Mega Flush?

[GreatWhiteNorth]

Is it me or does it seem like DPC are saving up blocks again for
another Mega Flush. I presume it is for New Years. What if they are
saving up enough blocks to over take us? I dread the thought.

Saying that I am out trying to dig up some interest with some folks
in the Wall Street area. Supposedly they will get some machines cracking at night. I guess if they feel comfortable with it, this
could end up being a large amount of power for a few hours a day.
A clock cycle is a clock cycle and I will get ever last one I can.
The tricky part will be getting them to actually join a team.
Any suggestions on how to convince them to join a team they are
not familiar with?

This is nothing compared to Dennilfloss incrediable work but I am
trying and have not given up! Let's see how long /. can keep em at bay. Just itching to see tonight's stats.

There won't be a MegaFlush dnet doesn't like it.
So we promissed not to do it again.
But ofcourse it is possible that some teams are having a newyearsflush.

So just wait and find out

OVERTAKE?

With dignity?
With the certain knowledge that every machine was assimilated with permission?

No hidden clients? No hacks? No worms?

Give me a break.

Assimilate.
anything else is to admit defeat. Doing it by the rules doesn't always mean first place. It does however... always mean honor.

 

[NotEasyBeingHappy]

DanC, there you go again. Accusing us of not playing fair. All the DPC-members I know play fair. They assimilate only with the permission of the owner/sys.opp of the computer.

Great White North, Get them familiar with Team Anandtech. You could start with the website and/or the formus. Also point them at the Anandtech.com website. Wall Street types will appreciate the quality analysis done by Ananad and his staff.

 

[GreatWhiteNorth]

Well as of today one person said they got two machines running *with*
permission. They are going to see if there are any complaints about
performace hits and such. If there are none he may have the
go ahead to hit more desktops.

<keeping fingers crossed>

 

[DanC]

NotEasy.....

I made no specific accusation. The statement was rhetorical. On the other hand you seem a tad bit defensive.

Doth you protest too much? (with apologies to the Bard)

 

[GreatWhiteNorth]

DanC,

Stop with the appologizing. Next thing I know we are going to send
flowers to DPC if they make it to number one.

[DanC]

GWN - The apology was to the &quot;Bard&quot; - William Shakespeare.

The quote was &quot;Methinks he doth protest too much&quot;... I took some literary license.

 

[GreatWhiteNorth]

Great... now I have to appologize! =)

-GWN

 

[DanC]

Not necessary. I have a wry sense of humor - and lean a tad bit sarcastic. It's easy to miss it when I come off with some obscure whack.

 

[GreatWhiteNorth]

Ha! Now you are trying to convince us that you are in an intellectual?

-GWN

 

[JHutch]

You don't have to be intellectual to know Shakespeare... Just a penchant for re-reading the same passage 17 times until you &quot;understand&quot; what the heck the guy is trying to say.

- To crack or not to crack?
- That is the question.
- For whether 'tis nobler in the mind
- To suffer the slings and arrows (of the DPC trolls)
- Or rise up against a sea of troubles
- And by opposing, end them (and keep number 1 spot)

PS Apologies to the Bard and to Dr. Giese (my college Shakespeare prof) for taking the Bard's words in vain.

 

[DanC]

LMAO... Now THAT's funny.
Thanks for starting my day with a smile JHutch!~

 

[GreatWhiteNorth]

Okay, I now know what he meant. Thanks for the clarification.

>- And by opposing, end them (and keep number 1 spot)

I am all for that! Got permission to run a bunch of servers over the weekend since noone will be using them. It is only temporary but every block counts. Maybe I will forget to remove it and see if they notice. =)
