Account data for bowlingguy300 LHC@home LHC@home member since 1 Sep 2004 Country United States Total credit 3,825.87 Recent average credit 5.48 Team None Computers hidden Message board posts 13 Thanks Shadowcats. It's a bit strange he said he's looked at my profile and can't find he's own!! Doh! Me thinks he doth protest too much. Hey, what about that other post, "reached daily quota of 100 results". How do you reckon that can be done? I could only get abot 16 or so at a time on most of my PC's.
42) Message boards : Team invites : Australian Alliance (Message 14020) Posted 17 Jun 2006 by m.mitch Post: I invite all Australians to join a team involved in all BOINC projects, become part of the Australian Alliance and help compete with large teams from other countries. We have an active web site, forum and great team members. If you're interested please click on the link in my signature. Why start a new team at the bottom of the pack, when we are already within striking distance of the top 30? We are already ranked 33 out of almost 48,000 teams in the world for combined BOINC projects. We're the number 1 Aussie team, with more than 28 Million credits. Australian name, for ALL Aussie crunchers. Team website and forum, and infrastructure available to grow it. The team is active in all current BOINC projects. We have members all over the country and quite a few expats overseas. Your existing individual credits will not be lost. Future credits from all projects will help build a powerful alliance. Together we could not only be the top Australian team, but well up in the world stats. Were always open to new suggestions and new members. Come and look us over - You can check out our web site by clicking on the team logo below and also have a look around our forum. You can join by clicking on the "Join.." hyperlink and follow the prompts. You can ask for assistance in the forum too.

I think you have three user ID's.
44) Message boards : Number crunching : Stuck resullts in database?? (Message 14018) Posted 17 Jun 2006 by m.mitch Post: Maybe you won't get the info asking the same thing from time to time. Clearly I was unclear or you have a IQ problem.
45) Message boards : Number crunching : Stuck resullts in database?? (Message 13994) Posted 15 Jun 2006 by m.mitch Post: I fear I was a little unclear. I have read most of the other posts on this matter. I was just wondering if there was any hope that the DB can cleaned up or is the project going to make do and get orphaned records that I assume are like those I noted above.
46) Message boards : Number crunching : I think we should restrict work units (Message 13980) Posted 14 Jun 2006 by m.mitch Post: wow this is taking forever for you guys to finsh your over cached WU's... what a joke. What over cache? These ones will be lost or abandoned WU's. Redundant now as the quorums have well and truly been met. Any in that category are orphaned in the DB. Know problem and no fix yet. I see you have your computers hidden so we can't tell what you've done, hmmm.

50) Message boards : Number crunching : I think we should restrict work units (Message 13922) Posted 10 Jun 2006 by m.mitch Post: I don't know. I think it all may be a bit harsh. I fit in to the category of un-returned results. It happens. BOINC restarted on one of my PC's and hung for a while then came up empty. I shut it down and it seemed to restart okay. But latter when checking LHC I found a number of unfinished WU's that should have timed out by now. It wouldn't be the only scenario and it would take to many users for that problem to add up but that's why LHC have so much redundancy. If it were a problem the project would be modified. I'm doing the best I can, sometimes I make mistakes.

The team the credits, the science, making new friends and sharing ideas across so many boundaries and it helps someone. Perhaps many someones. And it keeps my computers off the street ;-) Sums it up in a nutshell for me........ Well said, Mike! I thought so too. Thankyou 8-)
55) Message boards : Number crunching : I think we should restrict work units (Message 13792) Posted 30 May 2006 by m.mitch Post: I think you've got the right idea there Gas Giant. If there was a problem, the project would have changed something by now. I don't know that the staff don't care about us, I think Chrulle said they are between grad students at the moment. It may take a while for things to show up but one of the main reasons I liked LHC so much was that project staff were involved with the message boards. So that's how you spell "piqued", I'll have to keep a copy of that ;-).
56) Message boards : Number crunching : I think we should restrict work units (Message 13790) Posted 30 May 2006 by m.mitch Post: My word - we are all sensitive today. No offence intended here, and none taken. However, I will say this: If the cap fits, wear it! Happy crunching! I don't mind wearing it ;-) But I don't see the problem with people who crunch projects for the credits or any other reason, so long as we have fun. I enjoy the whole thing. The team the credits, the science, making new friends and sharing ideas across so many boundaries and it helps someone. Perhaps many someones. And it keeps my computers off the street ;-)
57) Message boards : Cafe LHC : The 12 Universal Keys of GOD LAST UPDATE 1.07 (Message 13783) Posted 29 May 2006 by m.mitch Post: Can someone help me with this question. I've noticed that NGC 1300,2442,1365 and our Milky Way Galaxy all have a Bar of stars at the center. Does this have anything in common with the modal of the gravity wave center? What forms the bar? Ernie S Team Art Bell God Bless Mike H from another Boinc project (Einstein@home) helped me with the question. I always like to share... Ernie S In all the years that bars have been observed, I don't think a sustained explanation has been found. The difficulty is what is visible vs what is not. Models based purely on luminous matter distribution run into difficulties, as the observed tangential velocities of stars as a function of radial distance from galactic centre doesn't fall off fast enough. This eventually lead to the concept of 'dark matter' which, by definition, allegedly contributes to such dynamics but is unseen. ( Don't confuse this with 'dark energy' which refers to a quite unrelated idea on a vaster cosmological scale ) Until a full accounting is achieved of all gravitationally active elements then explanations of all structural patterns remain moot. Cheers, Mike In all the years that bars.........structural patterns remain moot. I've just looked a few things up. If we judge matters upon visible stuff alone, then the overall/average tangential velocities of stars in a galaxy should fall off like the inverse square root of the radius from galactic centre. This is very similiar to our own solar system, and is a 'Keplerian' distribution if you like. However for very many galaxies looked at to date the measured velocities are pretty constant ( ie. not subsiding ) with radius, and out to a considerable distance too. It is posed therefore that a globular distribution of invisible material ( aka dark matter ), also centred on the galactic centre as visibly defined, would explain things. If so one can deduce some properties of said dark matter. Now some observations have shown that no edge has yet to be defined for the extension of such dark matter into intergalactic space. I think the motions of smaller satellite galaxies similiar to our Magellenic clouds in the Milky Way were considered here. This raises the serious possibility of vast extensions of dark matter into what are otherwise deemed 'voids', many galactic radii away. Studies of gravitational lensing of light from some galaxy clusters have deduced the presence of considerable non-luminous mass that contributes to the bending of the light. ( The entire material produces multiple images of some other galaxy or object well behind the cluster as viewed by us. By analysing the images carefully one can uniquely determine the mass distribution that produced it ). Cheers, Mike I think all this predefinded stuff is a nonsense. Bill Gates was testing his code and there was a big bang and all the stars appeared.

No offence intended. This was a gentle dig aimed at the 'credit-racers', of whom you claim you're not one. But judging by your sensitivity to it I'd guess that you are 'racing' more than you let on. You're not a very happy camper today, are you Mike? Three steamed up posts in one day. :-) SMILE, lifes short.
