Thank you Jord!

I figure the VirtualBox must be running and using extra resources on the computer unnecessarily.

In China, there is a book named "The Three Body Problem" and over eighty thousand people join a club about THIS BOOK on the Internet.

Some even have good ideas: Why we still have not found the aliens, if the aliens were born before us?
Some even have good ideas such as: Why we still have not found aliens, if the aliens were born before us?

If the aliens is born early than us, they will find us very easy.
If the aliens were born before us, they will find us easily.

Even it's 10,000 years, it is very not long in some way, so Mr. Liu think there is a dark forest in the universe.

Question: Then where are the aliens?

Every group wisdom living beings is like a gunner, they hide themselves in dark, if you make you being the light, you will be under attack.

Other groups of intelligent beings are like snipers, they hide themselves in darkness, if we come into the light, we will be attacked.


I thank 赵一燃 for posting this message because if they had not, I would not have heard about "The Three Body Problem". Now I want to get a copy of this book and read it!

I hope my additional examples will be seen and are of some use!

Best wishes for long life and prosperity. ~ Dennis
3) Questions and Answers : Windows : VirtualBox - What does it do? (Message 1673025)

I hope this is not a terribly redundant question but, I did search for "VirtualBox" before beginning to compose this question but found "0".

What is the relationship between BOINC and VirtualBox?

So, it is enough just to have VirtualBox on the computer "in support of" BOINC and I do not need to go in and create a Virtual Machine (VM) and do .. whatever with it?

Sorry if this is a really basic question but, I participated in SETI@Home many years ago and did not keep up with its evolution.

Thanks in advance!
