Technical news:

December 8, 2006 - 00:15 UTC
End of the week update. Like always we've had our hands full with behind-the-scenes stuff that usually goes unreported. The new multibeam splitter is close to completed, and will be beta-tested shortly. This means new analysis on hot, fresh data is coming down the pike. The Astropulse project is also making leaps and bounds forward. The data collection down at Arecibo is fully automated at this point. After drives fill up with data the operators get warnings and swap them out with empty ones. When they have enough full drives they ship them up here where they are copied over the internet to HPSS until we are able to turn them into workunits.

Meanwhile, a lot of attention was paid towards the user experience - a department which we've had (and continue to have) zero resources for development. Among other things, users can get reacquainted with their abandoned classic credits with a new form, and we now have a growing bank of volunteers who are giving tech support via internet phone (i.e. Skype).

And finally an addendum to the addendum in the previous tech news item: The Intel donation is in fact a quad dual-core Xeon processor system. Turns out only half the processors were coming on line, but were hyperthreading, making it look like 8 total processors. After some tweaking in the BIOS the system finally recognized the other two processors, so now, with hyperthreading, there are 16 3GHz processors according to the OS.

Appart for Anandtech's stats, it shows how much more/less than Anandtech.
Also shows based on Average Work Done how many days for Anandtech to overtake the team, or be overtaken by a team behind...
