I have no sour grapes with him either. Im glad he wanted to join in. To me that shows a commitment. To SETI and the WOW event.
As this is just the 3rd year for the WOW event growing pains will happen. And I predict next year will be even bigger.

I salute SETI@Germany for doing this.
As this is my first event, I dont have a lot to say, But Im sure if a differant catagory is made for data centers, Maybe that would be the answer?

Might be interesting, but I think Mr. Long is an anomaly.
Not too many datacenters would need to 'test' things that much. Or risk disrupting normal work in lieu of participating in a contest of processing prowess.
Perhaps for a week or so to prove what they are capable of, as in 'publicity stunt'...
But, Mr. Long has been reclusive. So I really don't know what he's up to.
And he ain't sayin'....LOL.

Thats why I think he owns those computers. Or he's the head IT guy in charge of them. But thats all conjecture. My hat is still off to him.
