And so it begins:the second Borg Wave

[dennilfloss]

Going to their regeneration cubicles now are:

TuOni with...

Duron 927MHz

Vinny_N with...

Pentium Pro 200MHz
Celeron 366MHz
Athlon 500MHz
Tbird 850MHz
possible Celeron 550MHz.

Welcome to Team AnandTech. Your contribution means a lot. As for the DPC...

Ils ne passeront pas!

 

[LANMAN]

Denni YOU DA MAN !!

 

[Train]

he cant be stoped! this borg is out of control!

 

[dennilfloss]

Another Borg appears, Playitagainsam with his K6-2 450MHz.

He has a killer look in his eyeplant!

Welcome to Team AnandTech! w00t!

 

[dennilfloss]

Coming to Join us in our just fight is z0ner with:

P3 650@832MHz
P3 450@600MHz
Celeron 566@902MHz



Welcome to Team AnandTech and TA Cube. Time now to kick a little ass, the Borg way.

Woooooooooooooooooooooooo!!! Mooooooooooooooooooooo!!!

 

[Dee67]

Denis, you scare me - the resources you have for this thing would power my entire state

 

[dennilfloss]

But people need to assimilate too. I cannot do it on my own. We need each member to just get one more GHz.

 

[dennilfloss]

Optimus of Borg now joins us with a Celeron 300MHz.

Welcome to the team. Enjoy the ride.

Woooooooooooooooooooooo! Mooooooooooooooooooooo!

 

[dennilfloss]

The new drone ALTOIDS from For Sale/Trade brings his P3 450MHz to our cause and may get a few more machines later.

Welcome to the Team. Your contribution is much appreciated.

Go team Anandtech! Go Borg!

 

[dennilfloss]

The newly implanted edblor proudly carries his Athlon 800MHz to his cubicle.

Way to go! Woooooooooooooooooooo! Moooooooooooooooooo!

 

[dennilfloss]

Dealtarget finds that he likes the smell of Borg latex. He sports an Athlon 700MHz.

Welcome to Team AnandTech and to TA Cube! w00t!

 

[dennilfloss]

SammieC is joining us with an Athlon 750@850MHz. He'll be building a 550 dualie also soon.

Welcome aboard. Hold on to your Borg hat!

Wooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!! Moooooooooooooooooooooo!!!

 

[dennilfloss]

Alocurto just docked in with a dual P2 450MHz.

Welcome to Team AnandTech and to Da Cube!

Wooooooooooooooooooooooo! Mooooooooooooooooooooo!

 

[Soccerman]

wow dennilfloss, you're amazing..

inspiring actually..

one problem, if more people are going to do this like you, we should have a list of people who have been contacted already, so we don't get on anyone's nerves..

 

[dennilfloss]

I have a list but it's on paper because the PM history gets erased periodically. People should emulate my efforts, not strictly copy my method. I am housebound, so I do not meet many people with computers. You guys do and some of you work in places that have them. I think that a common list would be very hard to keep up to date. Plus that would reveal all the people who declined and I'm not willing to do so. People have the right not to join our effort for whatever reason is important to them. I will not have people ostracized because they said no.

 

[dennilfloss]

Forgot to mention...

DoubleN is ass laminated now. He brings us:

Pentium 133MHz
2 Pentium MMX 166MHz
Pentium 200MHz
K6-3 450MHz
Duron 970MHz.

Welcome to Team AnandTech and TA Cube. Your contribution is much appreciated.

Go Team AnandTech!!! Go Borg!!!

Woooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!! Mooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!

 

[dennilfloss]

Roll the drums. NicColt arrives, bringing:

P2 300MHz
3 P3 600MHz
Duron 900MHz.

Way to go! Woooooooooooooooooooooooo! Moooooooooooooooooooooooo!

 

[Mem]

LOL..I`m still freelance on my own out there cracking RC5 for Anandtech.

 

[dennilfloss]

You're cracking for Team AnandTech! Nothing else matters. Keep up the good work!

 

[Soccerman]

you know, soooo many people out there have multiple machines running rc5, and here I am piddling along on my only computer, a K6-2 400!

 

[Michael]

Soccerman - But you post recruiting threads and try and help the team. Plus, every block counts and everyone is not going to have a ton of computers. If bunches more like you joined with just one PC each and a desire to get others to join, the DPC would be toast (as would all the SETI teams above us as well).

Michael

 

[DanC]

Prophetic words Michael...

Do you know even one person, who knows one person, who knows one person (you get the point)

For the sake of argument lets say we have 700 active people.
In one week - all 700 get one person to join TA. We now have 1400
In the next week all 1400 get one person. We now have 2800

Two weeks to trounce the DPC. The real answer should be plenty obvious. The question is... how many of those 700 can we reach, and how many would follow through? - If this is truly a team, then no one can stop us. What'll it be?

 

[dennilfloss]

I only have one PC at home. A measly Celeron 500. That did not stop me from recruiting. I started with just one person.

And now, the newest Borg, bigcfromcinci walks in softly, carrying a big 1GHz Tbird and says:" Hio pilgrim! Where are them DPC rascals?"

Welcome to the team. We appreciate your help.

 

[dennilfloss]

Hey! With news like this you are always welcome in my threads!

Welcome to the team. That is a lot of firepower and it will help us a great deal. Maybe more will follow your example too. Wanna be an Integral and have a cool Borg page to display your substantial herd? You could still follow your stats by flushing through Mika's proxy and you could help TA Cube kick bigger DPC ass and rise faster in the world rankings (currently #40).

WE LOVE YOU, MAN!!!

 

[dennilfloss]

You have 30 days to think about joining any miniteam and no one will bear you any ill if you decide to go it alone or choose another miniteam. I definitely won't as your block are going to Team AnandTech anyway. The reason I mentioned TA Cube is that we are now entering the top40 spacemeanies club and climbing even one position will now require a lot of firepower. The Borg want your technology to add it to our distinctiveness and...kick...ass.

Congratulations on your herd being even more impressive. Just make sure that you have permission for all those machines. That is paramount.
