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.

I am conducting research for my new book, "Assfucking for Beginners", and due to the large numbers of practiced assfuckers who visit this site, was wondering if I could be given a list of anal sex techniques; my list begins with the ream and (so far) ends with the Dirty Sanchez, but I am fairly certain that there are more to be found.
I throw it open to you, Slashdot; what should I include?

Lets see how well you can interpret it.
I feel like my eyes are pointing in opposite directions now.

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 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...
They forgot to include this bit.

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.
Some sort of sadistic pleasure?
Why?
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!
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.

Hello. We are the Detroit Lions defensive unit. We'd just like to say we are going to stuff Ahman Green's head so far up his ass tomorrow, he will be able to see the backs of his own teeth. We'd advise Ahman's mama not to watch the game.
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...

Such courage, such bravery against overwhelming hordes of black nigger savages with AK-47s!
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.

Damn the machine the system's corrupted
Abusive power is everywhere
Our elected officials, pass laws to help
But who's paying them off
And in the end, we the people pay
Such a heavy price, just for being alive
And if this country was really free
We'd make paper from hemp and let the forest live
But corporate America, and billion dollar industries
Have so much power
Yet they stand to lose
Too much fucking money
There's nothing we can do...but...
Take back all that we've lost
At any price that it costs
Our freedom was worth fighting for
Resistance now or nevermore
Solo: James
And what about the CIA
What the fuck is their real job anyway
Starting civil wars in Third World countries
Importing heroin from the far east
Talk about cocaine, neither kept away
From the youth of today...now
There's nothing we can do...but...
Take back all that we've lost
At any price, that it costs
Our freedom was worth fighting for
Resistance now or nevermore
Hi, Jay Fiedler here. I'd just like to take this opportunity to laugh contemptuously at the bookmakers who only have Miami favored by 3 against the pitiful Kansas City Chiefs, a team who gave up 40 (FORTY!) points to the Cleveland Browns(!).
To them I say: ha! The Chiefs are giving up 357 passing yards per game, and I, let me tell you, have an arm, bwah. Yes, there will be wailing and gnashing of teeth in KC come tomorrow. 3-pointspread my nuthair.
I hoed and trenched and weeded,
And took the flowers to fair:
I brought them home unheeded;
The hue was not the wear.
So up and down I sow them
For lads like me to find,
When I shall lie below them,
A dead man out of mind.
Some seed the birds devour,
And some the season mars,
But here and there will flower,
The solitary stars,
The Trolls are fucking micheal up the ass today.
"Cyberwarrior"?!?!? That is so not how real Jesusfreaks write. Better luck next time, trool.
LIAR: you're a fucking burro, an ass. And I will fuck you with my licorice.
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.

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.
Remember "Bring 'em on"? *sigh
If men are not afraid to die,
it is of no avail to threaten them with death.
If men live in constant fear of dying,
And if breaking the law means a man will be killed,
Who will dare to break the law?
There is always an official executioner.
If you try to take his place,
It is like trying to be a master carpenter and cutting wood.
If you try to cut wood like a master carpenter,
you will only hurt your hand.
