Attention MJ-12 runners

Hi

From Majestic 12´s forums today!

Great news everybody - the Guardian - big national UK paper published an article about the project! :D

You can read it online here.

Thanks go to Michael Pollitt - the Guardian's journalist who spotted MJ12bot in his log files and followed it up so nicely, I am really happy that this well written article is published in a very nice newspaper that I read almost every day online

Congratulations everybody! This is the community's achievement and we will prevail

Thanks Lagu and thanks to all supporters from AMDusers - the search engine now runs exclusively on AMD processors too!

It is really good to see mass media picking on distributing computing - we all know the future of computing is distributed and what we do now is very much like The First Voyage of Columbus - the land is near! :D

Congrats Alex! Google's days are counted!

But be careful with the mass media effect Alex. Many distributed projects have problems with sudden masses of people joining in. Sometimes the servers can't handle the strain.

Thanks NeoGen - the article is really about all of us, its good that press picks up on distributed computing - maybe it will result in chicks really digging it in a few years :roll:

Sometimes the servers can't handle the strain.

This is true, luckily we have more capacity now than before and even more should appear in a week, hopefully we will be okay.

An excellent article for you, alexc.

I noted

Ideally, I'd like to distribute the search index...A small-scale experiment with one country, perhaps Finland, may happen later this year

Getting the hardware and support in place is quite a challenge.
We are watching with great interest.
When you are ready for a "stress" test, we'll be there for you
...but you already knew that :D

Thanks Dave, just let me get reasonable relevance on the search engine and get a fair few queries to see if patterns allow distribution of index to nodes, well, more like the best way to distribute it, it is certainly possible to a degree, I just don't want to compromise much while doing it
