Possible big assimilation soon...

I was thinking a little while ago about all the computers we have sitting around at my school... Not great ones, C300s, PII400s, C600s, the best are probably about PIII800s or so, but there's a lot of them, close to 300, all sorts of speeds sitting on and unused almost all of the time... So's I says to myself, I says "These would be great for SETI"... So, I started trying to figure out how I was going to get permission to assimilate them... And it looks like I've found a way... A buddy of mine is in a lot of computer courses and stuff, and knows some of the tech people pretty well, he's helped me along with this, so far, approval has been good, I just need the approval of the head honcho of the computer department, and voila, a whole junkload of WUs every day for me and the TeAm... I'm thinking it should probably get about 300 WUs per day, not too shabby if you ask me

LOL
I have no dout the school would let you do it if you put it to them in a way that makes it sound like it's for science. Other schools are participating in the project. You might be on to something there. Good Job!

Hopefully you can arrange for your ID to be in these computers. AFTERBURNER could use the boost - at least until October 31.

you could almost race cobra!

my school used to have some labs doing it but the higher ups got pissy. sorta a shame cuz we have lots of labs. back when i was on the school's team we coulda been second ranked school had the CS department and chemistry department joined up with the all UT-Austin group. ah well, TA has so many more units.

I'm glad you aren't still on Team Canada!

What OS do the computers run? A service installation would be optimal here.
