1) Message boards : Number crunching : SETI orphans (Message 2036648) Posted 8 Mar 2020 by OldPugVA Post: I have been here since 1999. Sorry to see this project go, but you would think that something would have happened by now. World Community Grid has a lot of worthwhile projects to contribute to. If we can't find ET, perhaps we can cure Childhood Cancer or figure out Africa Rainfall patterns...

2) Message boards : SETI@home Staff Blog : Sending Messages to ET: Just say no, for now. (Message 1648242) Posted 1 Mar 2015 by OldPugVA Post: Interesting points Dr. Korpela. Are you suggesting we are wasting out computer time on BOINC and we should spend our resources on other products?

3) Message boards : Science (non-SETI) : BOINC Projects and Legitimacy (Message 1484079) Posted 3 Mar 2014 by OldPugVA Post: I agree with you Bob. I do the same thing, but I have to keep wondering if there are projects that are 'listed' as legitimate projects, but are feeding research in terrorist activities. I don't have tin foil hats in my wardrobe, but this is the conservative side of me given the trend of Internet activities.

4) Message boards : Science (non-SETI) : BOINC Projects and Legitimacy (Message 1483605) Posted 2 Mar 2014 by OldPugVA Post: I recently reviewed the list of current projects. I fully embrace the BOINC idea for legitimate projects, but get concerned when I see projects listed as 'Private'. There is a concern that some projects may not be what they suggest. Are we providing processing power for nefarious efforts? Don't get me wrong. I have been contributing to SETI and Rosetta for a long time. I trust those projects, but... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_distributed_computing_projects

5) Message boards : Team Recruitment Center : We Need to Find Alternative Living Space!!! (Message 1483595) Posted 2 Mar 2014 by OldPugVA Post: The current political situation is not good. Clearly we are not able to get along here on Earth. Perhaps we need another planet to transfer to? SETI can help us get that 'cab' or help from another source. Join my pugs in searching for ET. We may need it some day!! PS - you know this is sarcasm ;)[/i]

6) Message boards : Team Recruitment Center : It's All about PUGS (Message 1114798) Posted 8 Jun 2011 by OldPugVA Post: With so many new planets out there, it is possible there are other Pugs just waiting for us to find them. Join our team - Pugs Helping Mankind http://setiathome.berkeley.edu/team_display.php?teamid=113131 Seriously though - this is a fun site and we enjoy using SETI as our idle computer resource. Looking forward to seeing some new people in the group.

7) Message boards : Cafe SETI : Anonomize now, sorry folks (Message 846053) Posted 28 Dec 2008 by OldPugVA Post: SETIzens? I hope we are not obligated to go by that label... I prefer PUGseti's

8) Message boards : Team Recruitment Center : Pugs Helping Mankind Looking for Some Processing Time (Message 846009) Posted 28 Dec 2008 by OldPugVA Post: Hello - we are Pugs and we sleep on the couch all day. That means the computer is not in use making all that processing power available to SETI. Come and join us to help find that elusive intelligence that is out there somewhere.

9) Questions and Answers : Web site : Remove Posted Message (Message 845689) Posted 27 Dec 2008 by OldPugVA Post: LOL - too funny. It was posted nearly 4 years ago. It is moot - just wanted to 'clean up' an old post.

10) Questions and Answers : Web site : Remove Posted Message (Message 845684) Posted 27 Dec 2008 by OldPugVA Post: How does a person remove (delete) a message posted by themself? I posted a message that I would like to remove...

11) Message boards : Number crunching : Uploads failing (Message 88096) Posted 19 Mar 2005 by OldPugVA Post: This project has been ridden with issues since moving to the BOINC client. How about getting your act together and moving forward or abandon this project? Find something that works. It appears we have competency issues here. If you performed this way in my organization, you would be shown to the door. Jeez...
