may I remind all and sunder that ALL GPU apps are still in ALPHA?

that means IF you run them you need to pay VERY CLOSE attention to your hosts and report invalids and inconclusives that look like they will go invalid. Alpha apps are very likely to still have problems. Only when they have been promoted to beta the dev is fairly certain they are good. (and sometimes not even then).

IOW when you run an alpha app you need to be aware that you are TESTING it.
When you have the hood open on the car, you wouldn't let your kid behind the wheel, now would you?
Just running an alpha app is irresponsible. You might as well give the car keys to your kid when you are not sure the brakes work.

I don;t want to discourage people to alpha test. I just want to make sure you know exactly what you are doing, why you are doing it and what you need to look out for when doing it.

We got sucked into the hype. Eric and I decided that we just couldn't wait until after the holidays, so we went and saw Star Wars this evening.

Meh.

I won't give anything major away but... meh.

I think that I'm just too old for modern movies. I miss dialogue. It's almost like Hollywood has returned to silent movies. Wait. I take that back. There was actually nothing silent about this movie. My ears were constantly bombarded by the sounds of weapons firing and stuff exploding.

Call me an old fuddy-duddy, but I prefer plot, intrigue and dialogue in the movies I see.

I have no desire to see this movie again.

Congratulations everybody on their recent milestones!

Looks like I just hit 4kk :-)

Sorry, no time to read the whole thread, just wondering if there are any US citizens here who really wanna see Trump as next president?

I am seriously leaning that way.
I know some of his rhetoric is off the cuff, but I can think of no other person other than Trump that could finally cut through the bull in Washington, disrupt the 'good ol boy' network and possibly get our government to start working for the people they represent again.
Those in power are seriously scared of this guy, and not for his policies, but for his threat to their stranglehold on power and corruption.

Something you can't see, hear or smell. A designer virus that spreads and kills before you can react and do something about it.

I can't get Boinc to a reliable state with ANY kind of OC going on, even the slightest bit. Is there something specific I need to tweak for Boinc or is it just a bad idea to OC for it? I have an otherwise fairly stable overclock, passed multiple stress tests for 6-8 hours each and the temps are also pretty comfortable. Running Boinc though, will result to random BSODs, from 5 minutes in to 3 hours in, I can't really replicate it. Anyone has had any better luck with overclocking and crunching?

PS: It's a 5820k, pushed to 4.5ghz. Boinc wasn't stable at even 3.9ghz, which is just 0.1 more than the default turbo speeds of this cpu.

Hi,

the Seti CPU applications, both Multibeam and Astropulse, are higly optimized. They utilize the CPU to the maximum and there is a lot of heat generated. Most applications sit idle and have time for the heat to dissipate. Thats why your OC is unstable with Seti.

My choices are pay for it or do without. I'm not going to steal it.

Or wait for the reruns on cable or over the air.

Possibly. But probably trimmed to get in even more commercials.

Odds are it'll be in Klingonese. ;)

Not really a problem:

I have that book somewhere. It's not really all that useful. Besides, the TV and movie writers did NOT stick to what was in it after it was published.
