If you want to have us join a challenge it is a simple as asking and I will do it. We have joined a few in the past.

Cheers

I see we have been added to the list...great! Everyone get geared up...should be fun. Thanks, Joe

Congrats. You should be able to do 4 comfortably. But you lose doing other projects.
I'm in for the challenge. With 1,151,203 points tonight, should help the cause.

I heard a story about a dumb criminal of the week from one of my siblings. It seems a relative was shopping at a clothing store with some friends. They heard an announcement from the store that the owner of a particular car should report to the front. So they go to front thinking they had left their lights on, a common occurrence. However, when they get there, they are told to go to the parking lot because there is a problem. So upon getting to the parking lot the first thing they notice is the car has been moved about 2 spaces forward. There are also some witnesses who told them a man in a car had targeted that particular car and rammed it in the rear hard enough to smash in the rear end and move it the 2 spaces. When asked if they got the license number of the car they did one better and said that the license plate from the suspect vehicle had fallen off as a result of the smash. So the relative called the police, made a report and handed over the license plate. (Wait, it gets better) While the police are there taking the report and talking to the witnesses the suspect vehicle drives back in and goes to the scene of the car smash. His car is missing the front license plate and he returned to look for it. The police then do their duty and arrest him. It turns out he was having some kind of domestic dispute. He thought the car he smashed belonged to the person he was mad at, not some random stranger.
These are the kind of things I had only read about but never knew about personally until now.

Gotta love stupid criminals. Jay Leno does those once in a while on Monday nights (I believe) during his "headlines" bit. Always cracks me up.

I was working on an overclock on the Phenom II x6 1045t (2.7ghz stock) yesterday to try and bring CPU times down on GPU workunits.

Installed a Coolermaster Hyper 212 cooler along with Arctic silver 5 thermal paste. Was able to achieve an overclock of 3.9 ghz (24/7 stable) on a voltage of 1.5. This voltage is quite high however the CPU never exceeded 40 degrees C under full load with that cooler, which was amazing.

I prefer the Phenom II cores still over bulldozer and piledriver due to their emphasis on full cores, not chopped up cores.

Am very happy with the results of a less than $100 6 core cpu which now performs on par with a late generation i7 in terms of total performance. The thing the i7 has going for it is much lower power consumption. AMD is not dead yet...
