Preserved Topic: woohoo! Six figures..

Party time! Third person in the history of the Asylum to break the six figure mark.

Yum, crunchy!

Whoo! That is cool, those are a *lot* of keys! Is that one super machine, or do you have several crunching away? (Hmm, gota go fix my old work mnachine, that dual-processor machine crashes too often, hrmph.)

Your pal, -doc-

Just my Mac.

Hah! I love it, my machine at work that kicks such ass is a Mac, too, G4/500 dual-processor, I love that machine (sometimes). My mac at home, an older G4/450 single does better than all our PC's still, go figger. (Hmm, remembers to turn that one back on, I usually do too much work for extra applications to live long there, even with 512MB ram, heh.)

Your pal, -doc-

What is this all about? I went there but still not able to figure out yet? hint...

Rikimaru - Doc, Cyoung and a few other people, are running application from Distributed.net which tries to crack RC5 encryption by checking various key blocks... And since this will put a lot of pressure on your CPU, it's best way to see how fast your CPU is (especially FPU unit)...

Yah, I like these things, how else can you tell if your computer is malfunctioning or no? I was at www.shockplay.com yesterday, they're the guys who made that flash ping-pong game, and they had another one, did a bunch of graphical tests in flash and then rated your system based on the times, nice benchmark, I thought.

Oh. I probably should have linked to this page instead. Anyway, I've finally crunched over 100,000 RC5 "blocks".. which represents a lot of cpu time. But the number of keys tested is the really big number.. hehe.. what comes after a billion anyway? Trillion? Jillion? Gazillion?

But I'm only #3. Doc and Piper are both closing on 300,000 blocks. <cough>Doc, ya might wanna fire that Mac up again. </cough>

Enough of this dry cpu stuff..

~Helps everyone into party hats. Snaps Rikimarus rubber band. Here, drink some of this punch.. don't eat too many of those shrooms though. ~

BTW I try to register at School and at home...both places had the same error " Can't find E-mail adress" it's because of computer network system setting?
