And now the addiction starts. Minimising processes on your own machine in order to maximise SETI throughput. Sneaking a SETI client onto machines at work/uni/girlfriends house.

One of us... one of us...


:D

Mmmm. I suppose if I buy another HD or two I could make my Alphas do it too.. but they cost so much to run...but...seti... must...have....lots...numbers...

Yup, you are right. :lol:

BOINC looks kinda smelly.
transparently and securely downloads new application versions
WHaaaaa!? No. Its one thing downloading and running someone else's code. Its another to basically give them an account on your server and let them do what the hell they want. I can imagine this being a huge concern in universities etc, under the idea that some software can heuristically analyze the stuff they download and run, but from there it can download something else completely.
work units, on the order of 1 MB.
I have a 56k Line.. im buggered if I'm gonna let seti command it from my end :| I can't 'afford' (in bandwidth time) to download chunks of megs big!


Although yes I can see good parts.
BOINC distributes work based on host parameters
I like. and the
Eventually other distributed computing projects

looks cool too.

What y'all think?

As for the Hacking Law, first I heard of that. The point is that if you have permission to use the system, you are covered. I'm still not happy that people still label it Hacking, it's CRACKING.

I think he's rather just pissed of of living in Britain. He told me yesterday that he's going to live in Australia with his relatives for 5 months and he might not come back.

When did this become un-stickified? Or is it just that phpBB only allows so many sticky threads? (Oo-er missus 8O)

Or at least his ranking is, anyway.

And here's something I've learned recently....

Allow the windows screensaver version to blank the screen and your number crunching power goes way way way up.

:oops:


I'd have had a lot more units had I done that from day 1.
But I know now.... :twisted:

At your current rate of climb, you just might.


But then again, you might not.

Is that a HyperThreaded P4, Elizian? If so, you can run two instances of the SETI client on there for about 1.7 times the work unit throughput... ;)
