Isn't there some more readable way to generate an IRC log? Like joining consecutive utterances by the same person into a single entry, or colour-coding to make it clearer who said what. Maybe it's just because I'm not an experienced IRC user, but these text logfiles seem almost unreadable.

Lets see how well you can interpret it.
I feel like my eyes are pointing in opposite directions now.
My favorite part of the discussion:

Seriously, it's in there.

Why are people giving away CPU time they could very well charge for? When you think about it, they aren't just giving it away but paying for it in the form of electricity!
If I had the time and money, I'd start a company that buys CPU time from subscribers and sells it at a premium to those who need it.

Stupid slashdot moderators. Idiots, the lot of 'em.
Actually, it was a serious question. And yes, I deal with most of the basic points to do with plumbing in the preface; I've also dealt with spooning, doggie style and three variations of the missionary position, although in the case of the latter, I am yet to give them unique names. I'm just starting to deal with fisting, so if you (or anyone else) would like to continue this discussion off Slashdot, please email me at mongo@mongo.net...
Many thanks.
Stupid moderators. Can't you recognise a serious request when you see one?
Even here, AMD rocks- did you read the part where they say: "The most recent AMD processors have better hardware rotate support than the most recent Intel ones...
:-)
I just LOVE my AMD...

And Eve too. Satan was jacking off in the corner, watching. See, Satan's rebellion was more to do with God leaving him out of the orgies than any misplaced sense of pride. But your Bible won't tell you that.
[17:43:58] we came quite close to being deployed to a few thousand pay telephones but the person behind the scheme couldn't get management approval.
Anyone know where we can find out some more information about that?

It's you and yourkind that are responsible for the world being the cesspool of sin it is today. God cleaned the world of you once, and He will do it again.

Because there is no God, no Heaven and no Hell. Don't assume your adherence to a group neurosis somehow entitles you to claim any superiority. Just because you're afraid of passing into non-existence, don't assume it works for everyone else.

Look around you some day. Drug addicts raping kids and elderly, earthquakes and hurricanes, crime running rampant, AIDS and other STDs infecting unborn babies and pagans bombing our cities and contemplating the destruction of Lord's Chosen People in Israel. The day is coming and you've better be ready!
Because I can.
From the transcript: [19:15:18] acidblood First, I'd like to say that 64-bit machines do not help RC5 in any way.
So in other words, taking into account Moore's law, at the heart of all this effort is an algorithm thay will be sub-optimal for the generation of processors that will be in common use 1-2 years from now. Great. Somebody needs a fire lit under their ass.
If you'd bothered studying history, you'd know that nothing has changed since the biblical times.
It's nutcases like you that give good, decent religious people - be they Christians, Muslims or miscellaneous - a bad name. Yes, I'm talking about Taliban and you!
Is it ok do log an IRC talk and put the log up on the internet ?
IRC is a semi-private communication platform and I wonder if this doesn't violate the EU privacy laws (not the US ones because there are no US privacy laws).
Personally, I wouldn't like people putting up on the web all the stupid questions I ask on IRC.

Let alone, more than the US.
Thats just crazy talk.
I gave up on distributed.net. Great project, but it generates too much heat in my office and makes me woozy. Maybe when they have better heat handling on these fucking insanely HOT AMDs...
Shouldn't you be, like, eating books and breaking bottles over your head or something?

