Yes but not 24/7 only about 7hr per day

NO

Definately yes. I wouldn't mind not getting credits. I wasn't getting credits before BOINC scared me away. What I do mind (or, perhaps, readlly don't like) is the frequencey with which problems with downloading or reporting results occur (as, for example, right now).

Oh, well.

Opsie, you said just YES or NO. So, please disregard the above and count me as a:

YES

Seti classic didn't have today's credit system. You simply had a total that said you had processed X units. All units were treated equal (unlike today, where it goes by the amount of work needed).

So when I ran classic, I tried to improve the total number I had processed and tried to beat others (remembering back then I started out with a 133 MHz machine, so it wasn't easy to outdo most serious people). The race was with the total number of units. Today it is with credits.

Credits is just a way of rewarding us. Without it there probably would not be as many people here, but there would be some, maybe most.

Credits probably encourages a lot of the competition that takes place, which can be both good and bad.

And note, I have already voted. Look further back in time....

It's good to be back amongst friends and colleagues

YES, and I would start a thread were people can announce how many wus they have done :)

P.S: competition is important to keep people upgrading their systems and farms.

YES most definitely...something is out there and we will eventually find it.

YES most definitely...something is out there and we will eventually find it.

But why? Seems to me that its an awfull lot of resouces spent on somthing that can never offer any real benefit to humanity. Having said that I should add, it sure is fun though, and you cant argue with fact that seti led to boinc and boinc showed the world and the scientific community what distributed volenteer computing is capable of.

ps I Know, 2 or 3 letters. But that rule has allready been broken. and as the only NO vote(see earlier post[only 2 letters]) I was feeling a bit lonley and intimidated. .... so I'm babbleing, ...... so I'll stop now......

You are saying that aliens or ET will not benefit humanity? I disagree. There would me a lot of technology and stuff that we can exchange etc...

How? You really think you will be able to call them back the minuet the signel is found.I understand this is a common misconception, but unfortunatly comunication of any sort would be impossible due to the fact that any comunication would have a round trip time of many many thousands of years.
not to mention that the species that sent the signel may well be extinct by the time it reaches us and we as a species will probably be long gone by the time any reply we send found its way back. Im afraid this i just one of the many reasons why comunication will never happen.
