You probably can't do it, because 80 respects robots.txt AFAIK.

Any guesses of how much this would cost to do on EC2?

With some handwaving it could be about $82.5K (computation spread over 1 year) or $125K (computation done in 1 month).

  total cost was 35 CPU years (Intel Nehalem, 4-core, 2.8GHz)
  1 EC2 compute unit is about 1 GHz Xeon
  let's assume 1 Google unit = 12 EC2 units (3x4 cores)
  High-CPU Extra Large instance = 20 EC2 units

  35*12 = 420 EC2 unit years = 5040 EC2 unit months
  =  21 HiCPU XL instances for 1 year
  = 252 HiCPU XL instances for 1 month

Putting this into AWS calculator [1] yields:

   $82,491.36 (21 HiCPU XL reserved instances for 1 year)
  $125,435.52 (252 HiCPU XL on-demand instances for 1 month)

Edit: It could be actually a bit more, Nehalems seem to be faster than my first estimate.

Plugging in EC2 computing unit comparison from Cluster Compute instance (which has 2x quadcore Nehalem), 1 Google unit can be 16.75 EC2 units.

This gives:

  $114K for 1 year of 29 reserved HiCPU XL instances
  $166K for 1 year of 18 reserved cluster compute instances

  $173K for 1 month of 348 on-demand HiCPU XL instances
  $246K for 1 month of 210 on-demand cluster compute instances

Edit2: Dedicated server hosting would be much cheaper. For example, from Hetzner [2] it would cost just about 26K EUR (= $34K) to rent 35 dedicated quadcore Nehalem servers for 1 year.

Roughly $43000, using spot-instances.

Back of the envelope... From the link, it would take

  1.1 billion seconds @ 4x 2.8ghz
	= 4.4 billion @ 2.8 Ghz
	= 12.32 billion seconds @ 1 Ghz = ~3430000 hours

Using ec2 unit performance as 1Ghz, assume computing is comparable, Ghz for Ghz (it isn't...), and storage and xfer is negligible.

I'm looking for someone who could build an generator similar to this one: http://www.mensus.net/brain/logic.shtml

It's not that trivial, so I don't think that using some random dude from a freelancing site would be viable.

How should people contact you? There's no email address in your publicly visible profile.

I made this account because my other one was on non-procastinaio mode. I was also hoping that someone would reply to me and then I would contact him. Thanks for the heads up.
