then just 3 days later 102mil is felled.
It is also worthy to note that for the first time in the history of this team SETI@home has been relegated to second place for daily credit.
The mighty PS3/GPUgrid juggernaut being the project to dethrone the long standing King.

And, now that I'm back from doing the decent thing by UBT, our RAC will rise further and the PS3/GPUgrid juggernaut will crush all before it (eventually, SETI does have a 30 million head start!!

).
I reckon that it will be a million every 3 days from now on!
Even better we could be UK #3 before the year is out!

There are no, & never will be, any restrictions on Kudos!
In practice if you pass a milestone every second day... then you know that you are averaging 110 yards per hour. Draw your own inferences!

Ah, I can see why you say that - it should have been 110 ft/hr! Sorry for any confusion.
