I wonder what Power Bills thinks of me keeping watching him? It's good to be back amongst friends and colleagues ID: 1032537 ·

Some should just remember the idea of seti. Only run boinc while the computer is in use. Doing only 2 - 3 units a week would be good enough. I better dont tell you what i pay for energy. I have a power hungry home cinema system running and my computer is running 24/7. With each crime and every kindness we birth our future. ID: 1032863 ·
