    Man, Scott's PS3 is kicking my ass. I'm have two computers churning away, and he's up by 22 WU's :(.

    Alright gents, I think that the votes are in.

    Our official winner of Ninety Nine Nights is Mister Tanooki Suit. However, since both logos are phenomenal, I've got a special prize for krl.

    I think we may end up using a combination of both logos - I do like the idea of having the one logo under the other - puts the name in there and gives it some perspective. My dad's back on Tuesday of next week (he's had some time with mum in Florida) so we'll see how that looks.

    Thanks to everyone for participating and voting!

    The prize for losing is as good as the prize for winning. That is what I call a competition.

    Would it be possible at all to do front and back or does that just create a huge headache?

    Is the fact that I've had this running near-constantly for the past five days and only have half a work unit done a sign that my computer sucks donkey? D:

    Speaking of which, generally, what's considered "large" "medium" or "small" WU size, anyway? I noticed that some give more points than others.

    Er, so can we vote on the outcome of the vote? I voted for the first logo because I think it's damn classy on its own. The two, while both very good, are in different styles and I think they clash together. I'd prefer to just have one or the other -- preferably the one that won. :)

    I mean, I'm pleased with whatever, of course -- it's an awesome idea to begin with. Just my opinion.

    a thought just occurred, and i'm probably about a lifetime too late, but has there been a photoshopped image of, say, Kaz and Ken holding a PS3, with "it cures cancer" captioned across it?
    If not, make it so.

    edit: also, if someone would buy me a PS3, i'd gladly contribute to the numbers.

    I think most of us here are PS3-less, actually. I don't have one. Feel free to join the party regardless. :)

    Give it some time. The time estimate isn't accurate at first.

    Hmm reading into mine I have about two weeks. I guess it all depends on how fast your computer is as well as how processor intensive whatever your doing at the moment is. I'm sure whatever is on the screen is only an estimate.

    The time estimates are pure lies, don't let it discourage you. They don't even get more accurate. Mine are always early by weeks, according to them. Just check the progress bar every day or so and make your own estimate.

    Funny, so did mine.

    I'm so curious to see how many people actually joined up though from my AIM spamming.
    But apperantly they only update the teams page every few hours.

    Is there any way to make this take advantage of multi-core? I can only get the client to use one core at a time. Which is gay, since everything I have running this has at least two.
