Novak's already called DHL and given them our info, and they got back to him with a list of everything they needed from the shipper to actually get it cleared. So he's forwarding that list to the shipper so they can un-screwup the DHL paperwork and not waste another two months of our time.

That's where it got last time they screwed up shipping. It looks like not only did they include any customer contact info, they actually sent the wrong paperwork (or was it no paperwork at all?) this time too. Kids these days...
Kids? what's wrong with them? they are cheaper labour.. Oh boy do you pay for the mistakes too!
(worked in a local owned pizza shop, got to work with all the stupid though them years: "you need $15 change." Kid pulls out a 20 and 5 note: "will this do?")
But, you said you're on the ball, did you manage to contact the shipping department at Ohio and get some sort of paperwork to them to sign off?

I picked up heatsink screws today. Heatsinks will be here tomorrow. Novak just checked on the robot; it's in Customs in Ohio and the mother@!#$& shippers didn't include ANY of the pertinent info Customs needed - AGAIN - but we're on the ball this time and should be able to minimize delays.
at least its closer to home

How about faxing? Don't neglect the glorious system of faxing. In the legal world that's the number one way of communicating!
In 2000, maybe.

There's a blog post where someone figured out that he can compute 0.67 hashes per day with pencil and paper

If he solved a block above network diff, how would he submit it?

I'm hoping to coincide with MacEntyre's September 3rd date, if not a bit earlier.
Thank you for the swift answer. Given that this is a pre-order, I'm sure you understand wanting to stay in the loop on when the order is coming.

He could implement an OCR interface for a full node, then fax his solved block to it.

Yeah, considering a human typically burns about 100W average, the efficiency really sucks.

Yeah i wonder whats the Hardware Error rate on that one
Clearly a waste of heat in my opinion August 27, 2015, 12:24:07 PM

So... about 60?
August 27, 2015, 02:27:00 AM
'Cause my old 286 is still running, and has dos and keen installed, and then some.
plus i miss hearing that old 20MB 5.25" HDD winding up and setting the heads in place. .. i wonder how many hashes a minute that system could do :-?
Short, flippant answer: About 60 times as many as it could do in a second!!!

Damn you Luke! Thanks for the nostalgia!
Now where's my old 286...
At least, that's how my children play Keen on a regular basis...

I had to giggle for two reasons, first the Commander Keen reference...
Second, I'm named Luke too!

I had a blast with that on my IBM AT..

I'm probably one of the few electrical engineers in Missouri (especially under 30) more familiar with Shakespeare than video games. No idea what that reference is.
