Re: You know you've Boinc'ed too much
So let me put to you like this. If you hadn't noticed, I did add a 3rd computer under the house a few weeks ago that had 2 new nvidia GTX 570s in it. My wife said it was insane and obsessive. I pulled up a listing of steve*'s computers and said no, he has 10 of the machines equivalent or better to the one I just deployed... that is insane. My wife asked for that in writing so that when I get to 10 machines under the house she can pull out the note and have the proof that I am insane and obsessive.
My thought was immediately sweet, I can deploy 6 more machines before I get any significant trouble !!!

When you run BOINC from a live-cd on the computer on the desk next to yours at work over the weekend. When one of the MIS guys comes to look at what programs are running on it the following Monday. Then, he disconnects it and takes it away.
...and that's the last time I used a work computer.

1. When you get depressed that the computers you had crunching at work finally get get shut down two months after you quit even if they were produciing less than 5% of your failty RAC.
2. When you have a computer on the fritz that reboots about once per hour and bypass security measures and set it to automatically login so as not to lose too many credits per day.

When you find a Dell Latitude D520 with a broken display in the trash at work and get all excited once you know it's a Core2Duo because it'll be a nice little corner cruncher for you!
