Well the ignore list works :)

Seriously? Have I offended everyone so much that I'm on ignore? If that is the case I's surely like to know what it is I said...

Thanks for the help. What I did was exit BOINC and restart and that seemed to give it the boot in the nether regions it needed.

I have 2 completed BOINC work units waiting to be reported. They've been completed for several hours. I checked the messages and there's been no attempt to contact the server to report the completed units or download new units. There's no message on the S@H2 homepage indicating a problem. Anyone else having this problem?

Interesting post, Paul, but I can't for the life of me figure out exactly what you're trying to say. Sorry!

I would recommend the Best of Carson. I got it several years ago as a 4 tape set on VHs. There are many priceless moments on it.

Re Starship Troopers, did you see the movie? What a bunch of trash that was! On topic, my favorite has always been Heinlein, my favorite of his The Moon is a Harsh Mistress. I'd like to see a movie made of it, but I think maybe a female director is in order, because Heinlein obviously was in touch with his feminine side.

To those who want all of us to believe as they do I submit the following. All credit to the late John Lennon:

Imagine there's no heaven,
It's easy if you try,
No hell below us,
Above us only sky.
Imagine all the people,
Living for today yu-huh.
Imagine there's no countries,
It isn't hard to do,
Nothing to kill or die for,
And no religion too.
Imagine all the people,
Living life in peace yu-huh.
You may say I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope some day you'll join us,
And the world will be as one.
Imagine no possesions,
I wonder if you can,
No need for greed or hunger,
A brotherhood of man.
Imagine all the people,
Sharing all the world yu-huh.
You may say I'm a dreamer ...
53) Message boards : Cafe SETI : Most graphic and disturbing movie scene ever? (Message 46013)

The scariest movie scene I ever remember was when I was about 6, my parents took me to the drive-in to see Rodan. There is a scene, before Rodan becomes a flying beast, where there are some people walking through a flooded mine and something underwater keeps taking people down for the count. I had nightmares for months after that...when I could get to sleep at all!

I'm running the Boinc Beta version 4.09. It's been running O.K. for about the last month and a half.

As of last Thursday (11/4/04) it stopped receiving work units. My computer runs 24/7 over the weekend (6:00 PM Friday to 10:00 PM Monday) and so far hasn't received any new work units. There's been no update on the main page since Friday, and nothing said about any problems.

Anyone have any ideas?

Don't know for sure what's going on but I've been trying to update my forum preferences for 2 weeks; after I click on the update button nothing happens. My guess is they've turned the bloody thing off.

I got my last new work unit as follows:

SETI@home - 2004-09-27 03:24:51 - Finished download of 06my04aa.15945.21650.711094.93

The scheduler stopped responding as follows:

SETI@home - 2004-09-27 12:35:00 - No schedulers responded

It's been down ever since (all times Pacific Daylight Time).

Yes, Jack, I am an idiot but I'm studying to be a moron. The test is really, really hard, but I hope to get there someday...maybe after I learn to master the art of waving bye-bye!
