Nice find, thanks!

Although it was a little slanted, thought it was good and good to highlight the work we do here.

"Dr. Anderson's real interest was distributed computing; the extraterrestrial angle was something of an attention-getting gimmick."

Oh, that's nice to hear! LOL. So i've just been participating in an elaborate gimmick all these years...

Yes, isn't that nice - He no longer even runs seti on his machines, he runs Climate Prediction.

Things that make you say hmmmm.

"Dr. Anderson says he himself doesn't run Seti any more. Instead, he donates his spare computer power to a global warming project. But he doesn't presume to tell others what they ought to be doing with their CPU cycles." By LEE GOMES, source The Wall Street Journal

According to that article, even Dr. Anderson has ditched Seti.

That'll go over great for the next donations drive if true, but Dr. Anderson almost never posts here, so who knows.
I can't wait to hear the cheerleaders response and spin to this one!

I have stopped all work for Seti because of ... well we all know what problems, no need to dwell on them. I still have more than sufficient credits to post here, however, and believe that I have a right to say what I believe.
I believe Einstein to be a far better project with a far better chance of achieving a "hit".
Nice people too, with a great attitude to their project.
But ... as they say ... " ... whatever turns you on ... "
:-)))))))))

Dogbytes, you're the new AZ Woody: a big loudmouth who revels in spreading discontent and hate.

You just love it when crap comes up that you can smear around and cause negative emotions.

You are a bad person.

Where's the hate and discontent...I just quoted the Wall Street Journal.

I just stated facts as they appeared.

You're reply, on the other hand, was that of a troll. I expected you to
be the first to respond in lock step. I see no rebuttal to these facts,
but just a personal attack...as I was saying, you're a troll and you've
proved it here once again.

Have a nice day... and thank you for making things so clear.

P.S. You and azwoody are birds of a feather; you're just at opposite poles of the spectrum.

I'm not defending the article, Dr. Anderson, or the cheerleaders.

I'm pointing out that you're a Grade A tool who fans the flames of discontent.

I am one of the dreaded cheerleaders.

As has been stated many times...each one of us can choose which projects he wishes to support with his client computers. I have not seen anywhere where Dr. Anderson was excluded from this priviledge! His main focus is Boinc at the present time. So What??

Quite right, just as the CEO of General Motors can drive a Ford, but it would be a PR disaster.

Except you embelished your OP with the inference that Dr. Anderson stopped participating in SAH as a punative measure, unsupported by the article or even from what you can find by surveying BOINCstats for his participation in all projects.

BTW, he must participate in BOINC under a pseudonym because there isn't much there under his own name.

Alinator

Yeah, but then GM can afford to pay for good PR.

You need to remember this is a poorly funded community- and donation-driven project, not a multinational multi-billion dollar corporation.

Cut Dr. Dave some slack, heh...

I ain't a cheerleader, really. I just like to stay objective as much as possible.

Regards,
Simon.

No matter what Dr Anderson does, or anyone else -

SETI.USA has resumed our crunching and with renewed dedication.

As the article states:

"This is where the Germans come in. Early on, they had formed a team, Seti.Germany, which dominated the results, even though more Americans participated. That rankled Chris Benoit, a Chicago health-care worker. "Hey, we're America, and we've always accomplished great things," he recalls thinking.

Thus was born Seti.USA, which quickly began outpacing the Germans. But a consequence is that now, with national rivalries mixed in, there was even less chance of anyone doing anything besides Seti@Home.

Seti.USA members take this competition very seriously, so much so that they will buy more computers in search of points. Daniel T. Schaalma, of Fond du Lac, Wis., a former machinist, has 23 in his house, mostly scattered across banquet tables in his basement. "I've probably spent in excess of $20,000 on them over the years," he says. "It's basically a hobby for me. Yeah, it's expensive, but golf can get pretty expensive, too."

Team.USA members say it's all friendly competition and good, clean, scientific fun -- Mr. Benoit was even once named "Member of the Month" of the German team."



All I can say - of course just a bit of bragging here because we have to - SETI.USA - the team to belong to.


Lets not get this thread headed down the negative path please, we have had far too much negativity on the boards. I think everyone in the community should be happy to see that SETI was discussed at all in a trade like The Wall Street Journal. This is good news for anyone that does distributed computing
