Enhanced APPS - If you change the program, alter the program, or delete/add portions to the software program that is 'crunching' the data collected by Team Seti...have you not again CHANGED the resulting data, which also makes the data collected from these machines USELESS since it is not a consistant, un-contaminated, controlled result? ALL data in ANY scientific study HAS to have a control factor that is un-disputable or ALL of the data collected is flawed and NOT VALID.

...scientific poll...

With regard to scoring issues:

RAC???? We don't need no stinkin' RAC! I run BOINC strictly to reduce thermal cycling of my hardware. :-)

'Do not lie with a man as one lies with a woman; that is detestable.'
(Leviticus 18:22)

'If a man lies with a man as one lies with a woman, both of them have
done what is detestable. They must be put to death; their blood will
be on their own heads.' (Leviticus 20:13)

Once again, it's not rocket science. Maybe you should try reading the Bible if you intend on questioning the actions of the church.

how do i make it down load more jobs ?

... momento ... defunct ...

...If you claim low, you WILL get what you claim! But you drag all the others down too (even the ones claiming the proper credits).

The biggest offender in this last class seems to be the non FPOPS clients....

20 bucks.

Match or beat. Then post here.

I'd *strongly* suggest that additional (above quorum needs) WUs *not* be sent till after reporting deadline.

This seems to be a 'no brainer'.
No where in this thread have I read a REASONABLE rational for sending more than the quorum needs.

You obviously weren't here in the days when the children were screaming like stuck pigs because it took more than an hour after they returned their result before they got their credit.

Again, in summary, it has been my observation that this new 'feature' has obsoleted any slower machines that can't get their results back before the second person does, thus negating any useful, scientific reason to keep crunching with them.

The new feature hasn't made slow machines obsolete from a science point of view- it's always been the case since only 2 results were needed for the qourum.

It may have always been the case, but for the third time, it has just become apparent to me. Still, since slower computers will almost never make it in before two faster processors return their results, they will always be doing redundant work. From my point of view, this makes them obsolete and useless.

Maybe what your observations about older cpu's is saying, is that most hosts are now run reliably enough that we do no longer need the third initial replication.
Initially the replication = quorum + 1 was started because over 25% of results returned were late or bad.

I have the EXACT same situation...and the EXACT same problem.
None of my other machines have this issue, but this is the first Vista (crowd groans in the background).

I've double-double checked that the location of the client (school) is being picked up by the client & the profile properly says NO work when busy.

I had, after many many attempts, finally convinced the owner to run BOINC on their brand new Vista machine promissing that BOINC would suspend when they were using their computer. Well, I've been made a liar. I have had to 100% disable that particular client because of this issue.

Could it be because we (Shane & I) are running BOINC as a service?

Shane posted this 16 days ago, and still no response?

...with great power comes great responsibility? ;o)

Well, I've just set up a release announcement thread at lunatics.at.

The way it works is like this:

Firstly and most importantly, you have to be registered there.

Visit the announcements thread linked above, and click on the "NOTIFY" icon above the post. You will be asked whether you really want to be notified about new posts to this thread. Choose Yes, then visit this link in your profileand check the box that says "receive important announcements and notifications by email", it's the first one.

That's it.

It's designed to be minimally obtrusive. Meaning, if you do not visit the thread in a while and new messages are posted, you'll still only be notified of the first one. A little work on your part is still involved, basically, when you receive the announcement, go grab a new app ;o)

HTH,
Simon.

Hope this is better...

Very nice.

That follows my understanding of the system.

Just one gray area... How do the screensavers fit in there?...


Nice work,

Cheers,
Martin

Can you please verify your prefs (open a shell/terminal, cd to the BOINC directory and do a "grep limit global*xml").
Could you please also try to change of some variables at the prefs and reupdate it again.
