HFX Distributed Computing Team

[Syxx]

I normally like to have some sort of distributed computing client running on my boxes rather then letting all those cpu cycle go to waste idling. I am sure atleast some other people here do the same.

I was wondering if anyone else would be interested in starting a HFX International team on one of the projects currently running. RC5-72 Cracking? folding@home? genome@home? something like that.

Let me know if anyone is interested, and what project most people would want to do, there has gotta be alot of cpu power between the group of us on the board here.

Yeah, I don't mind doing something like that. Wouldn't mind getting me mits into the X-Box encryption one.

X-Zine Article -
"Notes from the Mad NetAdmin"

Things to do to the helpdesk staff when they piss me off:

1. Set the duplex for their switchports to 100/half so they time-out on data xfers.
2. Add a key in their registry to log them out as soon as they login
3. Block their NIC's mac-address from sending frame across the switch
4. Use the at command to reboot their box every 5 minutes
5. Remove their user accounts ability to logon locally to their machines
6. Set them to their own VLAN and redirect all their traffic to an invalid network
ETc, Etc, etc....

Help Desk should be more nice to people who they come to for help...
