You grumble when you see a screen saver running on any machine anywhere (the cycles! the cycles! my kindom for the cycles)

When you actually consider the postscript idea posted [url=http://www.mersenneforum.org/viewtopic.php?p=10877#10877]here[/url]

You go through the calcs to figure out how many overclocked, liquid cooled P4's it would take to heat your spa. :furious:








You actually build a CPU heated water heater to make hot beverages. :devil:

You hijack the Earth Simulator Computer in Japan.

You don't know why you were just arrested.

My last post sounds like i actually did it, but i have not. (I need an EDIT button :) ) I have thought about asking the manager if i could run Prime95, but never had the nerve :) .

We could almost have a tread on unusual places you might find GIMPS power :) .

If you are at HP's largest benchmark facility for the next 2 weeks and are thinking "how can I use these machines for GIMPS?"
