Hi everyone! To all those like me who weren't interested in helping with distributed.net's (IMHO silly) RC5-64 string cracking challenge, you may be interested in helping out with a practical, real-world effort. distributed.net's 24-mark Optimal Golomb Ruler project is back on line. OGRs are good for radar arrays and other efficiency-concious mathematical abstractions. True, it took them 5 months to resolve an MSB/LSB inconsistency in their client code but they've been busy with other things like apparently trying to prove that RC5-64 is weak encryption by hooking up over 100,000 computers for about 5 years to crack one string. Weak. Yea, right. So, what's the point? Team KCLUG (search for Kansas, we're the only one) needs more CPU cycles. Yesterday we were ranked #252 out of 2785 teams. Please help out if you can. Due to the power outage, I doubt we'll be ranked as high today. Thanks in advance, Tony Hammitt
