An official thank you would go a long way as well since we are all volunteers.
No ones ever gotten one around here from officialdoom that I can remember; much less the entire Seti group. That's sad.

I don't care if I get banned from this board, or the whole project, for saying this, but Kevint and Steve Akers don't just have high credit-generation capabilities - they're also very rude and put out a bad message!

We've all gotten into fights about differences in opinion, but this is more than that - you think you're better just because you have faster computers and higher numbers. That you deserve more respect and that your opinion is somehow "more valid."

I feel many are missing the point on the strike. A strike is indicative of dissatisfaction or issues that need to be addressed. The fact that one goes through the process constitutes the seriousness of the issue/issues. It is not the length of the strike that is important but that it even occurs. The strike is not intended to hurt anyone/anything but to enhance the relevance of an issue that many feel to be important.
This is only a test...

Self censored in order not to heat up any further; was basically in support of Matts post.

Ok I agree with supporting crunch3r on this, but I can also see where Eric is coming from. If there really are more points to this than the situation with crunch3r, then list them, post them in the thread.
Otherwise I can't see anything being resolved.
Also I have to agree that a week isnt really going to do much. A month would be better.

Well, if there is no resolution or at least movement toward a resolution, you may find that many of us participating in the "strike" have no intention of coming back. So therefor a week is plenty of time for us. Others are quite welcome to stretch it out as long as they are willing, but the original intent was to make the point without hurting the project if we could.

@GilbertP
think your maths is off a bit,

per day / credits per unit /active hosts = units per day per host
20,000,000 / 32 / 320,000 = ~2 units per host per day

I will not go further.

The message files retain the dates and headers and are more valuable as proof than a text version would be.

heres the first i pieced together anyway. Couldn't get it to open at all. Even tried a dedicated .msg file viewer. Wierd.
If crunch3r would prefur that this not be posted here then please say so and i'll edit it out whilst i still can. Any one know?



Hello Eric,
I don't know if it makes any sense to you, but i've compild the std source for windows with the intel compiler 9.1 using fftw.

...

the reason why i did it is that i've noticed that the binaries build by the intel compiler do not generate those c++ exeptions.
Maybe you could test it in the beta project just to make sure the c++ exeptions are not compiler related.

The binary is compiled without any cpu specific optimizations.

Also i like to note that the compiler generated some error messages.See below.

c:\\SOURCE\\testsource\\seti_boinc\\client\\worker.cpp(150) : error C3204 '_alloca' kann nicht innerhalb eines catch-Blocks aufgerufen werden
version.cpp
timecvt.cpp
spike.cpp
seti_header.cpp
seti.cpp
c:\\SOURCE\\testsource\\seti_boinc\\client\\seti.cpp(821) : error C3204: '_alloca' kann nicht innerhalb eines catch-Blocks aufgerufen werden

The translation would be something like:
error C3204: '_alloca' cannot be called within a catch-block

Anyhow if you want to test the app you can get it here: http:-----------------------------------------------

While I agree with that, some people can't read them.

Second seems to be mostly the same at a glance so i wont waste my time. Probly loads of timestamps and addresses that i cant read because encrypted and i wont put peoples addresses on. Specially considering Crunch3r is getting viruses sent to his mailbox because of all this fiascow

I don't care if I get banned from this board, or the whole project, for saying this, but Kevint and Steve Akers don't just have high credit-generation capabilities - they're also very rude and put out a bad message!

We've all gotten into fights about differences in opinion, but this is more than that - you think you're better just because you have faster computers and higher numbers. That you deserve more respect and that your opinion is somehow "more valid."

http://www.setiusa.net/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?p=23110#23110


ACK.

The combined contribution of the small crunchers is the majority of the work done for seti.

If I see someone with a RAC of 250 and a total contribution of nearly 200,000 credits, he has all my respect.

They have all of my respect as well, as long as they don't feel that those doing more work shouldn't receive more credit for the rankings.

Respect is a two way street after all. It is awful hard to respect someone who is constantly running you down.

Hello again Matt:

As I said in your posting on our Message Boards, you have based this post here (and there) on inaccurate information. Two wrongs do not make a right, and for you to come to our home and cause conflict is just as wrong as how you perceive the actions of kevint & Steve Akers to have been.

Long story short: You are welcome to post on our MB as long as your purpose for doing so is not to cause, 'issues' with the members of our team.
