So, how's the closed :( beta going?
Does it have a gui screensaver? Or are they working on the computing now?

I'm not the LHC Alex. Just a number cruncher like everyone else here.

The computing isn"t the problem. They are downloading their basic client through BOINC and letting that client do its own thing. Unfortunately, it doesn
't follow all of the BOINC rules about downloading and time sharing.

There is no way to change the team once signed up. There are a few more difficulties.

Spreading URLs like that around is a bad thing to do. It's a closed pre-release project with many many issues that are best worked out with small groups of testers... not the general public at large.

Realize by spreading around unreleased project URLs like that you can help kill a project... it's bad PR for the project administrators and all involved when unfinished work is put out there for the world at large to see. The developers have reasons for keeping the URLs quiet until release time... it's not just out of spite.

I'd just ask everybody to refrain from signing up with or spreading the URL for the project (or any other pre-release project out there) until the project is released to the public. To do so any sooner is disrespectful to the people who have put so much blood, sweat, and tears in to making it as good as it can be.

I also agree that it is not good to spread URLs around for projects that do not want to be advertised yet.
