....When you get up in the middle of the night to urgently use the restroom, yet you stop by the PC on the way and check your stats.....

....When you threaten your children with a week's grounding if they turn of the computer one more time.....

....When the first thing you do in the morning is come here to see if the stats posts for today are there yet, and you hope to be the first one to post....

😀
 
...When you feel like a family member is in a coma when the SETI@Home server is down
...When you feel like a family member died (at your own hands) upon realizing that you forgot to backup your SETI cache before formatting
...When you experience extreme anxiety when you wander into a forum that isn't Distrubuted Computing
 
... when you check this forum more than once a day! 😛 😀


Guilty, Guilty, Guilty, Guilty ... Guilty every dang one of you!

:beer: I'll drink to that!

 
- When your wife complains about too many PC's in the house/garage and she says you spend more damn time with them then her. So you sell your wife and buy dually!
 
-You cry when you realize that you forgot to turn on SETI before leaving for vacation...


My favorite...

...When you are the last to go to bed and the first to wake in the morning to make sure you dont get caught running all of the computers all night long.

...When you only defrag you computers once a month.

...When you stop using you computer for pleasure (games)🙁 <<<worst part
 
... you're using more time downloading wu than other net-activities...
... you're trying to help someone with a cruncher-problem at 03:00 instead of going to bed...






 
When it's 42c in your room and think it's not that bad...

When your always thinking about a switch or router to be added.

When you use more bandwidth for crunching than you do for por I mean games

When you don't heat your house in the winter.
 
Heh.... I remember several of htese threads


When you run your own setiQ so you can get the instant stats on your network of seti crunchers

When you keep selling off the older mobo's & cpu's to buy the newer faster cpu's & mobo's just so you can crunch more seti WU's

When you run TeAm AnandTech Seti Stats on your own internet web server so you can watch your climb up the team stats [/me up to #85 now 😉]

When you check your SETI@home Class page every Sunday morning to see if you moved up [/me up to #60 now 😉]

When you keep telling the family how much better the computers run when they turn off the monitors, besides it saves all that electricity and keeps the room cooler!!!

When you have a big list of seti bookmarks in your browser's "Favorites" and you visit them at least once a day 😀
 
Here's one you guys never posted...

When you face 120 years for running DC

... and no one better never ever have to post something like that ever again.

Amen
