Welcome to the SETI@home staff blog.

Regarding the potential lack of funding of Arecibo, I hope everyone is sending letters or emails to their Congress persons to support the Senate bill. The U.S. cannot continue cutting all the forward investment in areas - science, education, etc. -that will be the basis for the ongoing competitiveness and future prosperity of this country. Public and private investment in science is critical to avoid continuing down the slippery slope... let alone being able to assure early warnings of and develop defensive measures against near-Earth objects.

Can any one tell me why I no longer get graphics with my screensaver, Ever since I upgraded to 6.2.17 I get a boring blue box.

Mr. Korpela, I have asked this before in "number crunching" with no respones. I am asking you as a last resort...I am running a quad core processor. I do not want it to run 4-cores 100% of the time. I have changed "my preferences" a number of times in "seti" and nothing changes. To keep the core temps down, other wise known as theta j A, two cores need to run 50% of the time. I have that in my preferences now. They have been that way for one month, and the software does not pick it up. If I am doing something wrong, it sure would be nice to hear from someone. Please advise.

Mr. Korpela,

Sorry, but we all prefer Dr Korpela to be doing much more useful work for the project.

Note that there are a few hundred thousand participants... I'll let you do the rest of the maths.

Sorry #2, you're still asking in the wrong place.

Please look in "If you have a question or problem, please use the Questions & answers area instead of the Message boards."

Please be most honourably in a waffly way be abstractly advised that the forums directorate doesn't exist :-p Also very nice to hear from you to. :-)


For your high junction temperature "theta j A" (and the "theta" bit is what?), perhaps you should look at lowering the source-to-sink delta T.

'tis far better to treat the problem rather than ameliorate the symptoms.

(Seat your heatsink better, use a better heatsink, or otherwise improve the cooling. CPUs are designed to run 100% 24/7.)

Also note that you must click on 'update' for your host to pick up any web settings changes that you have made.

Welcome to the forums,

and happy cool crunchin',

Hey Good Day all from Oregon.
Just wanted to say Thank you for the opportunity to help.
I am learning and this will take a life time I know.
Hang in there and keep up the good work everyone!

HELLO i am new here and my english is not very good ,hard for me to read you and i not shure i write ine the good forum , i have a quad 2400 and put 100% , sometime i run at 3600 or 3900 mhz,is its better for you? if my computer find something, i receive a message ?

Please help me.
I try to join with one forum in Spanish, all is ok, but the problem is: "... you receive one email with your confirmation...", but never receive those mail, so I dont know what can I do.

My email address is jaddumie@gmail.com

Thanks for all.

PD: is not important because understand English, but is better for me, comunicate in Spanish.

I'm sorry to use this forum but after searching for 20 minutes, I have no idea how to ask a silly question. I have been doing seti computing on my home pc for ten years but I do not use nor know how to use any of these tools.

My problem which arose in the past week or two is that I now receive impossibly large work units. I had one work unit which looked like it was going to use 150 hours of CPU. I managed to suspend other work and thought I was getting close (121 hours) when the 'to completion' number jumped to 196 hours. and the % completion went to 2%. There is no way my humble PC is going to do 6000 hour work units!

The work unit is question is

astro pulse 4.36 ap_06oc08ab_b0_p1_0277_20081028_3129.wu_0

So, is there some way I can continue to participate either by restricting work by cpu time or project or should I just drop out?

I do not read these forums so you had better send me email at mdorl@wisc.edu
