According to ABC News, El Paso law enforcement officials advise that, moments before his killing rampage, the shooter cased the Walmart “looking for Mexicans.” While that may be so, it is nevertheless true that, consistent with his “manifesto,” his recon was also calculated to make sure that he would be attacking in a low-security area. In that regard, the Walmart store had no armed security guard, no police presence, and was located in a shopping mall that was a self-proclaimed “gun-free zone.”

....According to the Crime Prevention Research Center, between 1950 and 2018 97.8 percent of all mass public shootings occurred in gun-free zones. Similarly, in the 20 states that allow teachers to be armed, there have been no school shootings (as well as no accidents or injuries caused by firearms possessed by teachers).

Several other instances are referenced in the article and a simple internet search provides several other sources and common sense would also indicate the uselessness of "Gun Free(read "no retaliation") Zones".

I found where 25k of the WU's are hiding.

thats 1 PC. Cant see why they did this unless they were trying for some milestone.

And drilling down, this is the owner of the computer those tasks are assigned to. Can't get any further into the account.

Have a great day! :)

Interesting. Newly registered in last December.

Yep, and not only that, he/she either got a hold of the spoofed app or was able to spoof it because it says he/she has 64 GPUs. No way! That's a 3rd or 4th generation Intel CPU and the MB cannot handle THAT many GPUs.

I'd be willing to bet that they just shut down the PC when SETI went into hibernation. Those tasks will sit there until the deadline is reached and the server(s) will have to send them out to other hosts. Like mine, which I still have set up to get GPU tasks. :)

Have a great day! :)

Eric, can you comment on why the beta server code was ported over to main, and maybe related, why anonymous platform hosts can no longer receive work? Is this intentional?

I witnessed this in the big tree in my backyard. I used my iPhone 7 to take the photos - one with flash and one without flash. I'm always amazed by how good my bug pix are when I use my phone. This is a common spider snacking on a cicada. FYI I am in central Texas and took these pictures today (Sep. 11).

With flash:


With no flash:

I've had a lot of wheelbugs in my yard but never two at once, like this!



Here's a video I uploaded to YouTube: https://youtu.be/T1HtM-zcSTQ

What about runaway GPU AstroPulse hosts?
Any flavours from ATi to Intel, NV including. any links ?
