Ladies & Gentlemen: At least! It seems that all the system is stable, and... New servers on line! Checked! That guys on the lab are incredible ;) Continue that way! |

Of course after days of failures and only 15 minutes after I post the question I get: 5/18/2007 1:34:07 PM|SETI@home|Scheduler request succeeded |

I've followed most suggestions, and I've found, for whatever reason, cos I'm not a techie person, 'reverting' to the standard app from from an optimised app, gets me downloads, and as units complete, I get a couple more. Sure I have some 'ghosties' but I'm hopeful in time they'll work out. Regards, Wheelie |

i have noticed a problem with this renaming the app_info.xml file temporaly, and that is, boinc will still try to launch the seti app but heh just does the FFT and nothing else.. If i have to do this all the time that would mean being up 24/7, No thanks, Im gonna just go the regular route until this issue is seriously fixed... |

I also get the same Scheduler error and I think It is a major problem and I said to Ned Slider It's something I detest, so the "fix" is not worth My effort as I'd have to do It to 5 PCs. Until It's fixed correctly at Berkeley I'll keep crunching for Rosetta.

I am receiving the following messages. The main problem seems to be that I cannot report results. I have 6 completed and waiting to report. Any sugggestions? For what it's worth, I found that re-booting two of my computers caused BOINC to send and recieve units on both just a few minutes ago... |

Hmmm. You got me thinking (and I did start this subject). The process that causes rust requires oxygen and hydrogen (water). You say: "there is no rust in space, period" Well, there is an awful lot of ice in space (ice crystals peck at Earth's atmosphere constantly). Ice is water in it's solid form - thus there is hydrogen and oxygen - even in the "vacuum" of space. So to me, at least theoretically, it would be possible to form rust in the vacuum of space. It might take a very long time, but it would happen. Also, the interior of the International Space Station (ISS) surely has a humidification process to aid in the moisturization of the lungs, mouth, nose and eyes of the astronauts (etc.) - at least. There is air (the human-friendly form - Hydrogen, nitrogen, oxygen, etc) in the interior of the ISS. Therefore rust can occur in the ISS interior environment as well - probably close to the speed at which it happens on Earth. <<<-EDIT BEGIN->>> I just found the following: http://setas-www.larc.nasa.gov/LDEF/index.html This is an overview of the LDEF (Long Duration Exposure Facility) - a NASA project that was launched into space by space shuttle Challenger in 1984 and retrieved in 1990. It was tasked with collecting information about the exposure of various materials to the space environment. It is quite interesting, though I did not read it all. http://setas-www.larc.nasa.gov/LDEF/CONTAMINATION/contamination_intro.html An analysis from the LDEF, this validates that oxidation occurs in space, to the point of deteriorating silicone. It seems to me that by showing oxidation of one kind or another occurs in space, that oxidation resulting in rust is at least *possible* <<<-EDIT END->>> Can someone please validate or challenge my assumptions? I am most interested to know if and where I deviate from reality here. Thanks, Joe |

Until It's fixed correctly at Berkeley I'll keep crunching for Rosetta. Very nice workaround, works perfectly. Thanks!!! |

Hello all, I have a couple of new questions. 1) "Waiting for memory" on one work-unit in BOINC. I am running a dual-processor P4 with 1GB of RAM. In BOINC on the Tasks tab, I always see that one of the work units' status is "Waiting for memory". This occurs even after a reboot. There is actually work being performed on that work unit, but it is significantly lower than the first work unit (16% versus 24%). Can someone help me figure out what is going on and if there is anything I can do to jump start processing on that unit. 2) Abandoned work units after reinstalling BOINC. When I upgraded my version of BOINC a couple of days ago, I had to uninstall the existing version of BOINC first. I made a backup copy of the BOINC directory before uninstalling. I think there is at least one work unit in that old directory and I would rather not abandon it. I tried with all my might to trick BOINC/SAH into processing the old work unit, but I had no luck. Can someone help me figure out how to put these abandoned work-units back into play? Thanks! Joe |

Well the idea back in the 60's and 70's was that corrosion couldn't happen in space, Maybe that idea has changed. The T1 Trust, PRR T1 Class 4-4-4-4 #5550, 1 of America's First HST's |

Depends on your definition of "rust" ... if by "rust" you mean the chemical combination of a metal and oxygen, then there is. http://setas-www.larc.nasa.gov/LDEF/index.html can give you lots of information about this. C Join Team MacNN |

Hey what about the old machine 'Thumper', the one which conked off and started all this. Only the motherboard is faulty in that machine right ? If so can't it fixed, i mean now we have time on our hands now with the replacement online but if the old machine can be fixed we'll have more server. Chip level repairs are possible but if in this case they are not, you can place an AD in the newpapers or somthing or even contact SUN for a new motherboard. If we can get that machine working again, it would be great and its definitely worth a shot. What do you think ? |
