School Assimilation on hault...

[TheyCallMeSAK]

I've been talking to the lab admin, and im not quite there yet. I've given him some info and talked a bit, but it might take a lil more. Anyone have any ideas?

Assimilation: 30 P3-450s, 80 Celery~500s, and some pentiums 🙂.

Also, i hate the idea, but one of the teachers is trying to get a bunch of G4s for graphics deisgn. Don't ask me why!! But still, if we get them, i will assimilate them. Just need to get these other ones done first!!!

Threats work, but nothing beats whining... 🙂

Installing the client @ schools is going to be the way to beat the DPCs..

Those G4s would be NICE!

Is there anything thats hanging your teacher up about the idea?

time to revert to "old school" TA assimilation tactics!

tell them free beer, chicks and hot tubs for TA members once they hit an "Undisclosed" amount of blocks submitted


That always works

SAK,

OB brings up a good point. What are the specific objections you're getting? maybe we could give you some ammunition. BTW, don't hate the idea; G4's kick the crap out of everything in RC5.

Wasn't someone around here having problems with heat and the G4's in RC5? I don't remember his name but didn't he have to shut down the clients because of it?

He probably didn't have a/c and it was in the middle of summer. That'll do it..

"G4's kick the crap out of everything in RC5." - Especially the G4 500 dualie at 8.94Mkeys/sec.
With only ten of those machines you would have a key rate of 90Mkeys/sec. Boggles my mind - 🙂

G4's can go dual now????? i didnt think they were SMP capable yet

and yes, Macs get HOT when utilized 100% make sure to keep them well ventilated and air-conditioned!

 

[Engineer]

That was ZapZilla that lost the 125 Macs from his schools lab...Too much trouble for him...

But I'm not sure if they were G4 macs (I don't think so!) or not!!!

Damn, SAK, that's about 150MKeys/s you're sitting...excluding the Pentiums and G4s

 

[dawks]

G4's ROCK!
And there is some PCI card that can handle 4 G4 CPU's.. Someone remember the URL?? It was posted a few days back... Imagine the keyrate with that... **Drooooooool** 😛

Someone oughta just program a DSP for RC5 cracking and sell it...I'm sure it'll be a hot item here 🙂
