Here is more. Once again I am not taking a stand one way or the other, but presenting information.

I am not taking any stand here, but this could be considered information where gun control worked.

In the gulf war in the 90's we let Saddam stay in power and had to go back a decade later . In wwII the brits signed a treaty with Adolf and well .....! .Sitting back worried that things will get bad if we take fatkim out now sound like a very dangerous thing to do !
It is going to get ugly what ever we do but the more we wait the badder it will get and the more time he has to make cosy with rogue contry's like Iran or cosy with the Backstabbers Pakistan then it won't be bad it will turn into End of Days stuff and I think both China and the U.S need to remember that we are not that far from the oil running out 3-15 yrs depending on whom's report you read and that alone is going to make things ugly
Get fatkim now and show the nutters that the world will no longer tolerate rogue states and be done with him
Waiting will only play in his favour

I think that NK will collapse at some point, and it would seem better to control that fall now with diplomacy than later with war. It is only a matter of time. War is not a good option. China may hold the key to collapsing the NK government, but in a controlled fashion.

I want China and the US to be on the same page, and that can only happen through dialog.

NEWS FLASH: It is 2013, The 21st Century, and Diplomats Do Not LIE Face To Face Anymore! WE ARE CIVILIZED NOW.

Bound For It.

And we weren't civilized a week ago?.....

I am just happy Kerry went to China, and the two countries are talking. I want China and the US to be on the same page, and that can only happen through dialog.

What you have to do after you uninstall the update and reboot, is to "Check for New Updates". That will clear it from your Que.

According to Microsoft, that update has been pulled, and is no longer available.

Thank you Bernie for posting that info in this thread. I had some strangeness going on with Piggy after that update, and now I have uninstalled it remotely.
I passed the info on to our IT Admin here at work, and he will stop it before it gets pushed to the various computers.

One very happy cruncher!

I found this article interesting, and although not conclusive, it represents another source of information. Feel free to post other information as it becomes available.

Awesome Matt!
This move has been a huge breath of fresh air for everyone! Crunching SETI just got a lot easier, and a lot more maintainable on your end!

Well done!

I think that eventually, even if North Korea does not start a war, that they will become so isolated the regime may collapse anyway. This may take a while, but I think China and the US should be discussing these things before it becomes critical. If both countries have a good understanding then things will go much smoother at the point North Korea actually falls apart. It may take many years, but I really think it will happen at some point.

Something must be wrong. The new cricket peaked out at close to twice what the old one did, and it is not saturated. This can't be real..... I must be dreaming. :D

Chris, that is their missile capability -- but as to the payloads they can load on them today -- something else entirely. 'Conventional' ordinance -- yes, no problem. Functioning nukes, not so much -- at least yet.

Still and all, perhaps better for the world if NK does something really stupid sooner rather than later.

That, is a very good point.

We are all here from all over the world because we share a goal of finding evidence of life from somewhere other than earth. We may, or may not find that evidence, but we have found something even more valuable. We have found each other. Many good friendships have come from here, and I am sure many more will be found.

What is this guy thinking? If things keep going like they seem to be, North Korea is going to be history.

I guess I was wrong.
There does seem to be a place for phone crunching.
I have been wrong before, and I'm sure I will be wrong again. :D

My thoughts are that power must be provided for long term crunching. Overall throughput is way less that a low end desktop or laptop, and I don't know how long a phone or tablet will last crunching constantly without extra cooling.

I may be wrong, but it seems like a cheap computer, with a bit of cooling would do a lot more for a much longer time. To me it just doesn't seem worth it, but I am very pleased that it works.

The US is bound by treaty to help South Korea in the event of hostilities. China is also worried about the aftermath, in that a US presence would be on China's doorstep. Discussions should take place with China prior to any potential collapse of North Korea, to address the Chinese concerns. You would have humanitarian problems, and political problems. Understanding the ramifications and concerns between all parties can lead to a more successful outcome.
