The Captcha shows up for me. Are you behind a corporate firewall? Is your firewall settings set on high?

Friends,
SUPERLINK@TECHNION server crash

To all those who is wondering what's going on with SUPERLINK@TECHNION project: our server's HDD crashed completely, and it will take us about one week to recover, hopefully less than that.
We do have backups, so user information is likely to be preserved.

1.) Yes, it's true that discussion on the 'Wate Question', pro or con, will in all likelyhood draw you a posting suspension. I drew a 60 dayer, and I was defending the project's right to ban anyone, for any reason they saw fit to, for the simple reason that a forum hosted on a private server is not a democracy. However deleting the accounts (and the ban bypassing sub-accounts and team accounts) was reserved for the most egregious 'crusaders', contrary to 'popular' belief.

Due to recent attacks on the Predictor@Home forums by a small group of malicious hackers we have enabled some restrictions in the forums. We apologize for the inconvenience this may cause our volunteers. As so often is the case a few bad apples can spoil the lot and their behavior has forced us to enforce policies we would prefer not to. The accounts used by the attackers have been deleted. Despite these issues, which we will weather, we continue to value your efforts and the resources you volunteer toward the scientific objectives of the Predictor@Home project.

Careful over in Predictor land, They tend to banish those with opinions contrary to dogma.

That much is certain, although certain Quixotic endeavors over there were based on some faulty premises, IMO.

They do however have a tendency to 'shoot the messenger' when you tell then things they don't want to hear, even when the news is on solid factual grounds. ;-)

Yeah, That's not a healthy place to be really.

Actually, free speech rights are rather simple: It prevents the government from interfering and gagging you...

This does not mean you get to say what you want, when you want no does it garauntee a right to social interaction.

Yep. These are private websites. You have no right to freedom of speech here or Predictor. Their toys, their rules.

The server is offline since 1 day now and the website is down too. The administrators will try to fix the hardware problem tomorrow but the server will be probably offline until Monday.

Thanks for your patience.

Where is the logo "Powered by Boinc" ?

LOL Nightbird - I hadn't noticed that!
But believe me - it is a BOINC project. Just ask Capn Avatar, Es99, Dogbytes....

that seems like low credits to me.... is that normal, I'm new...

I would like to examine the possibility only of the machine instruction level optimizations, it doesn't give more improvement than 15-20%.

I see here is a 'warzone' because of optimized apps.
Stupid rules and low organization...

Did anybody hear about virus infected apps?

Another update...

The RAID array has been rebuilt and fsck is now being run. I have been told that the server will be back on t'Internet by midnight.

At the moment, MundayWeb.com is pointing to a temporary location. As a result, once the server is back-up, it will take a few hours for the DNS changes to make their way around the world.

Apologies once again,

Neil.

This just in from email:

Einstein@Home experienced a major air-conditioning failure about 24 hours ago and will be off-line for at least another 24 hours.

Merci à toi,

je m'y emploi deja, mais je trouve ca dommage que l'on ne puisse les recuperer
quoiqu'il en soit g machine plus puissance qu'aupparavant et ca devrait aller plus vite. Je ne met plus que 3h30 par unité au lieu de 41h avant donc je devrait vite rattrapé.

bien a toi Seb
