The ONLY frustrating part for me is seeing all you newbies, within the last 5 - 10 years, that have 3, 4, 5 TIMES as many work units done than I do :-( I think that most of us just use our own PC's and not our work or business PC's. If you have access and allowed then good for you but no good being frustrated because you don't. Crunch on and remember that Proud Founder and member of Have a look at my WebCam |

The project is suspended because of a database problem. It should be available soon. Just think on this: Ms. Mead was duped by the islanders because she wanted to believe the nonsense that they trolled her with about their lives. Especially the sex. |

Trolling is making statements to provoke a negative response. Story telling was part of their culture, she was most interested in the stories about sex, so those were the type of stories they told her. Grant Darwin NT |

[quote]The ONLY frustrating part for me is seeing all you newbies, within the last 5 - 10 years, that have 3, 4, 5 TIMES as many work units done than I do :-( Ha-ha! I've got 18 years on this project (pre-dating BOINC) and I'm only a 6.5M credits. Still, that puts me in the top 1.05% worldwide, though only for my longevity. I've never had access to anything more powerful than modest consumer hardware. I'm working to move up the ranks -- I'm in a new job where I have a 4 processor Xeon server, (32 cores total) with an nVidia card installed. I use it for work, however, CPU utilization is in the 1% range. Just last week I installed BOINC -- I've been running it at 25-33% during the day due to fan noise (and keeping this side project under the radar) and 100% 8pm-8am, plus all weekend. My average credits/day jumped from about 5,500 to over 14,000 and the average has not yet leveled out. Just overnight last night, I ran out of work except a few for the GPU and just ran out of those.

Might have taken thousands of years for a message to have reached us so a couple of weeks of lost data isn't much in the scheme of life :) It should be easy enough to get more heat by choosing a backup BOINC project to run while SETI@home is not available, then go through the normal procedure of adding that project but assign it a zero percentage of the time on your computer so that your computer will only download tasks from the backup project when it can't get any from SETI@home. |

and keeping this side project under the radar Rick Spies, if your employer hasn't authorized that, it is against the rules here and could very well cost you your job. |

Status update: Well that didn't happen. Oh well. |

I have 17 years now, and this isn't the first time thinks have gone wrong, just the nature of the beast. I'll be hanging around for many years to come. Hope you guys find the problem. Good luck. |

and keeping this side project under the radar I'm not concerned. There is a Seti@Home team for the company with close to 1000 members using more than 2500 computers which have generated more than 600M credits. Still, you are making me think about it. |

and keeping this side project under the radar In that case I have one question why are you "keeping this side project under the radar" if the company has a team? |

Maybe it's time to highlight the NEZ fallout again. Even if you have permission and the authority to run BOINC on work computers, get it in writing in case someone comes along that wants to get rid of you. Grant Darwin NT |

and keeping this side project under the radar . . Reading through all the stuff from that period it seems NEZ was setup to a large extent. More a political scapegoat then a villain. But it does highlight the risks of implementing BOINC/Seti in an environment which you do not own. Stephen :( |
