That is found your seti@home preference page. click No on the "show your computers". In a rich man's house there is no place to spit but his face. Diogenes Of Sinope ID: 983207 ·

It is mostly to get rid of duplicates. Sometimes a minor change is made to a system that causes a second entry to be made at the server. To help users keep things straight, merging computers was implemented. This was really important for a while at the Large Hadron Collider project as every connection would generate a new entry in the computers table. BOINC WIKI ID: 984544 ·
