The downward slope is not isolated to S@H... Yeah - didn't they change their credit granting system as well (lower credit avgs). This just merely illustrates that the problem goes beyond the SETI project. There is still a problem obviously. http://www.setiusa.net ID: 344762 ·

If SETI users migrated to other projects, those numbers would be different. It could be as simple as Summertime (Northern Hemisphere).

Oh well... :) ID: 344861 ·

Now, maybe if they agreed to share their findings with all the other drug companies (price competition being the best thing for consumers)... since we're all singing koombaiya... http://www.setiusa.net ID: 349980 ·

WCG is largely sponsored by IBM and the software they use is provided by United Devices. The research results are available to everyone in the hope that someone will make good use of it. In any case we all crunch what makes us happy. Proud member of Team Starfire World BOINC ID: 349986 ·

Well - not to mention a lot of the other BOINC projects, which the Farmacy industry eventually will benefit from. In return for CPU-cycles - you'll get some pourly tested medicine with horrible adverse effects. Happy chruncing ;-) Kiva Greetings from Norway Crunch3er & AK-V8 Inside ID: 349990 ·

And the more side effects it causes, the more drugs they can sell to offset the side effects. http://www.setiusa.net ID: 349999 ·
