Being a very hungry man you

Being a very hungry man you have been racing to eat a whole pie, which you will finish in about 3 days ... :-)

Cheers, Mike.

Just where, kind sir, did you

Just where, kind sir, did you come up with 3 days?

The trigger for a win is not based on the calendar or any specific pre-defined time.

You may want to investigate Earth's orbit and 8 min @ c.

The wedding approaches and the bride has a million things to do. She is busy and I'll give credit where credit is due.

The plot thickens...

I thought I was wrong once, but I was mistaken.

Well PI ( a commonly used

Well PI ( a commonly used math object + something for which hunger applies ) = 3.141592 to 6 places after the decimal point. You're RACing at ~81K per day toward a total of 3,141,592 and that'll be later this week ? :-)

Cheers, Mike.

ROFLMAO!!! Good job Mike!

ROFLMAO!!!

Good job Mike! You win an extra million worthless points.

So now we'll probably see no posts till I'm approaching the goal. We'll see who is last when I log in at that point.

Next time it'll be harder. You didnt' even let me get to the 10 to the 6th power part.

THAT was very good of Mike to figure that out, well done!!!
I would not have gotten there this far away from the 'event'!!

My dad likes to tell the story of when he was a kid his dad gave him a math book that had PI to the 10th decimal point, my dad used that in his homework and in class, and always got his answers marked wrong because the teacher was only using 3 decimal places. It created just slightly wrong answers, not WRONG, but wrong enough to not be what she considered to be right! When they called my dads parents in for a meeting his dad explained the book and my dad stopped using it. But he still has the book tucked away, he pulls it out for his story.

It is now 7:40AM here on the East Coast of the US and I am winning!!

So now I need to start

So now I need to start playing with clock speeds until my crunchers start to smoke then back off a few Hz, just to fool the folks who are going to try and time it.

Let's see, where did I leave that bottle of liquid nitrogen...

Lost a 200 mm top fan on a cruncher. This make two fans lost in the last 7 days.

The first fan was a CPU fan. Does anyone know of a way to "status" fan rpms on a Linux box using ASUS MBs?

Is it a PWM fan? I'm not sure

Is it a PWM fan? I'm not sure but I think PWM fans you can read the RPM, so should be able to set an alarm for zero RPM.

Food for thought.

Edit: Found a link that describes fan control that has links at bottom about software for various mobo makers. Here
