One of the first things all optimizers have done is to compile without the graphics. That eliminates a fair amount of code.

Not all: unless I'm hallucinating, or failed to install it somehow, Alex Kan’s current PPC app still has the graphics.

Thanks for the correction. I should have included an AFAIK.

This so called "strike" is futile.


And I run off now, before I'm assimilated ;) into human stupidity.

The strike ended on Sunday. Some have returned, but many have not. It is each person's choice. The purpose of the strike was to illuminate the concerns of those who wished to continue crunching SETI, but felt there were important issues that needed to be addressed by Berkeley. All of these people were committed to the project, but many have found the lack of response to the issues disheartening. If people just didn't care about SETI, they would just leave without trying to get problems addressed. At least the strikers were willing to take action to get their voices heard, and then willing to wait a little longer for resolutions.

Unfortunately, the resolutions are not coming as many hoped.

Some good and some bad... depends on how one looks at it.
The sky can be dark or it can be bright. Depends when and
what perspective. Something can taste good, but it depends
on who is tasting...

Life is a circle. What comes around, goes around.
For every beginning, there's an end.

For every move, there's a counter move. I usually
hope the counter move by people for me is a tip. LOL
