You know you're an RC5 "crackhead" when...

[GT1999]

1) Rather than going to bed at your normal time, you decide to stay up into the early morning hours, just so you can check your stats.

Add yours

 

[MWalkden]

You name your team 'RC5CRACKHEADS', (nuff said!)

 

[RaySun2Be]

When you pop in to check the distributed forum an hour before your wedding! And check back 18 hours later!

 

[ViRGE]

When you reply to a "You know you're a crackhead when..." thread.

 

[RC]

You are approached on a street corner by someone asking you if you want some crack and you respond by handing them a floppy diskette.

 

[BurntKooshie]

you post an hour before getting married

[EDIT} darnit, ray already said that....

 

[SpaceWalker]

your electric bill keeps going up every month because you added another computer to your home herd.....

And you still can't figure out why your wife is complaining....





hey.....I still have room in the corner for another one....



MOOOOOOOOOOOOOooooooooooooooooooo..........

 

[Train]

you try to devise complex mathematical algorithms to figure out when the exact time will be when we pass /. or just to give yourself more to do while waiting for the next stats run to finish.

 

[NesuD]

when you forget to mention that $2000 dollar profit sharing check to your wife just so you can do some upgrades to increase your keyrate. Uhh lets just keep that among us crackheads ok. She would kill me if she ever found out.

 

[Phooey]

This thread had to have been inspired by the slow stats run on Sunday night.

My addition...

When you are leaving for vacation and you check three times to make sure all your machines have enough "grass" to munch on while you are gone.

[Possessed Freak]

When you try to justify the computer you purchased by saying everyone needs quad xeons for a print server.

 

[BGod]

When you devise a way to run a Cat5 Plenum network cable through the sewer system to a house across the street, keeping it under 300' so you can still run 100baseTX between the network hubs, just to get another machine cracking RC5-64.

P.S. Good one PF!

 

[RaySun2Be]

Your wife/Sig. Other thinks you are checking out porn sites because of the strange noises you're making, but when she walks by, you are staring at crack rack pics!

 

[mikepeck]

When you explain to a computer newbie what that little cow is doing on their computer and spend hours convincing them it is a good thing.

 

[Lord Demios]

When you convince the law firm you run the network for, that Cracking RC5 really isn't illegal. And that the little cow is a good thing.

LD

PS no this has nothing to do with me and the law firm I run a network for. Really it doesn't.

 

[TOOCOOL]

When you make a new set of rules for the familys computer use (shut that game down as soon as you finish!)

 

[dawks]

Hahaha Ray!!! LOL!

 

[Wellcky]

When you get excited over an Apple II E you found over at grannies house.

 

[SYST3M]

when all your friends think you are an 31337 h4><0r and spend hours trying to convince them that little cow really won't get them in any trouble...

 

[Proxy71]

When you break off a 20 year friendship because your friend refuses to run the cow-program

 

[Dantoo]

Proxy71

You discover that there is a novel called &quot;Beowulf&quot; and then are shocked :Q to discover it has nothing to do with distributed computing:|

 

[PeterN]

you give up smoking, not because it's bad for your health but to save the money (that would otherwise be going up in smoke) to enlarge your keyrate.

 

[KifArU]

you have the Team Anandtech stats page as a wallpaper in windows.

Thijs

 

[Slapstick]

When you curse UPS for taking the Holiday off because your new parts are just sitting in a warehouse in Chicago instead of being put to good use cracking keys.

 

[XNice]

When the new system you built for the kids, cant be used by them because its too busy doin keystrokes. &quot;Daddy, I wanna play Barney!&quot; &quot;Just look at the little cow and shut up.&quot;
