ehh, I made 1.3 million, I just left it on and forgot about it. Last night I noticed that my comp was stuttering (never happens I run linux) and remembered that it was still running. I was going to cap the image, but I couldn't find this thread. I figured that it had been deleted or something so I didn't bother.

Now, I just watched it turn over to 1,400,000. Yay.

Betcha it doesn't go to a billion. Doesn't look like there's room for another digit? But what do I know.

At approx. one million per 25 hours, should hit a billion in 220 more hours, or next Wednesday. Allowing for no power glitches, etc.


ehh???? one million in 25 hours = one billion in about 1000 days!!! I hope your computer is stable enough to run for 3 years straight!!

I just want to see what happens at 10 mil. It doesn't look like there is enough space for the extra digit.

Oh yeah.. 1,547,000 +/-

I propose a distributed computing project to get this thing to 1 billion and beyond. Definitely a worthwhile usage of CPU time.

That, or a way of accelerating the thank-you-ing to use as much CPU as possible, as it only used about 10-15% on my XP2400.

Computer went off during storm this afternoon, just long enough to restart.

Thank goodness.

I was sick of the sounds, even though I had that computer sound turned off. every so often someone would turn it on to see what it sounded like.

1,600,000ish when it departed.

No, I'm not starting it up again.

The counter is totally inaccurate.

When they stop to breath the counter is still going
