

TeAm AnandTech Easy to Install SETI guide...please use the CLI version install :)

Update: Quotes from DSLR members and what they think of AnandTech and our (YOUR) TeAm:

Team AnandTech is good during a challenge, but the difference between TA and DSLR Team Starfire is persistence. Starfire doesn't slack off after a challenge. We maintain our increased production. TA will fall asleep again, within a few weeks of the finish and we'll cut their lead and pass them.

and

Don't get upset at the amount of time the TA guys spend here. Since you've visited their site and read their threads, you should understand why they prefer to spend most of their time here. Let them enjoy themselves for a change. It's soooooo boring over there. >>

Read these and see what kind of respect AnandTech receives...


Started a new thread as the old one was large and potentially hard to read by all....

Thanks to all who have joined and a warm welcome as well...but we need more....

DSLR has their big producer back (about the power of 700 PC's or so)...and he's helping them pull away. Can the AnandTech faithful...with all the members...and all the PC's let this happen.....

I hope not! :Q Please Join..

***Notice to all those who have joined and are using the CLI and SETIDriver....Please make sure to add the shortcut to the STARTUP folder to insure that it will RESTART if your PC is restarted**


Previous thread info...

Hello all.....

It's that time again....we have been challenged to a new race with DSL Team Starfire...

The last race was a great growing experience for both teams but was ended just short of completion because of the sad day of September 11th.

Since then though, team DSL Starfire has outgrown and outproduced us considerably.....now it's our turn!!! :Q:Q:Q

A new race has started and we need your support.....all it takes is a few extra cpu cycles...just a few. The clients use spare CPU cycles in the search for signals and other signs from space for intelligent life or anomolies. They are easy to use, have little (mostly NO) impact on your system (even in benchmarks) and also help science too :)

Come on over to the DC forum and see what TeAm AnandTech is all about...you'll be glad you did!!! :D

Race Rules thread! :)

Race Start Thread (with stats links)

What team DSL Team Starfire thinks of AnandTech! :Q

TeAm Welcome thread with client information and setup links :)

Come on guys...put that new PC to work....support this great site and a great TeAm...

Team AnandTech needs your help.......please answer the call and defeat the DSL team...you'll be glad you did! :D

Team AnandTech Strikes back! :Q Buwhahahaha!

Race stats.....click me!

:Q Here's a Shout Out to all da' Vampires & Night Owls up this hour.. :Q

Thanks to all those that have decided to donate their idle computer's processing to help make our team (and your team) stronger.


Sometimes it's all about the betterment of science and exploration...
Then othertimes it's all about the camaraderie you get when you join...
Still othertimes you really love testing out your rig and collecting stats...

But right now, it's all about making DSLR cry.

looks like they are stockpiling their WU to hit us with a big bang towards the end.

Not only do we have the opportunity to stomp DSLR, but we need your help to catch the French forum team. They added a member who has over 13,000 WUs which more than offset the amount we have cut into their lead!!!

Join the TeAm help us stomp DSLR and catch the French! :D

Let me guess, DC metro area? The snow is nice.
Now to put in my 2 cents: these SETI threads don't belong in the hot deals forum. I didn't complain the first five times that I saw these threads, but it's getting a little old. Obviously the mods are looking the other way.

We have made a lot of advances this month, thanks to all the great new Anandtech members that have joined the team.

We have moved up from the #15 team in the world past IBM, Microsoft, Intel and The Planetary Society to 11th place in the world.

We now have more active members, those who have completed at least one work unit in the past week, than ever before.

We have a much deeper pool of members to help any others who are having trouble with their systems or their seti accounts or any other things they ask about in the DC forum.

If you haven't checked us out yet please do come by and try us out. I know you wont regret it!
Here is the link to the DC Forum, or you can just go there from the normal AnandTech navigation at the top of the page - it's called Distributed Computing.

BTW we are ahead of DSLR in the race, come help us in our decisive victory!

Just for odz: in case you are wondering what the hot deal here is.... it's getting to join up and becoming a WINNER!!!

/now back to your regularly scheduled programming...

what the heck happened to them, it hink 1 of 2 things are happening:

1. They got the plug pulled on a server farm they had running at work....
or

2. They are stockpiling up work units so we relax and then they will dump them on us later and catch us off guard...

Morning bump! :)

We've taken a nice little lead and are moving slowly away...:)

Be a part of this glorious victory...join the TeAm and LET's ROLL! :Q

commdogg, Bandai lost a good portion of his SERVER farm (Bad for SETI in general :(...good for us :D )...so they're regrouping, I think...although Bandai did mention he had some 50 PC's left...but hasn't dumped in several days now....:Q

Afternoon all! :)

DSLR gained 4 new members with over 5000 WU's today....not effective on the RACE, but moves them one step closer to us in the overall race...

We need more members to counteract this...we need YOU!

Evening welcome to all the new members, which have been few today :(

They are growing faster than us again....so the lead could slip away quickly...

Show the AnandTech pride and help us push past DSLR completely!

Also, we've managed to pass IBM, INTEL, MicroSOFT and the Planetary Society to take #11 spot in the world...but the #10 spot is 400,000 WU's away (a bunch)...

So we need your help to get into the top 10...first time in TeAm AnandTech SETI history! :)

Okay, I tried to join a few days ago. Three computers here in this house doing nothing most of the day. I followed the instructions and could absolutely no way get registered. Maybe I'm just STUPID! Got pi$$ed and quit. So if someone would like to tell me how this works, I have three machines with Seti installed, just waiting to tell me how to pitch the effort in the right direction.
