Now I understand the reason for sorting posts by rating. "It is like waking someone up to tell them they should be asleep." This happens a lot in hospitals, it's there way of making patients sleep through their stay 8-) |

Posted 14 Apr 2006 by m.mitch Post: Every debt is a credit, My being a B/A has me spending lots of time with programmers explaining such things for many hours :-). I get the inevitable; "What about adjustments?" Then I have to explain suspense accounts. Then there's the bank statement question; "But aren't credits good, I have them on my bank statement?" No, that's not your statement, it's the banks. They just send you a copy. Just remember, creditors: bad!". Ten minutes latter they'll be back; "Sorry, which one's the negative?" I love my job. I love my job. I love my job. I love my job. I love my job. I love my job. I just hate programmers :-) And, yes, I used to be one =8-D.... |

Posted 13 Apr 2006 by m.mitch Post: I thought this project did compress the files. Don't we download files with a Unix compression extention? Something like .tgz |

Posted 13 Apr 2006 by m.mitch Post: Just a note for those that suspend lhc when it has no work available: I believe that boinc does not modify the debt figures for suspended projects, so you may find that you crunch less lhc work than you would by allowing your host to poll the project (which really wastes very little cpu/network) I was wondering about that. What if I set it to no new work? |

Posted 10 Apr 2006 by m.mitch Post: I have Win98se and use 5.2.13 on one of my boxes without problem except for the known LHC WU's keep counting CPU cycles when they're paused. I wonder why they say preempted? It's not preempted unles the WU gives the result before it started 8-). I could live with that! I'll check that WU anyway and make sure it's not on any of my PC's. |

As long as it's pronounced "your anus" and "urine-es" because that just doesn't make any sense at all. Doesn't matter how they try and clean it up, they still get themselves in to a ship load of trouble 8-D |

I have temporarily shutdown all my other projects while LHC has WU's ;-). All I have to do now is check each day to make sure the suspended ones are not getting too close to deadlines! |

Posted 8 Apr 2006 by m.mitch Post:
Hey Peter, I like Trogs idea. Xtrem will fill up with heaps of very short WU's for the first few hours then settle down to a much more reasonable pace. Then all your PC's will have a project to draw on. As for the other, the only common point they all had, was a lack of common sense. You had deffined the criteria of the post quite well, I thought. That's what pissed me off about their attacks. I respond like that a bit, now and then 8-), but I usually hit and retreat. Couldn't retreat when it was you ;-). How stupid were some of those posts? They said "He should join other projects, blah, blah, blah.... else [statement of hate]..". So I said, "Peter is in a number of other projects!" But they kept saying the same thing, "other projects, other projects, other projects.." There are a lot of idiots out there, but not the truth! 8-D.. |

Posted 31 Mar 2006 by m.mitch Post: Sorry - aren't you all a bit off topic here? "slide rules and log tables". Hey, you must be my vintage. That's what we did at school. As soon as I got out, I was shown these humungus things that looked an awful lot like Star Treck hardware that did all that for me. I'd been robbed at school, in real life we could spend all our time fixing the problem not worry how accurate our slide rule was or how we should interprolate a few lines from a log book. All though, in the early days I was know to check the output against the "trusty" slide rules and log tables 8-) Oh, the other thing computers introduced in to the work force was "waiting". One couldn't leave the area until the job run finished, it might fail! |

Posted 31 Mar 2006 by m.mitch Post: Yeah a tricky one for sure. Yeah, look at that French team. WOW! Their huge and they did something very simmilar to what you suggested but they started before BOINC was released. Very smart move! Um, as for joining Lookers UK, well um, I think there is something in our charter 8-) PS I popped a link to this thread in our fora. We're now, unofficially, defacto sister teams :-) |

Posted 30 Mar 2006 by m.mitch Post: Yeah, my first computer-contacts have been with a pdp-11/10, and I remember these boot-straps ... Do you remember the first time someone could afford a second lot of 16K of RAM! Hell, the entire EDP department shut down, while we all watched through the glass in to the forbidden computer room while they put it in. Were only our Sysmgr and his two sysops could go 8-) and of course the DEC people with 16K of RAM. It might have ben 64K by then, it's all a bit long ago 8-) You actually jogged my memory then. I first started on punch cards and we programmed in some deviant of Fortran ;-) |
