New members
Lately Dennilfloss has been recruiting in
the Off-Topic forum of Anandtech.
At the rate he is going it is impossible to name all the new people,
cracking for our RC5-team. If you want you can read all about it in this
thread. We would like to give all of them a big welcome. Also Adul
is a great recruiter for TA. His assimilations can be followed here.
We hope all the new members will be part of the largest distributed computing family
for a very long time.
The Seti team also got reinforcements from
a good number of new members, amongst them:
Gringo, danzigrules, Jed Hagan, shuxclams, Steven Juras, Jamie, pjs and
pancho. They are also welcomed into Team Anandtech.
Project RC5
Somehow we need to pick up the pace. Within
2 weeks we will pass
/. into the no. 1 position, but if we do not look out, DPC
will be overtaking us by the end of the year. Their growth rate is still
higher than TA's, but on the bright side: we have Dennilfloss and Adul
recruiting like crazy.

Donations for TA Banner AD - Now at
804.50  TA
First posting: Oct/10/2000 by DanC
In this thread all members are asked to donate money in order
to try and get some banner advertisment space on a high traffick
website. The goal is to reach at least $1000, so the amount is still $200 short.
An interesting means of donating someone elses money is becoming a
member of paypal, an online bankaccount. They will give you and the
person who referred you $5 each.

Zijn er nog teams die flushplannen hebben ???? DPC
First posting: Oct/27/2000 by Proxy 71
Proxy 71asks the DPC-crew if anyone has
plans for a team- or individual megaflush. A number of DPC-members are
responding to it and numbers of 50k-1m are mentioned. The largest number
mentioned by Proxy 71, lies between 700k-800k. Burat is talking about
200k and several others have 100k ready to be flushed. Aginor wants to
pass not only Slashdot (/.) on december, 31th, but take TA down in the
process.
96 nieuwe computers!!!!
DPC
First posting: Oct/29/2000 by Paul18
Paul18 announces the assimilation of 96
computers (71 PIII-500 and 25 PIII-600) for the DPC. Now, he's wondering
how to get all the blocks to the (networked) computers, since only one
machine has internet-access. Two members respond with the answer:
"You should use a perproxy!".
Good Article for SETI People

possibility for Martian life to have reached earth within a meteorite.

Switches are better than hubs, right?
TA
First posting: Oct/28/2000 by Sukhoi
To the above question, there came various
answers. All of them mentioned it is better to use a switch. It might be
interesting to read all the advantages of switches above hubs.
Especially for people, who want to network computers might benefit from it.
