Convince me one way or another to Crack RC5 for Anand....

[Thunderbooty]

Or why I shouldnt.

 

[BoberFett]

If you join the RC5 team you'll have an entirely new group of geeks asking you for pictures.

That Distributed Computing forum can get pretty wild.

 

[Soybomb]

You get super powers when you crack rc5, I can move things with my mind..

 

[BoberFett]

<< I can move things with my mind.. >>

I don't think your bowels count. And that probably has more to do with your high-soy diet.

 

[yakko]

Thunderbooty,

You shouldn't crack RC5. You should crack S.E.T.I. for team Anandtech.

 

[Soybomb]

Lol bober the bowels dont have much to do with being moved at will, thats more of an involuntary thing
Seti=bad........aliens- BAH! hehe
the gorl of the rc5 project will be reached definatley!

 

[DAM]

pictures?




got crack






dam(work is suck)

 

[bigjon]

1. money
2. that sense of power and self-importance
3. keep your computer from getting bored
4. a good excuse to leave your computer(s) on 24/7
5. a good reason to buy more computers
6. a good reason to buy a bigger house to store your computers
7. to make you sound extra-geeky to all your friends (assuming you have non-Anandtech friends)
8. hold on, gotta go get my next hit...

I'm with yakko, if you're gonna donate computer clock cycles, at least give it to something that will actually benefit others: SETI. (let the flame come rolling in).

 

[ratkil]

Everyone is missing the biggest advantage. Start cracking RC5 and Russ will start being your friend......okay, well at least he won't ride you so hard.

 

[Mem]

Where is Paulson he does all this recruiting ,&amp; is nowhere to be found, &quot;Paulson you have a possible RC5 member here &quot;.

 

[Adul]

We can make is very easy for you, and Russ will love you for it. Hell, the entire distributed computing forum will love you for it.

 

[Pretender]

Yeah 'dem hoes in my school always on me because I always be crackin' da RC5 in da house.


Seriously, though, it's mostly just helping out Anandtech (I still don't see how $1000 is going to help a site which is worth millions, but hey, it's the thought that counts I guess), and getting to brag about your computer speed by your RC5 stats.
this is NOT a subliminal message, this is NOT a subliminal message, this is NOT....

 

[Czar]

RC5, a part of team, you can get money out of it, and we will like you more if you do.
SETI, something that will never be finished in our lifetime, RC5 will maybe take the next 4 years or so.

 

[Mem]

LOL..
Paulson do you get time to sleep.

 

[dennilfloss]

If you don't do it, they will nag you to death.

Even I gave up. The setup disks made by Russ are just too easy to use.

RC5 for morons like me

Treehouse (Scoop)

 

[Engineer]

We even have an Off Topic Thread in the Distributed Computing Forum to make you feel at home! For all you speed freaks....Can you outcrack the DPC? Not so far!!! I dare you! ....even DOUBLE DARE!!!

Welcome one and all to Anandtech Distributed Computing...It comes in several flavors and is very affordable....

Go Team Anandtech!

 

[NakaNaka]

<< to make you sound extra-geeky to all your friends (assuming you have non-Anandtech friends) >>



I'm suppossed to have Non-Anand tech friends? Why didn't anyone tell me!!!

 

[dennilfloss]

&quot;We have to put up with you, you may just as well put up with us.&quot;

How does the expression go, &quot;put up or shut up&quot;? I guess that means you indeed have to put up, Blake, because it appears that you can't shut up. (Neither can I.)

Don't worry. As long as my cpu doesn't croak, I'm happy to add its modest contribution to that of all your ubercomputers.

Run &amp; Hide (The Uniques)

 

[Mday]

if you start crackin' you may be a red neck.

anyway, if you do, paulson would start liking you, and you do not want paulson to like you...

 

[GreenBeret]

Paulson!! It's layman's terms. or, the terms of a layman. Geez... your grammar is atrocious.

 

[Pretender]

GreenBeret: I would've made the same mistake, since I've never seen it spelled out , so I guess I'm as bad as Paulson


In regards to the original question, if you don't start cracking, I'm going to have to introduce you to my little friend

 

[vi edit]

Dennil, we just need you to get on your universities campus and assimilate every PC in site

 

[EmperorNero]

<< SETI, something that will never be finished in our lifetime >>



what a stupid thing to say - did you know scientists found bacteria in a martian rock a few years ago? life's out there.

also, I still don't see any significance in cracking numbers - so now someone also convince me why I should switch to rc5 from seti.
