Target Aquired: MyCroft

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.😀
 
Go get 'em ViRGE! 😀

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😉)

[Thinking to self] Must not make joke of Ray or ViGRE....must not make joke......MUST MAKE JOKE!!!! [/Thinking to self]
 
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.
 
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.
