This is soul destroying. I see the server is sending out workunits, and yet I am not allowed any because I use Linux. Poor call.

Add me to the list of penguins (gentoo I might add) who awaits a Linux app. We feel abandoned.

Alex and Neasan,

Congratulations on what appears to be a successful migration to Queen Mary. Keep up the good work! We are thankful for tiny steps and remain patiently at your disposal.



That's what I say too. Well done guys.

Hi

I have no Work units from LCH since Dezember 06 ?
Wats the Prob?

greetings from Robert


It happens.

You will get some eventually.

You have to be in the right place at the right time.


5) Message boards : Cafe LHC : A useful idea? (Message 17066)

I wouldn't support this idea. While I do want more participants running BOINC based projects this sounds to much like the behavior of a virus.


I disagree keck, as Vista is rolled out and faster processors become available, PC's CAN cope with number crunching in the name of science.

This newer faster technology means todays home computer is quite capable (without freezing up).

I don't see any reason why Microsoft shouldn't support such a "service". (With the option to enable or disable)

In fact, every educational establishment in the world should support the cause.

It's easy to implement, and I think, what with such establishments being funded by government anyway, 'governments' in the name of 'science' would discover what they are 'looking for' sooner rather than later.

Forgive the wording, I aint as clever as you guys, but I think you catch my drift.

As a little explanation for poeple who might not know what last.fm is about...

This sounds like an ad to me.



It might sound like an ad but it aint.
I am also a member of last.fm
There are many websites now linking to last.fm, as it is quite funky and another cool way of linking people together who have the same interests.

8) Message boards : LHC@home Science : LHC group should lobby the MUON1 screen saver people over to BOINC (Message 14322)

The LHC group should lobby the MUON1 (nutreno reseach) screen saver people over to BOINC.

This could solve the LHC "work not avalable" problem.

MUON1 seems to be fully debugged -- just not fully compliant with BOINC technology.

The changeover to BOINC could be trival for MUON1.
The current X86-XP binary is under 250k.

CERN should provision the moveover to BOINC as BOINC is better than 'homebrew' setups for distributed computing.

BOINC's design flaws keep disappearing with new version upgrades -- albeit MAC and LINUX / UNIX versions are essentally free of overt design flaws.


Why should CERN do this? Why would they want to?

There is no LHC work not available "problem".

Geek - you need to think before you post.

Oh - and btw I looked at your web site. From what you have posted here I can't imagine why anyone would employ you.


Hey Mike - why are you being aggresive?
Fool.
