<snip> Since the world doesn't know God, it doesn't know work units either, because "God is work units" "God are work units" |

Some men see work units as they are and ask why; I dream of work units that never were and ask why not. ... BETTER THE WORLD ~ PAY IT FORWARD ... |

Sung to sixteen tons. You crunch 16 Units and what do you get? Dust in your fans and electric debt. Milkyway dont ya call me, Cause I cant go. I owe my soul to my SETI Bros. [/quote] Old James |

Nvidias, Intels, AMDs lend me your cpu cycles I come to overclock a GPU, not to praise it; The ET's that men seek lives after them, The good WU is oft interred with their bones, So let it be with FLOPs ... The noble NEZ Hath told you 1 million RAC was ambitious: If it were so, it was a grievous fault, And grievously hath NEZ answered it ... In a rich man's house there is no place to spit but his face.

In a village of La Mancha, the name of which I have no desire to call to mind, there crunched not long since one of those gentlemen that keep a lance in the lance-rack, an old buckler, a lean hack, and a greyhound for coursing WU´s. |

"No mercy, no power but its own controls it. Panting and snorting like a mad battle steed that has lost its rider, the masterless work-unit overruns the computer." |

It is an ancient Workunit, And he d/l's one WU of three. `By thy long grey pending list and glittering eye, Now wherefore stopp'st thou me? The bridegroom's Processors are opened wide, And I am next to run; The guests are met, the feast is set: Mayst hear the merry din.' In a rich man's house there is no place to spit but his face.

Half a unit, half a unit, Half a work unit onward, All in the valley of Boinc Rode the six hundred: 'Forward, the Boinc Brigade! Charge for the optimized apps. he said: Into the valley of Boinc Rode the six hundred. 'Forward, the Boinc Brigade!' Was there a man dismay'd ? Not tho' the work unit knew Some one had blunder'd: Theirs not to make reply, Theirs not to reason why, Theirs but to crunch & die, Into the valley of Boinc Rode the six hundred. (as usual, apologies to Lord Tennyson) ... BETTER THE WORLD ~ PAY IT FORWARD ... |

The Walrus and the Carpenter Were walking close at hand; They wept like anything to see Such quantities of work units... |

4 Then God said let there be servers; and there were multiple servers. Can't remember who said that the problems with computers multiplied only after someone got the idea of connecting them together. Must have been ms. Fortuna, she saw it coming... |
