This host (194349) is consistently violating the laws of physics by exceeding the speed of light to report 44 computing hours (160,000+ seconds) per day (listed as Annonymous).

This was found as I wanted to try to warn the person who got a WU that stuck on my machine and too see if they had actually progressed on it. Not really hunting for cheaters but when one smacks you in the face (or other body area) I feel it should be reported.

He has two CPUS reporting... Could it be that in theory he could report up to 48 hours of Computing time ( 24 per cpu)

That is exactly what is happening. He can process one Work Unit for each CPU he has concurrently, and in the stats this will come out as a system that can do 48 hours of work in a 24 hour day.
