Bob, Your computer last contacted the SETI servers on 7 April 2012. The one task listed on your computer was sent to it on 2 April, and timed out on 19 May. To enable us to help you, I suggest you post some details from your Event Log immediately after start up. Exit the BOINC Manager (select "stop running tasks" when you do so), then re-open it. Simultaneously press Ctrl-Shift-E to open the Event Log. Click on <Copy All> (found at the bottom right of the window), and then paste that into a message thread <Ctrl-V>. |

13. they are dropping like flies. At this rate they will not last until 18 May So much for linear extrapolation. As Joseph Heller once said, "Something Happened!" during the weekly outage. |

Based on a linear extrapolation of the data since this thread began, I estimate that the last result will be returned on 18 May. But I suppose resends could make me look a bit foolish! Place your bets! ;) |

True blue is blue till we add yellow and then we have the fact of green. You think to hard. I'm colour blind. From my perspective, dark blue is indistinguishable from purple, light blue might be pink, yellow could be green, and (dark) green can be brown, orange or red. As a deuteranopic dichromat, I am able to distinguish some colours. Those afflicted with monochromacy cannot distinguish any colours. My point? There are two: my "design" is far from perfect, and colour is not a good example to proffer when searching for absolutes. |

God has not made people in Africa take up arms and kill people in that Country. Point of order: Africa is not a country. |

Here in Johannesburg, South Africa, the opposite is happening. Today, the sun rose at 6.24 am, and it set a few minutes ago at 5.51 pm. Sunrise sunset calculator |

Can someone please tell me what the "CREDITS" mean. I have 217 credits but I can't find anywhere what that means.... Better to ask this question on the Message boards (Number crunching) or Questions and answers (where essentially the same question was asked and answered two days ago). Credit Cobblestone |

As the resident South African on these boards, may I say that we are hopeful that the SKA board will follow the scientific panel's recommendation and award the project to South Africa. It would mean a lot for scientific development in South Africa. Here's a link to the SKA South Africa project website. |

As for other tours... We already did an east coast US tour recently (that's what ate up all of my September), but are trying to set up a west coast tour for January/February (going as far east as Denver, perhaps - not sure about Reno). Then maybe a short South American tour in the spring. Then more stuff next fall... You haven't toured the world until you've been to Africa... ;) |

Gary, I've also seen your reference to fiduciary duty and the laws of the United States, but I've searched quite extensively and not been able to find any evidence to support your definition of fiduciary duty. Which law or laws in the US are you referring to? |
