but you ignore the fact most of the ACTIVE participants also see the mis management & lack of accountability by said management. Many of whom have been Make distinction between BOINC and SETI@home project. They are closely connected, but it's not the same. Here we donate to SETI, not BOINC. And latest troubles came from BOINC part solely, keep this in mind! | |

Server is hardware. No one can prevent it from crash time to time and it was repaired ASAP by SETI crew. What their fault do you see here?? Most of latest downtime came from BOINC server code upgrade. Look in forums deeply ;) | |

BTW, to stay on topic.... $100.00 from the kitties to Seti on June 4th. ____________ ****** "Ask not, what your kitty can do for you. Ask what you can do for your kitty."

I work in IT, and with the resources the seti staff have it is nothing short of a miracle that they keep it up so much. Milions of clients connecting every day and huge databases and a maxed out ethernet link equal nothing but trouble. If it bothers you that much, stop complaining and donate.. This has finally convinced me that I need to, so check back on payday and you will see I have a green star, I hope you have the decency to do the same.. ____________ | |

Just signed up for Goodsearch. Does anyone know if we can see any statistics about how much actually reaches S@H? | |

I will donate, and I will donate much, when PayPal works for donations to SETI. Until then my only donation to SETI is crunching and electricity. | |

IE8 kept crashing when closing it, I uninstalled the Goodsearch toolbar and it stopped doing that... | |

Just signed up for Goodsearch. Does anyone know if we can see any statistics about how much actually reaches S@H? I apologize if it is rude to answer your own posts, but just found this. 36 cents in January to $2.63 in May is a good trend, but we need many more people to sign up to make any difference. Also, IE8 closes and opens just fine for me after installing Goodsearch. And you can leave other toolbars open, if you like. ____________ | |

Don't know, maybe the Goodsearch toolbar conflicts with some other stuff I have installed. Anyway, I don't like have a toolbar at all, so I'll stick with searching from the IE8 search box using Goodsearch. | |

That may be the Swedish perspective, but I don't think it's fair to generalise that to "Most people from outside the U.S, ...". I use Visa credit cards online without fear (though I check the site credentials as best I can). I have had the card suspended - through vigilance by the card provider spotting suspicious transactions: the last time it happened, I'm pretty sure it was skimmed at a big-brand car parts store just three miles from my house - a physical purchase, where the card never left my sight. But for SETI, I prefer to use my Visa debit card - smaller fee charged by the handling company, better exchange rate (did someone say it was good at the moment? Must check - I'm getting close to star renewal date), and no problems at all in previous years. | |

Well I do not have any credit card, I refuse using credit cards, having the perhaps unusual philosophy in todays society, that if I do not have the money to buy things, then maybe I shouldn't buy them at all. My VISA card is a debit card, but as I said, I refuse to give out my card details online. Logging in to my bank though, I can easily transfer money to my PayPal account, but since SETI doesn't accept PayPal payment, then they obviously does not want my money. ____________ /The grumpy old Swede.
