OGR - I'd rather do SETI

[DanC]

Making OGR the default priority on the client sucks...
Too bad there isn't somewhere I can bitch at distributed for stealing our blocks for that useless crap.
OK so I'm venting. It still pisses me off.
We've got a lot of machines to update now.
distributed... bite me!

Didn't you know? You are doing SETI!

At least that's my opinion... http://forums.anandtech.com/arcmessageview.cfm?catid=39&threadid=131463:

<< It seems to me the best way to find aliens is to put a big telescope in orbit that can see alien planets (or at least their spectra to determine if they have earth-like atmospheres.) The only way to put that size of telescope in space is to make an interferometer of several smaller scopes.

It also happens that an optimal interferometer is spaced like an optimal golomb ruler. So I guess that means the best way to do SETI at home is to do OGR!

Just my 7 cents, 5 of them possibly wooden. >>

Nope - I'll be doing nothing. I'm really pissed about this.

Don't leave on my account! :Q I was just making a silly joke!

Ken_g6,

What you have to understand is that the labs that are under Two's control will need to be reconfigured by VERY expensive Network Engineers. He just got back from vacation to find this situation.

...and he's in a nasty mood anyway.
I'll probably fire somebody monday just to make me feel better.
or maybe frag a couple of hundred people on UT

arrrrgh!

DanC, this is one reason why you should use a pproxy on the labs(if you allready don't). You can manually tweak the pproxy to tell the clients OGR is closed, so they'd stop on their next update.

Heheh DanC.....Like your style

Is there a bot in UT that looks like an OGRe?
