Right now is a good testing situation for them. BTW: If no one has seen, they left their same message from yesterday up on the home page, and just changed the date.

What if everybody disables BOINC connectivity to "unstress" SETI's Servers... I'm just guessing it might help... It would be nearly impossible to get everybody to do this, first, because not everyone pays attention to any news source (front page, technical news, these boards) and even if everyone could be contacted, many would not do it for various reasons. If Berkeley wants to try this, it would be easier for them to disconnect and let their various servers run. They may have already done this. ID: 139227 ·

BTW: If no one has seen, they left their same message from yesterday up on the home page, and just changed the date. Nope not exactly. They changed the last sentence slightly: original (18.): There are several parts to making this work and, barring any show stoppers, we hope to have it online in the next couple of days. today: There are several steps to getting a new machine online but, barring any show stoppers, we hope to have it online in the next day or so.
