OcUker on digg?

[notmatt]

I saw this one Digg just now and thought of you lot on here. I'm sure this setup is owned by someone on here!

BTW I used to post (infrequently) on here a year ago or so, when I did lots of SETIing on the classic seti. In case you were wondering who I am.

That be Shady's SETI@home/Folding/whatever farm. Sadly it's all been sold, so no more.

Jeez, what's the average age on that Digg site - 12?

I don't think any of them paid any attention to anything you said Mark - they're still debating

Yeah, shady was the one I was thinking of. Sad to hear it is no more

 

[Berserker]

They can debate all they want. We know the facts without the insults. It's also almost at the point where I'll have to remove the link due to swearing.

hehe that's quite funny - they're so hung up on it being a "server" of some sort that they've all totally lost the plot

my favourite comment is this

Looks fake to me. Look at the proportion of some of those monitor cables and the fake shadow behind them. They are HUGE compared to what they should be at the camera's distance (and the other objects around them). Clever Photoshop....but very cool!

Classic!


Funny though I don't recall seeing the last picture before - I'd not imagined Shady having such nice hands

 

[VaderDSL]

Those digg sites are awful, but that setup is nice

Did wonder about those hands... looked a bit girly tbh!

I hate when someone posts a pic, and then all the little kids shout "PHOTOSHOPPED!" with no evidence at all.

Noobs.

If you couldn't tell that it was a girl by looking at her hands, you should have been able to tell by the straw sticking out of the soda can.

LOL

I'm 99% sure the last pic wasn't part of Shady's original set, so someone's added it later, and, as usual, 2+2=5

 

[notmatt]

Sorry if the link is a bit dodgy swearing wise, I just thought you'd all be interested to see. I must admit I did a double take when seeing the page. I was just thinking, I've seen that somewhere before...

It's amasing how many sites my old farm has appeared on. But your guess is correct and that last picture is not part of my set and is nothing to do with me.

I find all the comments from those who know nothing hilarious , but sadly they just prove why most people cant think out of the box.

The house never burnt down , but was converted to flats as was the plan all along, I never bothered redecorating the rooms just for computers (that really would be sad).

That laptop looked a lot worse than it was , but one blast from a diving cylinder and it was as clean as new and its still running today.

I still have the bulk of the kit that made up the farm , but I am currently living in a one bed flat so dont have the room to run much of it. I am planning a small farm , but have promised myself that it wont get anything like as out of control as the last one did.
