1) Message boards : Cafe LHC : Anyone have some good song selections to share? (Message 14930) Posted 1 Oct 2006 by Snowcrash Post: Excellent link to comfortably numb. I remember seeing that live at Earl's Court, London. What wonderful memories. The The, Uncertain Smile (with Jools Holland) Orbital, Doctor? Easy Star All-Stars, Dub Side of the Moon. Alternative Sunday, Bloody Sunday
2) Message boards : Number crunching : When can we expect the next batch of wu's? (Message 14517) Posted 11 Aug 2006 by Snowcrash Post: Never heard of Cerebus. I thought it was a 3 headed dog (or was that fluffy?) until I just googled it. Apparently it's an aardvark on the edge. On the edge of what is not specified. BTW the Germans have no word for fluffy. Must get the German ver of Harry Potter. 1/42 of the time between WUs seems like the best definition to me.
3) Message boards : Number crunching : Why can't I get any work? (Message 14513) Posted 10 Aug 2006 by Snowcrash Post: I haven't had work for so long from this project it has gone 'inactive'. The last few batches of WUs have been small (in time if not amount). A picture paints a thousand words... graph of cobblestones awarded thru project Give it another year or so and there will be lots of work. They are still building the LHC and experiments.
4) Message boards : Number crunching : When can we expect the next batch of wu's? (Message 14512) Posted 9 Aug 2006 by Snowcrash Post: I was using an aardvark as a unit of time. I maybe the first to do this. You may only use an aardvark as a unit of time if you have prior consent by said aardvark, in writing and witnessed by said aardvarks parents. Really, I just like the word aardvark. ;o)
5) Message boards : Number crunching : When can we expect the next batch of wu's? (Message 14505) Posted 8 Aug 2006 by Snowcrash Post: I to check the LHC@home website for new work most days and have missed the last 3-4 times work has been sent out. I think this is mainly 'cos only a few WUs have been sent out. I would just like to point out that the LHC is not finished yet. Completion is set for mid 2007 and experiments to start in 2008. I think the WUs given are for magnetic test purposes. When the LHC experiments (ATLAS etc.) are gathering data it will be equivalent to the data throughput of the whole of the euro telecom's systems. This should give everyone enough WUs. Here are some links you may find interesting... LHC homepage Cryoqenics overview I believe 42 aardvarks is the average time between WUs given out. Where 1 aardvark is not equivalent to anything.
6) Questions and Answers : Preferences : LHC will only get one work unit (Message 13164) Posted 28 Mar 2006 by Snowcrash Post: You are lucky to get one here. This project has been out of work for a few weeks. This is a normal thing at this project btw. There is normally a break between studies. Thanks for your reply. Me, the dumb ass, posted on the wrong forum. Meant to be predictor@home. I notice work is back on. S
7) Questions and Answers : Preferences : LHC will only get one work unit (Message 13090) Posted 21 Mar 2006 by Snowcrash Post: I have my preferences set to 'contact every 1 day' and until recently LHC would get about 6-8 WUs. Now it will only get 1 WU. I also have SETI project in BOINC and that is working fine. Any help would be welcome. S
8) Message boards : LHC@home Science : Higgs boson (Message 12732) Posted 13 Feb 2006 by Snowcrash Post: Is a rotating magnetic field of 25 Tesla enough to produce Higgs Bosons? This is the field strength, apparently, required to get a spaceship of 150 tons into orbit. Just a thought. Anyone?
