How to upload a completed task results
(Message 936742)
Posted 29 Sep 2009 by  White Mountain Wes
Post: There are many reasons that an upload doesn't go though. Most of the time it has something to do with the servers being down or communications being maxed out. It's nothing to worry about. The manager will keep on trying to send it until it goes through. |

Lost / Stranded WUs
(Message 931125)
Posted 5 Sep 2009 by White Mountain Wes
Post: They are called "ghost units" or "ghost work units" (whatever you prefer). It usually happens when some sort of communications error occured so that Boinc thinks that you have the WU but you never actually recieved. It happens to us all every now and then and is a fact of life when working with Boinc. You can either do the detach process described perviously, or just wait until it times out and gets sent to a new wingman. Yes, a wingman out there will have to wait a little longer to get credit. But odds are that wingman has at some time or other recieved a few Ghost units too and made othe people wait. So it all evens out in the end. Sort of a karma thing. |

Post: My personal opinion.... he should be laid to rest in Lake Chappaquiddick. Good luck finding "Lake Chappaquiddick". But don't bother looking on Chappaquiddick Island because you won't find it there. |

Post: He died of the same Cancer that killed My Brother, Hopefully He had family around Him when He went. He died at his home in Hyannis Port Massachusetts surrounded by family and friends. Its the end of a politacal era. |

Post: Would much prefer to wait a few moments more to soar with eagle rather than rush to fly with fledgling sparrow. If you want to soar with the eagles, don't hoot with the owls. |

Post: The Original was never intended for the USA, Ours is the one that was intended, But don't worry I'm not disagreeing, Merely correcting something. Was the original intended for the aliens? (just trying to get things back on-topic) |

Post: But it's only 5 am Berkeley time and 2 am in Hawaii, so there's still a lot of Friday left. I am sure that the French are waiting for the US to wake up. Maybe the statue IS the alien. |

Post: It seems like all the changes are associated with CUDA and GPU functions. Is there any reason to do the upgrade if you don't have a GPU? I havn't gotten any of those yet, so is there any other reason? |
