applause Re: A new dawn and better days!

I dont know about you, but I could have used 10 of her back at The Buldge. Would have gotton to Berlin much faster.

I still have no computer, but I'm here in spirit. Soon I will be issued a new assistant. The soldiers name is Lt Col. Athalon64. I know his family and should be a fine addition to this force.

Now, my regards to the fallen. Lt. Col. K6-2 was a fine computer. Loyal, unselfish, efficient, I'm terribly sorry.

Let it be known that, even though only 500MHz, he served with the honor and distinction worthy of the corp.

I enclose a section of ribbon cable in a letter to his motherboard mfg. along with a copy of this post. A fine computer and a fine solider, and he had no vices. I shall miss him allot.

I can’t see the reason why such fine computers fail, when there are so many battles left to fight.

She must have forgot to take her prozac again.

I would guess it's something a bit stronger, but you've got to admire her dedication.

shock Re: A new dawn and better days!

Oh Twil, hehe, I come here for R&R. This was the 'call to battle' for my team's first challenge.

Gen.Patton
Now, on the eve of battle, I just want you to remember, that no bastard has ever won a war by dying for his country. He won it by making the other poor dumb bastard die for his country!

Troops! All this stuff you have heard about crunchers not wanting to fight, wanting to stay out of the war. Is horse dung. Crunchers traditionally love to fight. All real cruncher love the sting of battle. When you started using a computer, you always admired the faster processor, larger ram and the highest tech video cards. Crunchers love a winner and will not tolerate a looser. Crunchers play to win all the time!. I wouldn’t give a hoot in [heck] to a soldier that has lost and laughed.. That is why no cruncher has ever lost or will ever loose a war. Because the very thought of loosing, is hateful to a cruncher.

Now, an army is a team. It lives eats sleeps fight as a team. This individuality stuff is a bunch of crap. The bilious bastards that wrote that stuff, in their Saturday evening post, know as little about battle as they do about fornicating.

Now, we have the finest logistics and equipment, the best SPRIT and the best cunchers in the world!! You know, I actually pity those poor diseases. By god I really do. We are not only going to SHOOT the BASTARDS, we going to cut out their living guts and use them to grease the fans in our machines. We are going to MURDER these LOUSY diseases by the BUSHEL.

Now, I know some of you troops are worried that you will chicken out under fire, don’t worry about it. I know you will all do your duty. DISEASE is the ENEMY, not us! Wade into THEM, spill THEIR blood, shoot THEM in the belly! If you have ever touched the cold skin of a loved one stricken, you will know what to do.

Now there is another thing I want you to remember, I don’t want to get any messages about us “holding our position”. We are not holding anything. Let disease try to pull that. We are advancing constantly and are not interested in holding onto anything but the enemy. We are going to hold on to them by the NOSE while we kick them in the TEETH! We are going to KICK THE HECK OUT OF THEM ALL THE TIME, as we plow through these projects LIKE CRAP THROUGH A GOOSE!!!

Now, there is one thing you troops be able to say when you retire. Thirty years from now, when you have your grandchild on your knee and they ask “what did you do in the great war on disease? The one that set my generation free.” You wont have to say I didn’t do my best, because I didnt know to care..

Ok, all you bastards, you know exactly how I feel.

Oh and one more thing. I would be proud to crunch with you in battle… anytime… anywhere.


That’s all.

Not really.... she needs to put a sock in it. What this board needs is a user ignore button,

We all have users we'd prefer to ignore. Supposedly the forum software be upgraded this quarter or next - at least that was the last I heard. Hopefully the new version will include the blocking feature. Here are a couple threads that discuss the issue.

Re: A new dawn and beeter days!

Civility, please. Everyone.

Please don't distract the techs from their task with trivialities.

The rules are here if you need to refresh your memories.

I agree with you jal2.

Except that this thread is about a serious problem that many members seriously tried to investigate.

But sadly enough it has just been wrecked within a few days by people who, I hope, think they are helping.

Too bad. crying

Please remember our collective goal.
World Community Grid's mission is to create the largest public computing grid benefiting humanity. You have joined in order to donate the idle cycle time from your computer to accelerate the research projects running on World Community Grid and in that way, help to improve human conditions. We encourage your participation on the forums and provide information on team development and progress to make it easier for individuals to participate, to recruit new members and generally increase the amount of computer run time available for the humanitarian research projects we run. This web site is not a place to promote any other cause or issue.


If you want, I will write an apology to sheep. If that is what you mean. If you are worried about the strong language, sometimes its needed to get the point across.