The work you complete in a distributed project like this can be written as:
keys/sec for a typical CPU of the project
times
number of participants
times time spent (seconds).
As for the first we have Moore's law, which will probably continue to be accurate for some years to go. So that's a very good thing for d.net. Unfortunately the number of active participants isn't growing, and may well start to diminish with a timeframe as this. And that leaves time spent to get us there.
Rc5-72 is basicly just doing rc5-64 over again. There's no novelty value, no sense of accomplishment. It's just the same again, but 256 times bigger. I think people will change to other more instantly gratifying projects. SETI has a very pretty graphical client, public nterest and it's something new if you've been at d.net for 5 years.
In 10-20 years when Moore has made computers fast enough, that this project is accomplishable, there will be noone left to work at it.
haha. good one.
By the way, these trolls are great. I think everybody is still drunk from Saturday night. Yeah, I know Saturday night has been over for a long time eurofags. But eurofags don't count.
drwii also has as many moderator points as michael. Tragic, isn't it?
"Cyberwarrior"?!?!? That is so not how real Jesusfreaks write. Better luck next time, trool.
That's because michael's not abusively moderating today. Probably too tired from an all-night taco snotting session.
You missed step 3.5:
3.5: Create an artsy female online persona coupled with many pictures of a moderately good-looking female, and sell "her" smelly underpants on Ebay.
No, the proper thing to do is eat glass and shit on books. Fuck man, what kind of savage will eat a book when one can smear a handful of dung on it?
No sig is worth reading.
It was 6 fucking am when you posted this? You're still up? Party like a rock start or what? Did you do a line of meth to keep going? Sometimes, I shit in a sock and slap someone I'm partying with. Man that fucking thing gets some laughs.
No, it wouldn't be slashdot if a bunch of motherlessfucking man children slapped down everything they didn't like. They'll probably mark this offtopic or flamebait when I tell you all that they're facist asshounds.
I can't believe they let the world waste all those CPU cycles between mid August and the end of September. I figure they've poured $50,000 of user's electricity down the drain - and that's being conservative, if you'll excuse the pun.
Considering that RC5-72 is 256 times bigger than RC5-64, I don't think that it's going to be cracked any time soon. Even with Moore's Law in place, you're STILL talking about a 10+ year project to crack this code. This brings up two interesting questions:
* How many people are patient enough to wait that long for the job to finish? D.net has already lost a lot of geeks to the flashier projects like SETI, and most people just don't have the attention span to complete a long project without some periodic rewards along the way.
* What will it prove when they finally complete their task? If it takes thousands of computers over a decade to crack the code, are you REALLY going to be able to convince anyone that code isn't secure enough for basic data encryption? Sure, some paranoid government folks might panic, but the general public really isn't going to care.
From the FreeBSD -STABLE man page:

NAME
fold - fold long lines for finite width output device
SYNOPSIS
fold [-bs] [-w width] [file
DESCRIPTION
The fold utility is a filter which folds the contents of the specified files, or the standard input if no files are specified, breaking the lines to have a maximum of 80 columns.
The options are as follows:
-b Count width in bytes rather than column positions.
-s Fold line after the last blank character within the
first width column positions (or bytes).
-w width
Specify a line width to use instead of the default 80
columns. Width should be a multiple of 8 if tabs are
present, or the tabs should be expanded using expand(1)
before using fold.
I've been doing the dnetc research since day 1, and attributed 18 months ago some CPU cycles towards the SETI@home (Got above the 10000 Units completed). But I got a bit annoyed with the way the SETI@home clients where optimized. Compaq, SGI and Sun had some specific highly-optimzed code and this made them compete in the Big Companies class, but the word then was there was no need to further optimize the x86 clients as it was good enough. So I decided to contributed all my cpu cycles to dnetc (rc5/ogr).
Just for the record, we also have a list of the questions that were sent to the bot, but not used due to time constraints. The d.net guys were nice enough to hang around for an hour or so after the forum was over (and after the log ended) to chat with everyone who stuck around.

Beware, Nugget is watching... See?
The correct block seems to have been turned in back in July, and even though it's reasonable to not expect to have find it by now, shouldn't they have kept the stats up for what was done since? Seriously - the stats page seems to have been rewinded back to July and they seem to be pretending that then is when people stopped submitting blocks. This doesn't make me want to help Distributed.net in any future projects.

it is of no avail to threaten them with death.

And if breaking the law means a man will be killed,
Who will dare to break the law?
There is always an official executioner.
