Yes, exactly. The second half is because I was running Chessbrain a lot.
:)

I have many Linux versions installed in spare partitions on various machines. I have Suse, FC3, Mandrake, Knoppix, and Slackware in a running state. They all seem ok, but I always end up using only...

It's been down for a couple weeks or more. Since the CB forums don't exist any more, we can't find out any information without emailing cjus or somebody.

In order to keep Grub running I have to reboot the machines 3 times a day. I have 4 old machines that are too slow for most things (P120 to P166). I put a fresh install of Win98 on those and run...

I've been too cheap to get anything like those, but I can vouch for the fact that heat pipes conduct heat much better than solid metal.

Also I notice that they actually list the heat resistance in...

I have two 20-amp circuits in the basement that serve only computers, and one of them tripped. It turns out that I had about 3/4 of the load on one line.

That's a lot of KW's being burned up on...

The case fan *must* be an exhaust fan, and therefore must be at the rear of the case. If you use an intake fan, that will destroy the negative pressure in the case, which in turn destroys CD drives....

In my computer lifetime, I've had 3 hard drives fail. 2 were Maxtor, and 1 was a Hitachi laptop drive. I have one Quantum, which has been running for around a decade. By the way, Maxtor *is*...

Another thing to possibly mention is Intel's *FAKE* clock speeds. For example, my Dell P4 desktop at work, running at 2.8 Ghz, has identical performance to my AMD 1800+ homebuilt things at home. My...

It's a mystery to me. Ever since I've been doing CB, it seems that occasionally a user will disappear and re-appear, or a user gets a huge bump, which later gets corrected.

It does appear that a...

His score for yesterday is the same as his total so I guess he just joined and his total score just came over to amd users.

The WU is described as: p638_L939_K12M_ext Run: 50 (Clone 16, Gen 41)

The reason it took 11 days is it was running on a Athlon 1050 Mhz, and the machine was also running 2 other processes (SOB...

I just lost a 5,000,000-step, 11-day WU because I wanted to take one machine off F@H without getting assigned a new WU. I was stopping and starting, trying to get stopped at the right place, and all...

Also check the MB with a magnifier in the vicinity of the heat sink attachment points. There might be some screwdriver injuries there. I've salvaged 3 or 4 used MB's by repairing traces in that...

Maybe it's dead, but here's a couple long shots.

If the AGP video card isn't seated all the way it won't boot, and this has a tendency to happen. Also some motherboards flex enough so even with...

Here's my Grand Unified Theory about those anomolies. This theory has the advantage that it can't be disproved because it's too late.

Rigel was off-line overnight because of the burned out power...

Whoops, I meant to put this link in the previous post:

There's something a little imperfect with the stats on the SOB site. For days it had me flat at 3.2/sec even though I was producing around 5 or 6 /sec. I'm still doing around 5-6 per sec. The plot...

Empty, I have one central machine that serves as firewall, router, dhcp server, and dns server. The firewall is implemented with iptables. The client boxes have nothing in the way of malware...

Hmm... I must have been taunting fate. Just after I posted that comment, I smelled smoke. It was Rigel - scratch one computer :cry:

OK, U asked for it... here goes... I'm doing SOB. Well till morning anyway.

I have SOB running on 22 machines if you count the K6's. All but 2 stay up all the time unless they crash. I had 2 of them crash during the weekend. My laptop (from work) I take home each night &...

That's really weird -- there seem to be equal number of big (+) and (-) jumps. I wonder why the plot on the SOB site is perfectly smooth. I presume that both the (+) and (-) jumps are erroneous,...

Empty, I didn't quite understand your question. When I look at the plot, it looks normal to me. There are small variations corresponding to when I add or subtract a machine running SOB. The first...

72CJ5,
Hey, welcome!!
Of the 7 projects in the current contest, all but grub & whatpulse run in linux. The grub linux client won't compile, and the whatpulse linux client doesn't work.
