They were later installed in an outdoor maze. We took 3 days to have them connected to one another ( no Wi-Fi ) & have the application up & running. The only thing we have to fear now is the dreaded BSOD. Luckilly the machines are shut down at night & powered back on in the morning. One reboot a day keeps the blue screen away... :wink:

Hmmm that camera... what are you running there? Porn site powered by an optiplex cluster?  JK give you a 10 because any picture featuring systems stacked on top of one another is a good pic, no matter what the hell you do with them; hell, they could be off for all I care

/me hides the midget pRon stars...
What movies ? What actors ??? :tongue:
The camera wasn't hooked up to those machines, it was hooked up to the one all the way on the left. We use it to test different applications which make you interact with what's going on the screen, a bit like the PS2 camera but much better.

>>what is the point in seti?
For people who have too much computer hardware and not enough computing stuff to work on to waste their CPU cycles on something.

It seems as if SETI could pose a security threat, no?

No it's not a joke, like I said it's an outdoor maze & the machines were setup to form a sort of multimedia initiatory course providing information to the visitors & questioning them on what they've assimilated throughout the ordeal.

1) Can I have all those computers?
2) Can I have your job?
3) Can I have both?
