However, not everyone was satisfied with the response to their concerns and have chosen not to return to the project at this time. http://www.setiusa.net ID: 336344 ·

Thanks to the internet police (Tony), I can say that Earth will be better prepared while it's landmasses are partially submerged due to global warming, and a huge gravitational wave strikes it, all the while vaccinating the populus against an airborne vector strain of Ebola-Zaire. Instead of shortening my CPU's life with S@H, I have now found two projects more worthy of running up my electric bill, and making me buy a computer ahead of schedule. Long live the (forever) strike!!! ID: 336362 ·

Well...we don't have to go to extremes now do we :o) Crunch on. P.S.: There are people out there trying to optimize clients (I'm one of them). Results look very promising so far.

Long live the (forever) strike!!! Good for you, now why did you post this is an area that is talking about crunching for Seti, are you trying to rub peoples noses in the fact that you have moved on? If not, just move on, your share will be crunched by someelse, just as wherever you have gone to, those people will not get the units you are now crunching. OH WAIT A MINTUE NOW...what if some of those people came over here and are now crunching for Seti and you are now overthere crunching for whatever? I guess it would be a wash, huh? Have a nice time crunching, just crunch! ID: 337742 ·

Some people just have expectations that they are the one and only person in this whole world and nothing will make them happy until everyone else agrees with that idea. From my perspective, that will NEVER happen, I am here too, sorry but a fact of life as I seee it. To admit that they are the one and only, would be like saying that I am worthless. I am better than that!! They needto get over themselves and move on with their lives. Crunch for whatever they wish too, just crunch! ID: 337746 ·

I'm sure it's not to more efficently do the science. And I'm not afraid to say it, I think that's cheating...whose project is it anyway? And why do the Boinc people allow it? isn't there a way to stop all of this optimizing? ID: 342004 ·

However, since this project is run under GPL, there really is no way to stop anyone from compiling their own client. As Eric Korpela has previously stated, they couldn't stop people from doing it if they wanted to. It's a feature of the license. Also, why would you want to do less science? Not every optimizer's ultimate goal is credit - after all, it's meaningless anyway. Some people may think it could benefit the project as a whole - in the way that everyone could run an optimized client, not just a few people. That would level the proverbial playing field while providing more research in less time. Regards, Simon. Donate to SETI@Home via PayPal! Optimized SETI@Home apps + Information ID: 342006 ·

You're getting credit according to the work you turn in. The optimized applications do the same amount of work in a shorter time. The main speedup comes from using intels highly optimized compiler and libraries. Regards Hans ID: 342007 ·
