You belong to the group named: Team Ars Technica Lamb Chop

Your rank out of 4950773 total users is: 1,297,868th place.

The number of users who have this rank: 12,109

You have completed more work units than 73.540% of our users.

hey, check out www.teamlambchop.com. it's the website for the SETI@home team I'm in. there's a lot of tips to make SETI@home run faster and better, and a good help forum. some of those guys have been onboard since the beginning of SETI@Home.

for some reason your handle seems familar. are you in the top SETI@home users list by any chance?

Not that I know of? Maybe I'm famous and I don't know it!

Yeah I run the command line app instead of the GUI screensaver app which is really slow. I also saved half an hour by using my W2K instead of my W98se to process, W2K is much more efficient in using clock cycles. When I first started I ran the screensaver on W98se and it took me 9 hrs. 15 min. Now with the commandline app and W2K I do a WU in 5 hrs. 40 min. I'm doing just over 2 WU's a day.

thanks Jim!
great link!
They said if your PC finds the signal you are famous forever

 

[holy_saiyan1]

how is that you guys've both made my number-crunching look like i started yesterday, and i'm ranked ahead of both of you? or is having a high rank bad?? lol.
I use SETIspy as a front-end and just run the GUI minimized... currently, my processor speed is ranked as slightly better than a SPARC (a moral victory) I'm going to see if the command-line program runs any better . isn't it neat how there's like 5 billion teams all competing to do the most work that could possibly change humanity's outlook on the universe?

*Go Team Lamb Chop! Beat SETI@Germany, We were #1 Way before you were! lol*

nice thing is, with a slow SETI@home, you can plan on when you'll need to be connected (about every 2 days, give or take 4 hours). you'd almost need to have a constant Internet connection if it was returning results every 4 hours

have either of you read the article about what an alien signal would look like on SETI@home? I have the link if you'd like

 

[Izme]

LOL
I started SETI fairly recently (fast PC)

very cool about the 5 million teams competing

Is there already a TSG SETI@home team? does anyone know? cuz if there isn't, i think i might want to make one.

 

[pyritechips]

There isn't as far as I know. But if you make one I couldn't join because I already belong to a group sorry!
