Final Update....

TeAm AnandTech, thanks to all your help, has taken a nice lead in the race and seems to be cruising to a big win. We do, however, have several other goals.

One of the goals is to move into the top 10 in the world...and that's a tough one...without your help, that is. Join the TeAm and help push us into the top 10 and beyond! :)

The Second...is to pass DSLR not only for the race...but in membership as well! :) We've cut their membership lead from 469 at the start of the race down to 80! :D yes....we need more..more..more...we want more TeAmmates at the end of the race (Feb 28th) than they have....will you help?


First...welcome to all those who have joined! :D

DSLR now has two big guns....they have the power of about 700 PC's between them...and the potential for more... the only way to overcome them is to have more members that make the difference..and we can't even claim that...as they have almost 300 more members than we do...1662 vs 1949....so that's why we need your help.

Please read the posts below and help..You'll find a great group of TeAm members and a great forum in the DC forum to make friends and have fun...come on..join up and let the fun begin! :D We look forward to welcoming YOU to the TeAm! :D

TeAm AnandTech Easy to Install SETI guide...please use the CLI version install :)

Update: Quotes from DSLR members and what they think of AnandTech and our (YOUR) TeAm:

Team AnandTech is good during a challenge, but the difference between TA and DSLR Team Starfire is persistence. Starfire doesn't slack off after a challenge. We maintain our increased production. TA will fall asleep again, within a few weeks of the finish and we'll cut their lead and pass them.

and

Don't get upset at the amount of time the TA guys spend here. Since you've visited their site and read their threads, you should understand why they prefer to spend most of their time here. Let them enjoy themselves for a change. It's soooooo boring over there. >>

Read these and see what kind of respect AnandTech receives...


Started a new thread as the old one was large and potentially hard to read by all....

Thanks to all who have joined and a warm welcome as well...but we need more....

DSLR has their big producer back (about the power of 700 PC's or so)...and he's helping them pull away. Can the AnandTech faithful...with all the members...and all the PC's let this happen.....

I hope not! :Q Please Join..

***Notice to all those who have joined and are using the CLI and SETIDriver....Please make sure to add the shortcut to the STARTUP folder to insure that it will RESTART if your PC is restarted**


Previous thread info...

Hello all.....

It's that time again....we have been challenged to a new race with DSL Team Starfire...

The last race was a great growing experience for both teams but was ended just short of completion because of the sad day of September 11th.

Since then though, team DSL Starfire has outgrown and outproduced us considerably.....now it's our turn!!! :Q:Q:Q

A new race has started and we need your support.....all it takes is a few extra cpu cycles...just a few. The clients use spare CPU cycles in the search for signals and other signs from space for intelligent life or anomolies. They are easy to use, have little (mostly NO) impact on your system (even in benchmarks) and also help science too :)

Come on over to the DC forum and see what TeAm AnandTech is all about...you'll be glad you did!!! :D

Race Rules thread! :)

Race Start Thread (with stats links)

What team DSL Team Starfire thinks of AnandTech! :Q

TeAm Welcome thread with client information and setup links :)

Come on guys...put that new PC to work....support this great site and a great TeAm...

Team AnandTech needs your help.......please answer the call and defeat the DSL team...you'll be glad you did! :D

Team AnandTech Strikes back! :Q Buwhahahaha!

Race stats.....click me!

Well, it's been a bad day...as the French team is pulling away (at #10) and DSLR is moving up in membership....and we're not! :(

Come on...there's plenty of time left...and we would love to have you all for the duration...not only the race.

Check us out...you'll be suprised! :D

Ok, a challenge.

Anyone who reads this who is not already a member of the SETI TeAm, I challenge you to simply click here and follow the steps and crunch just one WU. Then, if it wasn't so bad, try another and then another. When you get to 10 ask yourself, is this kinda cool? If so, keep on crunching, hitting those milestones and enjoying the fun of Team Anandtech SETI in the race against DSLR and the hunt to catch Hardware France!

Give it a shot! What have you to lose??

User: Oh wow! Thanks!

I hope you all believe when I type this, 'cuz it's the truth, of course!

I REEEEEEAAAALLY wanna help you guys pull ahead of Team FarStire, but I have 2 reservations:

1.) One guy where I work is French. He's already got SETI on 4 of sys. over here (maybe more!)

Unfortunately: a.) I don't know if he's on a team or not. & b.) If he's not, how can I harness the power of those comp. sys. to help TA, since there has to be a username & password, right?


2.) I read an article once where some guy installed SETI on a bunch of sys. @ his univ. (don't remember which Univ.). Anyways, years after he had quit the univ. sued him for lost bandwith AND WON! Now his ass is all payin' hella-ca$h & $#!t, & I'm afraid that's probably gonna happen to me!

PHD, first and foremost, when looking to run SETI on a university's or a company's computers, OBTAIN PERMISSION from those in charge!

Once that's acheived, all you have to do is follow these steps. That will setup an account that will log results to the TeAm. If an account is already setup, start with step 13a and go from there to add that email address to the TeAm's stats (this will require you to work with your co-worker to join the TeAm).

Good luck!
