The possibility that one day in the near or in the far future the people no longer walk on earth anymore isn't any science fiction.

The Nature one day it will make from us like with the Dinosaurs before some good fossils. Once the Nature decide it's over with us we will follow the faith of the Dinosaurs.

I know its crazy to say something like this, but from the other side all what we know from the past of earth history is that 5 Mass extinctions took place and as you know the process of evolution is an open process, just in case some of us believe we are the end of this process and nothing else can replace us, or even much worst remove us from the earth forever.

Hi Petros,

The file is named "hosts" and is in your /root/etc directory. Edit it as Admin and add that line. If you add it at the end of the file be sure to hit Enter, I've heard that a missing CR/LF *may* cause it to not work. (not sure about that but it can't hurt.)

Log off and on for the system to read the file; there may be another way to do that but it works for me.

Luck!


Thank you Sir for your help!

Yes it worked, my client has downloaded of all wus after a new log in!

I have all email addresses of the European Commission and the contact emails and telephone numbers for other countries too.

Believe it or not the Eu commission has one bureau in Washington too which means SETI users from USA they can take part on this action and together we can try to help SETI.

Now all we need is one good short letter with good arguments why we are asking the EU to fund SETI.If anyone of you can wright something that we can use it as Template/example it will be really nice.


Hi Helsionium,

the EU Program for a non EU Applicants organizations/institute called CORDI and the University of California at Berkeley can ask for financial support from the EU from these both addresses:

http://cordis.europa.eu/fp7/dc/index.cfm?fuseaction=UserSite.FP7DetailsCallPage&call_id=139

or the EU Commission delegation in Washington:

European Union - Delegation of the European Commission to the United States
2300 M Street, NW, Washington, DC 20037
Telephone: (202) 862-9500 Fax: (202) 429-1766

Some data of the current CORDIS EU packet for space programs:
Publication Date: 03 September 2008

Budget: € 51.500.000

Deadline: 04 December 2008 at 17:00:00 (Brussels local time)

As you can see the EU has a budget of 51,5 millions euro for space programms the SETI Administration can send a request for support and with a little bit luck perhaps the EU will help.

Thats true, some or lots of local EU bureaus will react exactly this way and for this reason i suggest to wright a good letter direct to EU Commission too.

These guys there (EU Commission) they decide where,how,when and how much the EU will spend annually and believe me a part of the money goes to Science projects.

About near a 5% of the budget they spend goes in projects and organizations out of EU and Berkeley it's outside of EU.

All we have to do it's to bring our request on the Table, once this topic is in agenda then they have to decide between a yes or no, in this case we have the 50% good chance that some EU spends will go to SETI.

I live in EU and im paying my taxes like all of you who lives in EU and it's my and your good right to ask our politicians to spend some of our taxes to the SETI project.

Here i have the page of the EU Commission: http://ec.europa.eu/ - please choose your language and find more informations about how we can contact them and how we can ''push'' them at least to put our issue in their agenda.
Believe me if they receive a dozen of letters/emails from people from all EU countries we have a good chance to help and support SETI.

@ all
One EU bureau or department of the EU Commission is for foreign citizens/organizations/institute and the Berkeley University as you know it's an education institute.
Still i don't have the address but if we can find the address/homepage of this bureau/department we can share it with all SETI users around the world to ask the EU Commission to support SETI.

Ill be back later or tomorrow with many informations i can find what we can do to support SETI.

Hi dear friends from Europe!

It's time for all of us who live in Europe to do something to help SETI. As you know the Berkeley University of California started this project and spends every year lots of money to keep it alive.

The last time as you can see the project needs new and better Hardware equipment and for this the project needs more money.

Now its time for all of us who live in Europe to do something to support the SETI project.

Can we do something to help SETI ? YES we can do!

We can contact the European Commission and the local EU bureaus. All European citizens they have the right to ask / request your local EU bureau and of course the EU commission to fund / support a project. It's your/our good right.

I don't know if the EU commission it's gonna support and fund SETI, but we don't have nothing to lose. We have just to try and ask it!

Anyone of you who can wright in perfect English a very nice application/ letter please do it for all of us and then we can post/ send it to the EU Commission and our local EU bureaus asking our politicians to help SETI.

Other ideas, proposals or whatever are welcome!

SETI needs our support and we can help!

I've checked the seti directory too, both tasks are COMPLETED, UPLOADED AND REPORTED , but on my account they are still < in progress> status. I can't understand it!

I'd like to make clear at this point that i never touched any of the tasks, or files of my client.

Dann gehören sie wohl in diese Kategorie, nur dass diesmal das Problem beim Upload und nicht beim Download aufgetreten ist. Schade um die verschwendete Rechenzeit (und credits :-).

I just said that those apparantly belong to another type of ghost tasks (upload-wise instead of download).

Gruß,
Gundolf


I took a look inside the stdoutdae.txt and stdoutdae.old and i couldn't find them which means they are ghost tasks. They came never to my computer.

Gundolf ich bedanke mich vielmals für deinen hilfe!

Schönen tag noch.

The problem isn't my client, both tasks are completed and uploaded normally but on my tasks page they have < in progress > status.

Are they uploaded and reported? If not, if they are still listed as "Ready to report" in your Tasks tab, they'll remain in < in progress > status on task page.

Hi Dotsch,
thank you for your reply !

The problem isn't my client, both tasks are completed and uploaded normally but on my tasks page they have < in progress > status.

At my opinion something went wrong after the upload or whatever and they are still green colorized as not completed.
