Yes, all work units go to whatever team you are a member of.

This is good and bad! Good for gaining new members, but bad for losing members ;)

Welcome to the team yourself, and hopefully welcome to your brother also :cool:

I can't believe this. Now my work computer blew up. That's 3 PCs within a month of putting SETI on that have died. I'm not sure if this is a coincidence or what.

Yes it is

Let me put that statement into context ,between all the Team Anandtech members there are literally 100's of PCs running SETI ,many 24/7 ,many people (including myself) have been running it for years.I can asure you if SETI caused PCs to blow up then virtually none of us would run it!;).Btw if you don't believe my numbers ,post at the DC forum asking for an estimate of how many PCs SETI is run on:).

Sorry to hear about the dead PC btw:(

BBR is kicking our teeth in now. They are outproducing us...not by many...but they are now bringing on new members with lots of WU's....we have went from 80k plus to 25k minus in the last month or so. :(

I've got 17 PC's at home crunching 24/7 and 8 to 10 at work.....all crunch 24/7. The only things that have died on mine are the fans, which are normal, and one Tyan Dual board (S2460) which has a known defect in the ATX connector (being undersized and burns up) anyway.

Welcome to all the new TeAmmates......and an invitation to the rest of AnandTech to give us, or any of the other great Distributed Computing Projects, a try! :)

See you in DC!

Take a look at Smoke's "Big Movers" thread on Sunday if you want to feel good. Flying up the ranks is an awsome feeling. After awhile, you don't move very much...if at all....and sometimes, its backwards! ;)

(backwards is OK as long as a TeAmmate is kicking the crap out of me and it's nothing with me dropping production! :D)

Well, the AnandTech SETI TeAm is getting it's butt whipped right now. Dasm shame to hold BBR off over 2.5 years and then lose when SETI1 is ending!

Welcome to those who have jumped on board with us....every TeAmmate makes a difference. :)

Another extended hand to the rest of you...:)

Uh, trying to inform NEW people in the DC forum without them going there is difficult. I started DC about 4 years ago from one of these threads. One of the best things I've ever done. This is an OT forum...Off Topic means anything.....doesn't it? It would be like me complaining about the LAN Party thread not being in networking? We represent AnandTech....and would like those who are interested, or potentially interested to take a look at the great fun and competition we have!!!

You have 612 posts and you registered in Jan, 2004!!!? Dasm...bunch of posts. Hope they are not all like the one above. :Q

now....

From BBR:

Quote of the day....

Keep those systems fired up! Let them eat cake! Let's smash those HP acquisition cheaters into a million bits! (due to their blatant theft of Compaq WUs) If TA is up to the challenge, bring it on!

This quote bought and paid for by the BBR. This quote does not relfect the views of this broadcasting station!

Threads get moved from Off Topic ALL the time. I don't understand why the mods are making an exception for this thread. Its bogus. Why does a thread on DVD X Copy get moved to the software forum but this thread doesn't get moved to the DC forum? Major double standard here.

Maybe because THEY, along with Anand, CRUNCH SETI for TeAm AnandTech? Anand Crunches SETI....do you? :Q

(And Yes....Anand does crunch for the TeAm)
