Wooohoooo, Wooohooo! Boogga boogga! Oh maannn, I love that company!!! Booggaaa booggaa! (Now, is there still someone here who wonders why their softwares are so buggy and bloated when you see whose in charge to produce 'hem?)

Woohoo! This time, RBNet is cooked for sure. :mrgrn: Shake in your pants Ars, we are coming and we'll make no prisonners!

Thanks for the explanation Pradeep. I figured it out anyway cause the team's stats only show my username once, although my crunching rate improved slightly, meaning that both my machines were working for a single username. It's good to have a detailed explanation though. Coleus Commandos...

Well, it's...blue. What more can I say?

I desinstalled and re-installed but it didn't change anything. Going through the user info setup gave no result. So far, I completed 14 of the 30 steps to make one gene so once it's completed, we'll see what happens. I hope I won't see my username appear twice in our team listing. Even if...

I didn't think about that, but it's a great point for keeping our name the way it is currently. So, despite that we aren't centered on storage stuff anymore, StorageForum.net is still a good name for us I now believe.

I have a problem when I want to setup the Genome on my second computer. I install the program just fine, but when I start it and I enter my user info, it gives me a new user ID and tells me that there were no previous user info found. I'm sure I enter the same username though : CougTek. Will...

:eekers: Yo? Aren't you past 30 years old? Leave "Yo" to teenagers.

My favorite song from the 60's is without the shadow of a doubt this one : Get your motor runnin' Head out on the highway Lookin' for adventure And whatever comes our way Yeah Darlin' go make it happen Take the world in a love embrace Fire all of your guns at once and Explode into space I...

Stories similar to this one are getting old. Only funny for those who haven't read the twelve previous slightly different versions.

Team Pfeffer is our next target. After that, it's gonna be hunting season beginning for Coleus Commandos! I still haven't configured the Athlon 500MHz for running the Genome@home, because of minor issues with my internet sharing device. It should be up and running soon though. Doug, you're...

Hey, not that I really care about the "canadian" part of our dollar, but it's still not a mexican pesos. Soon, it will, but not yet so keep a little respect for our currency. ;-)

On Win2K, you can also access cmd.exe by going to Start - Programs - Accessories - Command Prompt. That's always the way I use to go to the command prompt. I'm a mouse man more than a keyboard man.

With the very low prices on the Athlon XP these days, the only Duron I'm still using is the 1GHz flavor. For people needing anything more than a 1GHz Duron, I switch to the XP. The Thunderbird as been out of the game for me as soon as the XP came. The Thunderbird produces too much heat for...

Yeah, I know uncle Bill will love it. ;-) But I consider someone upgrading his 1.8GHz Xeon with 2.2GHz Xeon as soon as they come out as someone with too much money to burn.

Ok, I pushed a little bit when I wrote 2 to 3 times. I calculated with the real prices on my list and it's 1.5 to 2 times. Still an unjustified difference.

You can use 2 Athlon XP on an MPX motherboard, but you'll have to link the L5 bridge on them in order to make them work in SMP. Unlike the L1 bridge, you don't have to take special precautions like filling the hole between the two pins with glue to link the L5 bridge, it doesn't matter if you...

Too late, I bought the Enermax. I'll install it this week-end. I hope it'll be good.

James, How is the voltage regulation on the Enermax? I mean, how stable the voltage is compared to other above-average PSUs? I hesitate currently between the same Enermax you mentioned and the Antec PP-352X. The Enermax has a higher advertized MTBF at 100000 OH versus 50000 OH for the Antec...

Thanks, it was a breeze (I like to be congratulated for the work of others - Doug ;-)).

I don't care, I had my two minutes of glory (first to officially reach 1000 units for the team). :P

I would like to, but there's no option in the admin menu to allow me to adjust the text width. Maybe Doug could edit the block from elsewhere, but I have no access to that part of the front page administration. It's weird, but it's the way it is :(

I meant the stats server doesn't show my progress since 3am last night. It's no big deal, but I would have like to capture the screenshot showing me at 1000 units first. It would have been the little joy of my day ;-). I presume that at around 18h00 today (in 10 minutes), the stats server...

It is utterly unfair. For a reason that escapes my understanding, the server of the Genome@home has stopped to accept my units. It is impossible that I haven't shipped anything since 3am last night. I have been in front of my computer for most of the morning and I know I completed at least...

How much do you offer? is always the first question on my list. After that, I follow with : Hi, how are you?

Doug, Is it my eyes or you had 20 Internet Explorer windows opened at the moment you took that screen shot?

Antec PP-352X. It has a very high efficiency (72%) and the dual thermal-controlled fans should make it fairly quiet. I ordered one today and I should receive it thursday or friday. All my Antec PSUs have been good and I don't think this one should be different. I'll let you know how it...

