h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

I left a message on some SETI page somewhere or other on hootoo. It is so obscure, I don't think you've found it yet.

I am curious to know how you've crunched so many units? The day I joined, just over a week ago, we were both on zero. The next time I looked you had cranked up double figures, then 3.

So how many PC's have you wired up? It must be enough to run and entire small country on!

I think you may have me confused with the great Captain Kebab! If you look at the top of the table I'm there as number 21, soon to be 20 .

I've got two machines crunching units - a 1.8GHz p4 that runs during the day and a 350MHz p3 that runs all the time.

Nope,you were definitely on 127 on Sunday before last, I was 129. H noticed it as well. But perhaps it was just a glitch.

I've got 5 machines running, but only two are on for 9 or so hours purely number crunching. A third will be added as soon as someone runs to some more CAT5.

The house is rapidly becoming one huge EM field No2 son's PC sounds like a washing machine on full spin when it is running, he has 3 fans in it and it crunches 2 units a day whilst he is at w*rk but I've lost track of its current speed as he has overclocked it.

vary interstink indeed. Weird. Back on track now though. So am I to assume that you'll be whizzing past us all very soon?

I'm about to invest in a meaty laptop soon which will push my results in a bit quicker. My 1.8GHz machine crunches a unit in 7 hours but I don't have it running all the time because of the noise.

Liam.

Well, I'm not sure about the whizzing bit, but I'm doing my best to reduce the 100 years projection for tracking the sources of the most promising signals.

After all, if the are coming I want to be sure I know when to expect them to drop by for and
