You can go to your account page and change your seti@HOME preferences to not do GPU work.

Though using the GPU is no worse than using your CPU to crunch work especially if you are only running one WU at a time. It will generate heat but not so much that your GPU will have a shortened life.

If you are having lag problems from the GPU if you are doing intensive gaming or god forbid work, then you can just tell BOINC to not do GPU work when the Computer is in use.

seti/boinc doesnt like the hibernate state. You are better off just shutting the laptop down or change your power status to always on and just let it run seti.

IIRC BOINC will still try to run work in the hibernate state and that might be the reason for the lockups

this typically happens when the user installs BOINC using a software manager and gets it from a repository. installing manually over this doesn't install BOINC in the files that they previously resided. I suggest backing off of the upgrade and if possible find BOINC in a repository and all your software manager to install it.

try restarting BOINC. Since your work is predominantly GPU work I'd even go through a reinstall of the latest drivers

America today in my opinion, is in large areas, mainly middle and south middle, just as racist as it was pre WWII. But of course they deny it.


I agree. Racists have learned that they can't just walk up to a person of a difference race or religion and yell an slur at them anymore. They do however do so in much more subtle and less obvious ways. Texas is chuck full of quiet bigots

rigghhttt once again we get into the Catholic church and its magical power to persuade madmen to see the error of their ways. So a madman is going to bend to the will of the Pope. Hmmmmmm I'm thinking not.

a little light reading on Catholic treatment in Nazi Germany

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Religion_in_Nazi_Germany

It seems that Catholics were left out of favor. How pray tell how would German Catholics proceed since they were already in low standing

7990 is the dual core. your's is a single core though you can run 2 WU's at time if you are able to do some editing.

make sure your ATI/amd Linux drivers are up to date

you should see the other project data on your account page. It does take a day or so to catch up when you start a new project. You can also see this data on on of the stats pages that are linked in your account page.

In this instance, this should suffice as the truth.

Robert, can you cite one Intelligent Design proponent who does not believe that the so-called "designer" is the Christian God?

No, that does not suffice. Any theory--evolves. This was once the truth at that time. It is no longer what is thought.

There are many Faiths in this one nation called The United States of America. To teach of one Christian God when in fact all the theory teaches is that there is a Causal Agent would be indoctrinating a child.

Good schooling requires 'Good parenting'.

Theories evolve because evidence has shown that a theory needs adjustment. ID theory changes because the Cerationists are as stealthy as a flyweight boxer and refuse to show evidence for their changes. They clearly change to suit a result instead of presented evidence

yes some blanked WU's fall back to the CPU and take much longer to process.(wishing that they'd find a way to ignore or skip over the blanked areas of data)

in all likelihood the clips holding the box that holds the switches have broken. these are fairly easy to replace. I recommend Rockauto for replacement parts. they have quite an extensive inventory.


/edit Oh and the silly little retainers that hold the door panel on tend to work poorly after you've pulled them out. You can easily find replacements at your local auto parts store for a few bucks

And the angel of the lord came unto me
snatching me up from my place of slumber.
And took me on high and higher still
Until we moved to the spaces betwixt the air itself.
And he brought me into a vast farmlands of our own midwest.
And as we descended cries of impending doom rose from the soil.
One thousand nay a million voices full of fear.
And terror possessed me then.
And I begged "Angel of the Lord what are these tortured screams?"
And the angel said unto me,
"These are the cries of the carrots, the cries of the carrots!
You see, Reverend Maynard,
Tomorrow is harvest day and to them it is the holocaust."
