I mean an all out balls to the wall assualt and for as long as it takes to end that project. I see us pull in every favor owed to any of us in the DC community and and everyone we know that has a computer.
That's a LOT of effort to go through, just to LOSE You may not have noticed, but our production continues to increase, with a current time-to-overtake of ~3 days. That'll be another ~300 points in the DC-Vault, probably before the end of the week.
We left PI because the objective of that project had been met. The project was an advertisement for the Chinese people. There was no scientific value in it, (who cares if the 2 quadrillionth bit of Pi is a 1 or a 0) so to be realistic about it was a huge waste of cycles. But, the race was alot of fun.
On this, I COMPLETELY agree. That project was selected for it's political neutrality, and for the fact that it's not something that's being actively worked elsewhere (there SURE seem to be a lot of Protein and Prime projects about). It was also something with a specific end-point (now with plans of moving that end-point). Because of this, it almost HAD to be scientificly worthless.

BTW, I don't expect that any significant number of Ars people will follow you here. You should be safe from us ... for a while
