3) Message boards : Number crunching : The Server Issues / Outages Thread - Panic Mode On! (118) (Message 2029802) Posted 29 Jan 2020 by Carmine Ventura Post: Hello experts: I noticed I stopped getting GPU work , is there a shortage ? Using Nvidia GTX 1070 TI Thanks !

5) Message boards : Number crunching : Question about GPU work unit (Message 2025433) Posted 29 Dec 2019 by Carmine Ventura Post: Hello, Wonder if someone can explain why every now and then I get a GPU work unit that wants 6 days to complete when all the others only take 5 minutes. If it matters, I am using a Nvidia GTX 1070 TI graphics card. Thank you. Carmine

Thats the very attitude responsible for Democrats losing so many seats nation wide , not to mention the Presidency. In case your not aware , Democrat seats are at a 70 year low, they have a serious image problem. Look in the mirror and you will see why.

7) Message boards : News : Free Speech and SETI@home (Message 1867160) Posted 13 May 2017 by Carmine Ventura Post: Another 2 cents from a long time cruncher ( since 1999 ) and donor : I don't like the implications of Eric's White Supremacist comment that displays every time I open up BOINC comment section. . . Until such time of its removal I won't be crunching or donating to the project.

8) Message boards : News : Free Speech and SETI@home (Message 1866999) Posted 12 May 2017 by Carmine Ventura Post: Long term cruncher here again, I've been running SETI at home from the beginning in 1999. . . I am also a donor ( not much, but more than most ). The name calling is offensive , is this about science or politics ?

9) Message boards : News : Free Speech and SETI@home (Message 1866760) Posted 11 May 2017 by Carmine Ventura Post: I think its outlandish to associate SETI@home with any of the political unrest at berkley. . . however, as a white man and someone who is conservative on some issues , I find Eric's white supremacist comment suggestive and offensive. It sounds rather like taking sides .

10) Message boards : News : Free Speech and SETI@home (Message 1865179) Posted 2 May 2017 by Carmine Ventura Post: The white supremacist comment was out of line. . . But I'm not here to argue with people who throw insults because that is all they can do to express their disagreement with people of other points of view . I am a white independent who voted for Trump, my wife, who is from the Philippines also voted for Trump. My x-wife, (though I don't know how she votes) , is from Panama . So anyone accusing me of being a white supremacist is a complete fool. I believe in rule of law and free speech for all . However I won't leave the SETI project over a comment made by a pin head . . . and you sir are a pin head . I started crunching for SETI back in 1999, the frontier days before the BOINC client. I believe it would take me an entire 24 hour day to complete 1 work unit. I left my computer on 24/7 for a full year trying to rack up points. Why ? I was born in 1964 and grew up during the apollo moon missions. The Astronauts were my gods and my heros ! This all led me into the thought of life in outer space . . . i'm in my 50s now and not a day goes by where Im not thinking about alien life. . . out there somewhere . perhaps we will find then or they will come here . We are actually physically participating in a project that can drastically change the course of human evolution like nothing before. It will be the BIGGEST story every to happen to the human race . . .are we going to allow name calling infantile tactics to ruin something GREAT ! Guys . . .we need to pull back together , cut the insults and the digs .stick to what we have in common. . . WE ARE SCIENTISTS !
