Post: It's CMS that's not working for me. So far, everything else seems fine. Perhaps the short break I took from LHC saved our relationship. |

Post: It broke LHC for me again. On a clean install, on a brand new computer. I am so tired of this happening. Not blaming you guys; there's clearly important info that's not being passed on to project managers somewhere. |

CMS Tasks Failing
(Message 43354)
Posted 14 Sep 2020 by anarchic teapot
Post: I tried switching off CMS tasks in my Preferences... It doesn't work. In desperation I've stopped all work from the project. Thankfully, LHC *does* respect that (there's a number that don't). However, if it's any help, I can conform that CMS is broken even with a clean install on a brand new computer. |

Posted 13 Apr 2007 by anarchic teapot
Post: I still find this to be the project that best proves the BOINC system is a success. There is no way a stand alone project could survive with with the intermittent supply of work that this project has had since its launch. With BOINC it is no big deal it just sits idle on hosts until work is available then it goes into action. Hear, hear! |

Posted 7 Apr 2007 by anarchic teapot
Post: What about people who have attached, zero credit, zero rac for the simple fact they couldn`t get any work. They wait, just like the rest of us? It shouldn't cause any problems when the project does finally get work. Even if the host were deleted, it should be able to reattach itself using the info in the file on the host itself ('s always worked for me). |

Quorate but unvalidated
(Message 16534)
Posted 11 Mar 2007 by anarchic teapot
Post: I had a closer look at the WUs in question in my account. It may all just be an arithmetical rounding error. Here's an example: Claimed credit: 0.00246718596683908 Credit granted : 0 And since BOINC doesn't show anything smaller than 0.01 of a credit, the results are erroneously shown as pending. I'm not going to fuss over a WU so small the computer barely saw it go past. :D |

Quorate but unvalidated
(Message 16484)
Posted 8 Mar 2007 by anarchic teapot
Post: My new results seem to be validating. The old ones that aren't validating probably only amount to a couple of milli-credits each, so I'll not loose any sleep over them for that reason. I still don't understand why they haven't gone through though. Same here. Some WUs from February have 5 returned results, but are still pending, while later WUs (today's for example) have validated fine. Better that than the other way round, I suppose. |

Post: I prefer Arabic tea, it's the best in the world :-D Sugar, yes, but milk???? Don't you mean fresh mint? Arab tea is made with green tea, mint and sugar (hides the bitterness from the mint) and is drunk in tiny glasses, preferably accompanied by pastries involving dates, almonds and honey. Slimming it ain't. Marvellous stuff. |

Posted 19 Jan 2007 by anarchic teapot
Post: Well, that's what happens on all projects. But it's not "wasting", since you don't know which of the results will come first (and thus which are being wasted). Also, if only one is sent, they won't know if it's correct. If two are sent, and aren't equal results, one of them is bad (but which?). If three are sent, two match and one doesn't, there is the answer. You wouldn't have read Minority Report, by any chance? :D |
