I know my parents keep a couple of pictures of their "parents" (including uncles and aunts and so on).

Blame poverty and population growth.

Despite that, my father's father apparently was a family man when in his younger years.

Now it's all gone.

Sigh!

Oh, come on.

Clowns are supposed to be funny - nothing else.

P, Q, R, T, U, V...

Slam my head!

I think there may be a problem when it comes to the setting of the Preferences when it comes to the running of tasks.

As you certainly know, I run Seti@home and PrimeGrid 50/50. On my current 32 bits partition, I am right now having 8 PrimeGrid Cullen tasks, which are CPU-based tasks and quite long ones. Also 4 more or less stuck Genefer World Record tasks which are all GPU-based.

I have as earlier mentioned pulled one of the two graphics cards for an Sound Blaster card which by the way is not mounted inside right now. Getting the second graphics card in is much more work and will have to wait.

Checking in with the Seti@home Preferences under my account, I already have Seti@home Enhanced and Seti@home v7 set to "yes". Astropulse v6 is set to "no".

I probably should leave "Resource share" as it is at 100.

If no work for selected applications is available, accept work from other applications is currently set to "no".

If I want to finish the PrimeGrid Genefer World Record tasks, I would need to finish my current Seti@home tasks and adjust the preferences in order to receive CPU-based tasks only which will then run at the same time as the Cullen tasks.

I do not have any ATI graphics cards. I do not need to tick that box. For GPU I am supposed to be using nVidia and not Intel, correct?

But the "Use CPU" apparently needs to be selected in order to receive CPU-based tasks.

Also the box at the bottom for updating the preferences reads "% preferanser".

Why not just "OK" or "Update" / "Submit" here?

If I know this is working, I will probably get back to Astropulse a little later on.

Please advice.

Thanks!

Yes - Going For The One [Full Remastered Album + Bonus Tracks

Not available, because of a copyright issue.

Ouch, sorry about that, but really, I found it once more after 10 minutes of searching.

It's still available for playback.

And, by the way, I also was able to find one more of those idiots while doing the google.maps thing.

Oh, got it wrong again.

Of course setting the computer in standby mode also exits the BOINC Manager either automatically or manually (by means of a manual shutdown).

What probably was in my mind is that CUDA is really a "ready-set-go" feature more or less built-in or provided by means of the graphics card itself. It all runs by means of the driver which is provided for each separate application (Seti@home CUDA task / Astropulse CUDA, or PPS Sieve / Genefer CUDA when it comes to PrimeGrid).

With many of these features more or less built into the graphics card itself, at least when it comes to the hardware, there may be no surprise that certain things may be running when they are not supposed to be doing so.

One example is the 64 bit Sieve application (Proth) which of course I do not find in my current downloads folder. I have it stored somewhere else. Using this software, I find it to be very powerful, even though it does not use the resources that are provided by means of CUDA.

Yes, Julie.

Should add that I turned off (disabled) the CUDA feature before setting the machine in standby mode.

Checked my account. Several of the Seti@home tasks that were running while I was away became uploaded, but here we are back to the problem of reporting of the tasks.

This needs to be done manually most of the time, although I notice that at times the server "picks" up the finished tasks and both uploads and possibly reports them.

The question then becomes - at which time is it me supposed to be doing the reporting of the finished tasks, when does it happen because the Boinc Manager chooses to do so locally and when is it supposed to happen by means of the server possiby requesting upload and subsequent reporting of any finished tasks?

Right now I choose to wait reporting the tasks until finishing them up in my task list. I know that if things are working, I will receive new tasks automatically when running either the second last task or last task that I am having in my task list.

- - -

Took a little more time reading through the Event Log.

I had the Windows login screen (just a click button) in front of me when turning the monitor on.

For some reason, the computer may have turned back on again after about one hour of standby mode and resumed operations.

Tasks apparently can not be run when in standby or rest mode. Also all the running programs and services are being stopped before entering standby mode.

But what then makes the system turn back on once again - is it because of an external event, since I am still connected to a network?

Apparently still some unanswered questions here.

even when the computer is in standby or rest mode?

My computers don't crunch in rest mode or standby. They do crunch though when I just exit Boinc Manager.

Thanks, Julie!

By the way, I encountered a slight problem last night.