Oh no Mercutio, tell me you don't plan to have an Avatar. Knowing you, I'm sure it will be pornographic. ;-)

Someone must be having quite a lot of fun here. After "The Muppets Take Manhattan", it's "The Sock Puppets take StorageForum".

I determined that, if we continue at the same pace, we will be 102th on June 15th. Not bad hun? But we will probably be even a bit better than 102th because we will certainly improve our total crunching power till then. Only RBNet Genome Research Group and The Carmack will still be in front...

I don't have an avatar currently, but if I ever choose one, I think it would be better if it would be hosted here to save bandwidth. At 6Kb each, I don't think space would be an issue if they would be hosted locally.

Hi, I added a shortcut to the ten most recent news on the top center of the front page in an attempt to make the whole thing more readable. Alas, I don't see how to widen the text in the news' titles, but at least, you should have an idea of the content of the news. I also added a menu (right...

A news hound? I barely post one article a day on average. I'll have to rework the layout of the front page to make the flow of news more readable. Currently, we only see two or three articles without scrolling, that's not very reader-friendly IMO. If we would only show the news' title and...

BTW, does adding RAM helps to increase the speed at which we compute the Genome@home? My guess is that it has very few impact and that our performances are mostly determined by the processor architecture and speed, but I'm not sure. I suspect that our OS can also change slightly the speed at...

I don't have anything stellar for now. My rig is slightly slower than the one of The JoJo. Here it goes : Athlon XP 1500+ o/ced to 1.436GHz Soltek SL-75DRV2 (KT266A) Crucial 256MB DDR SDRAM PC2100 @ 142MHz Maxtor D740X 40GB. I don't think the rest of my system (graphic card, audio card...

I use Mozilla most of the time, but the build 0.9.9 instead of the 0.9.8 since the new build is less buggy and it has been released something like two weeks ago. It's available in the download section of the front page too (for Winblows and OS/2) if you still haven't upgraded. I also seldom...

And there's a grey row just below the black "search" row on the top of the page under Mozilla while there is no such line under both IE and Opera.

Oh and the site logo appears in the center under Mozilla while it is positioned in the left corner under Opera and IE6.

Mozilla doesn't display the right color for the link to the forum and it shows the upper most black row (where the "search" is) larger than most other browsers. I haven't find a way to fix these little bugs.

I don't keep the pace with you. You, however, seem to have decided keep the pace with me. Please don't slow down just to let me lead the team. I don't care for my personal stats, only the team stats count. ;-) Besides, I look like an idiot now with my prediction that I would be dethroned...

Yeah, the industry seems to want to hurry the introduction of DDR400 and completly bypass DDR333. I'm all for it. I'm tired of the small step incrementations that have caracterized the computer market in the last few years. I don't know how much the Athlon is going to benefit from it (with...

I can't comment since I'm biased about your site. My two favorite colors are black and blue so I cannot bash you in any way ;-)

If I can force you to do it, I sure will :P Electricity companies will love us. Tony would probably be the one who could beat us all. As the most important reseller of the forum (to my knowledge), he sure has more computers than anyone else around here. For my part, I only have three...

I will probably be able to add one or two addtional systems next week, maybe even a third one in a month or so. However, these computers aren't very performant compared to yours (an Athlon 500MHz on an AMD751 motherboard and a Thunderbird 1.4GHz on an ECS K7S5A). Still, I might be able to...

It looks like my days as the #1 contributor of team SF are ending. In 36 to 48 hours, StorageForum_net will overtake me like if I was stopped. Oh well, it was good the time it last. We are moving in the right direction though. Teams in front of us must hear something like this. ;-)

Doug, The 125.64U$ they ask for their 60GB Quantum Fireball Plus AS is way to much. 125.64U$ is like ~201$CDN. Well, here I can (as a customer, not as a reseller) buy the same drive (Quantum FB+ AS 60GB) for 163$CDN (~102U$). I'm sure you can find the FB+ for the same price in the US, and...

It's incredible how much people can spend for bragging rights ;-) Someday, Bill, someday, I'll own a system that'll make you jealous.

I put an overshot heatsink because I wanted to push my CPU to its overclocking limits. But my RAM just can't follow so now I have to sustain the noise without benefiting from a very highly clocked processor. Don't worry, I don't put noisy fans in the normal systems I build. I will probably...

My PC is much too noisy to my taste. I'm pretty sure the tower produces around 55dBa when running. Noise control will be one of my main priorities when I'll upgrade. An o/ced Celeron system is so tempting these days... It wouldn't be nearly as fast as my Athlon XP, but so much quieter...
