Whats up with your server? I tried since 3am in the morning to reach the boinc-server at lhcathome.cern.ch. Every hour the access is interrupted. 5pm my hosts says something about lost connection to server and/or check your proxy-settings. I pinged your server and get absolutly nothing. IP couldn't resolved is also not listed in dns. Your serverstatus-page is also a bad joke. Your Upload/Download and Scheduler is disabled since a long time but units comes and goes? IMO, seems to be that most government-based projects acts not as professional as it should be. Every business that acts like yours could normally close his doors and switch off the lights. I hope we will be informed what happened in the last 24hrs.

Every business that acts like yours could normally close his doors and switch off the lights.IMO, you should crack open a beer and chill. First of all, we aren't trying to make a profit; we're trying to make a Large Hadron Collider. Second, science can be messy sometimes; get used to it. Third, LHC@home doesn't really need to worry THAT much about "customer satisfaction" -- our user base is very strong, and most of us are pathologically dedicated to this project. I hope you have patience with LHC@home and crunch along with us now and in the future! -Daxa _______ "Three quarks for Muster Mark!" . . . . . . . - James Joyce, Finnegans Wake . . . .