My computer room is just besides my sleeping room. I was thinking of starting up one of the PrimeGrid Genefer World Record CUDA tasks before going to bed, but this time the sound from the fans on the graphics card became noticeable even through the wall.

So instead of shutting the computer down, I rather chose to exit Boinc Manager and put the machine into rest mode. When entering the room a little while ago, I notice from the event log that the PrimeGrid Prime Sierpinski tasks which were running (5 of a total of 9) had become finished.

Yes, I know that exiting Boinc Manager does not necessarily shut down the services. But, is it supposed to continue running even when the computer is in standby or rest mode? For now I have not had a look in the Windows help system regarding this feature.

Anyone having some more information regarding this little thing?

If it really works out, perhaps the CUDA tasks (both Seti@home and Genefer may be run at a selected time).

As as example, I know from the days of Windows 3.1 and Windows XP that certain events are being scheduled to run at given times. Is this a feature that may be added to the use of Boinc Manager as well?

By the way, if any scheduler is a built-in feature in Windows Ultimate, I have not had a look at it yet.

Thank you!

Here is a possible answer to an ever returning question which supposedly is lacking a finite answer.

By means of just reading through these web-pages.

The universe is known to be expanding, possibly in stages, sometimes slower, sometimes faster.

This despite the fact that gravity is the most fundamental force known to exist in nature.

The notion of time may possibly be ridiculed by scientists, but not so when it comes to the force of gravity.

Also we happen to know that evolution is a real fact and whether or not it is random or not is leading to constant, although gradual change. We know how things were yesterday and may deduce by means of historical facts how they were a million years ago as well, but still we are unable to know what will happen tomorrow or even one million years into the future.

Definitely time is only constant to a specific observer. Depending on both gravity and speed, time is a changing factor.

Life as we know it is assumed to be a result of evolution. We do not see evolution only when it comes to biological life, but also in the way stars, galaxies and even clusters of galaxies are forming in space.

Both galaxies as well as clusters and superclusters are assumed to be formed as a result of the remains of the Big Bang contracting as a result of gravity despite the universe expanding as a whole as a result of inflation.

Galaxies may be assumed to be more or less equally distributed in space, but at some places there happens to be huge voids, where at other places again galaxies conglomerate and form big accumulations.

We tend to believe in gravity as being a uniform force of nature. Gravity contracts dust from the Big Bang creating galaxies and clusters of galaxies.

Galaxies are known to be both young and old, large and small. The distance factor is not the main one here.

If you happen to be an astronomer, you may well know that there are some very interesting galaxies being found in the Virgo Cluster of galaxies which have a great resemblance to similar galaxies found in the Coma Cluster of galaxies which is thought of as being some 5-10 times more distant.

There happens to be a constant battle between mathematicians, physicists, chemists and biologists about where or in which way to best interpret the most important aspects of the universe. Is it all about cosmological inflation as a result of the Big Bang, or is it all about evolution of species instead?

Some facts about how things are working out are being explained by observing events as they are happening here on earth.

Other facts are best being comprehended by means of observing objects that are found in space.

Such objects includes everything we know from red and brown dwarfs through galaxies and galaxy clusters and their counterparts, namely neutron stars and black holes.

Mathematicians and physicists are well known to be able to prove given facts. But both Werner von Heissenberg and Albert Einstein are known for principles like the uncertainty principle and the fact that gravity is supposed to be bending both space as well as time.

Here, locally, from my education from school, there is the general rule of thumb which reads "S.I.V" - meaning acid in water. This means that when you want to mix acid with something else, first pour water in the bottle, then add the acid next.

And NOT the opposite way around.

Just another example that even though you may possibly do it the opposite way, logic and the way things reasonably are assumed to be working out and connected to each other is based on given and rational laws of physics as they are supposed to be working.

One project under BOINC is Climate Prediction. I do not run this project because I am unable to download any climate models.

Also, another problem with climate prediction is how to possibly separate the human factor from the natural factor.

If a climate model is supposed to start up with a totally frozen world, is it worth 1 or 2 million seconds of processing time in order to possibly get a result that may be something different? At best, this question probably is an open one, lacking a finite answer to the question.

