20th June: Website now working again! - and after 21 years UBT is still here and we continue to crunch :-) (PS: I still have no idea where the UBT logo went !)
A section to chat about whatever takes your fancy about the team in general. For queries about the UBT Forum, please post a message here. Likewise, any suggestions for making the forum better...
Looks like we'll be passed by "Einstein at work" soon (if it hasn't happened already !).
This is quite a rare occurence, as normally it's us passing other teams...
They've been coming up on the rails for some time and with a RAC of over 700,000 credits per day, they look like being serious contenders for a Top 10 placing in the world rankings.
Our RAC of just under 200,000 per day isn't quite enough for us to keep them at bay, so we'll just send them "best wishes" as they pass us. Maybe we'll get close to them some time in the future....?
Yup - they've now passed us and pushed us down a place.
Shame we couldn't give them a fight...but with a RAC of over 700k per day, we'd have needed a miracle to respond......just one of those things I'm afraid....
Mind you: If Einstein runs out of WUs, then we'd be back in with a chance :D
Looks like we would need every single team member on it, to the detriment of all the other projects so looks like we are either going to have to forget it and wait for a long over due miracle or you are going to have to buy more shares in Hobnobs.
Do we have 700 volunteers out there with an RAC over 1000?

Might not need 700 !
Here's the plan: We raid Intel and AMD and get all their Quad and Octo core CPU's, then get over to Asus/Gigabyte/Supermicro and grab some of their mobo's, then a quick trip over to Crucial and grab plenty of DDR2 sticks. In each case, we plead poverty and they give us everything we need free of charge.
We then head over to a decent hosting centre who has plenty of aircon and uninterruptable power and ask them to give us mega bandwidth and free power.
We then set up RAM drives on each assembly of CPU/mobo/RAM and overclock them all by at least 20%.
And then we join up to every project and let rip.
Ooops - just woken up....seem to have been dream-typing.....

Sorry to burst your bubble but I've tried that one every night in my sleep hoping to beat that bloomin Timby bloke on RAC but I still wake every morning credit poor and a little greener.
My next move is to become Network Administrator for IBM.
Boinc@Poland have some odd stats they added 12 million on 12/03 and 5 mill on 16/03 any more like that and they would pass us but I cannot see on their individual projects any single day with figures anything like that?
Looking at the totals I suppose if they were crunching SETI and Rosetta as a different team and merged that would do it in which case they should remain well behind us.

Looks like it's a number of teams merging to form a "superteam":
He has the highest RAC in the world by a long way
