Halo SETI Team 7 day stats posted
Dink!... The Halo SETI Marines fall another notch, to 50, in the Battle of the Teams - overall crunching was down this week (due to the holiday?).

Clarification on Jack of all Games
Blackfly dropped us a line to tell us that Jack of All Games is the bargain bin distributor (games under $25) for Take 2/GoD. They're on their way out of business, though... I think PlayNOW was just confused. Me too, now... (Louis Wu 00:13:56 UTC) (permalink)