Those scientists which end up being not biologists, but rather paleontologists instead may delve into the question about which role dinosaurs played when it comes to the evolution of the earth. These creatures were dominant for some 150-175 million years before almost instantly vanishing in an asteroid impact some 65 million years ago.

At the same time as dinosaurs reigned the world, we also happen to know that both mammals, plants, bacteria and viruses were also present at the same time.

We also know that in addition to dinosaurs being both plant eaters, reptiles and carcass, they were living both on land as well as in the sea and also in the air. They ended up being as they were both as a result of the conditions they were living in as well as the genetical chemistry which decided what they were supposed to be.

The question then becomes as follows:

Is it easier to carry out science on the known versus the unknown?

It all is about factors and how these factors relate to each other. We all know that a crocodile is supposed to be eating a zebra in order to survive and we may occasionally think of this as being a brutal, but still necessary way of life.

Also we know that after a long and harsh winter, life is once again known to be flourishing. Winter gives way for summer and when the summer is over, we once again are returning back to the harsh winter. Definitely spring and autumn are two seasons of the year to be loved as well, but often spring is only a prelude to the upcoming winter.

Evolution is not only about change and adaptation, it is also about the cycle of life.

Much of life as we know it here on earth is as a result of plant life. The green color being associated with plants is a result of photosynthesis, in which carbon dioxide is being absorbed from the earth and converted into oxygen. This process both consumes as well as releases energy as an added product (possibly someone else are better than explaining this) and at least we are able to get clean air as the end product of this cyclic process.

From all of this we also are able to conclude that life starts up with birth and ends up in death. Whether or not we are able to reach 2 months, 20 years, or 80 years old of age, we assume that our life span may supposedly be already pre-determined or destined and that only sudden changes other than these ones are affecting the way this is supposed to be.

To many people, life is synonymous with religion and faith. Other people seek an explanation for certain events by means of scientific research which does not include this a factor. When it is not all about the divine, it possibly becomes easier to believe in the "not-so-straight" than the "straight".

Again, many scientists better believe of making science out of what is thought to be just that "straight" than the opposite way around. Doing things the first way better leads to a chance of getting a successful result as well as also being believed by others when it comes to the results being obtained in such a way.

In conclusion, both the notion of life as well as death may be associated by some people with the notion of religion.

We do not know what happens before we were born and we do not know what is supposed to happen when we pass away. If you are unable to believe, at least you may be able to give an answer to both the "straight" things as well as those "not-so-straight things.

In this way of doing things you are supposed to be carrying out valuable science.

Apparently missing a "s" lately.

Anyway, back again after a couple of problems once more.

I tried testing with a graphics card which was originally meant for another computer purchase while having another clean-up, but that card has two light diods which became somewhat uncomfortable after dark.

Also I am once again running on 8 GB of RAM, not 4 GB which made things not running too well a little earlier on. For now I have not inserted the Sound Blaster card, only one of the GTX680 is currently mounted inside.

Checking out the motherboard inside, I notice that there are a total of four different USB connector plugs. Also, the manual makes an important point of never attaching an IEEE 1394 (Firewire) to a USB connector. In addition to two longer "external type" USB cable connectors mounted inside, there are also sound connectors for HD Audio and AC97 in addition to the mentioned USB and IEEE 1394 connectors.

When an external sound card is not being inserted, at least the AC97 or HD Audio connectors can not be directly attached either.

So if things are not working as they should when I attach a monitor and try booting up, I will need to redo everything and try it once more. This is what happened and I had to wait to the next day before continuing.

In the end I am happy to know that I am able to get it back up and running again, but being able to have access to decent sound which is compatible with the hardware available (in this case the speakers) is one of the most important points when working with a computer.

The Lord perhaps?

Hi Wiggo!

If a gaussian score ever reached 10^-17 when it comes to score (that is 0.00000000000000001), would you ever make a speculation about whether or not a possible E.T. was being the reason or source for such a possible score?

Or maybe the score rather wa 10^17 (+17) instead?

Just that little detail is what makes this project that stupid.

You are not supposed to believe.

Time to moderate, perhaps?

Supposedly discoveries goes by their name(s).

Did I perhaps forget something?

Found this video:

Hubble - 15 Years of Discovery (2005)

We should be thankful for the Hubble Space Telescope.

Without it, we would not have known much of what we currently know about distant objects and structures in the universe.
