Target Aquired: MyCroft

[ViRGE]

Well, when I looked at my stats today, I noticed who the fellow above me was, MyCroft. For those that don't know who MyCroft is, he's SlashDot's "secret" weapon. He works at a large corperation that designs supercomputers I believe(JonB knows for sure, and even has a picture), and as such, has access to a lot of power from time to time. Usually, this guy can output 300K blocks/day when he's cracking(And this is legal; none of those phony trojan powered guys that appear from time to time), and was what kept us from quickly overtaking SlashDot for quite a long while. A few people have already passed the guy(The Borg, JonB himself, ect), but any time we can add someone to that list, it puts a smile on this old-timer's face(We're on good terms with MyCroft BTW, it's just a friendly rivalry). So, watchout MyCroft, you'll soon be eating the dust of the guy that was only doing 100 blocks a day when you tried to take over the world.

I remember Mycroft. I think I still have a pic around here of part of his work "herd". How long before you pass him?

Ray: If my rate keeps up, I figure I can pass him in 5-6 days.
Mech: Thanks, but I'm at the retirement limit already(and no, no retirement jokes, those are ment for Ray)

Woot! I've managed to blow right past him. Thanks for setting the benchmark, Mycroft. Oh, and Bphantom gave me a link to the picture I mentioned: http://www.iodbbs.com/mycroft.jpg. In it is Mycroft, and his racks; the picture is about 2 years old I believe.

Congrats, ViRGE!

Yep, that's the same photo I have!

I haven't spoken with Mycroft in a while, but my original of that picture is dated 11/22/1999, so there's no telling what kind of toys he has at his disposal now.

Instead of 3U racks, he probably has moved to 2U or even 1U. With dual processors.
