No, it concerns the 744041 http://lhcathome.cern.ch/workunit.php?wuid=744041

My ID is 41650. It appears as dead but I see it pending.

Edit :
Well, the WU has gone, but still I can't merge them.

But the problem is that there is still a WU pending, the other users has been granted and now 'my' WU is dead (the deadline is over).....

I have one of my computer that displays strange things in the View Computers page, like :
- CPU : 0 1
- Operating system : 2024136132.97026

I have a second row for this computer but I can't merge them.

Is there something I can do?
Thanks

I said it in another thread but I still don't understand how it can be interesting to have hundred WUs in stock. Sorry, I'm probably stupid but I can't see where is the advantage.

Last time in Sztaki, the project was waiting until all the WUs are finished to go a step further. And there was no work during almost a week waiting until the WUs collector had finished their WUs. I think this is more stupid than have short deadlines and one week for WUs of 6 hours is not a short deadline, in my opinion.

I'm not offended, I'm boring with those recurrent moanings. If you want to become famous, go do something in the show business.

Can somebody explain what is an '...adequate cache of work...'? Adequate to what? What is the interest to have 10 WUs in stock if a project is down for a week. Until now I thought we offer a service. This is less ans less the case, I think.
The only important thing with the deadlines is to be able to run several project at a time.
I have set my cach on 0.1 day. And I crunch Wu after WU. If a project is down, it raises the percentage allowed to other project. Automatically. I never have a problem.
Some people will say that everybody is free to choose the way he wants to work. Yes but in the project limits. Don't forget we offer a service. The goal is not to control the projects. Not for me at least :-p

You're perfectly right. Boinc has the success it has because their conceptors started with a subject that touchs people. If they started with Einstein or Predictor BOINC could be dead for a long time.

I said Seti because it's not a real scientific subject (for the participants). It's more a religious/philosophical/... subject. It express a prehistoric fear. Are we alone. Yes/no. And why? And what if...? Look at the number of members, it's clear.
But OK I run also Seti (a bit) and I started in '99 with it. But .... ;-)
I mean, it could be maybe better to use the power of the 200,000 users in projects against AIDS or cancer.

I agree with Gary on the first point. A small message just to let us know that it is not a technical problem would be nice.
For the rest, I can't see the problem. I think we have to be happy to participate to a real scientific project with of course, work, no work, analysis, work, no work, analysis, ... and you have BOINC which manage that by running other projects when there's no more work (and come back automatically when necessary).
Do you think it's better to run Seti non stop, night and day, to find that stupid little green man and never do something concrete?
I don't think so.

Good job LHC team. A bit more news and it will be perfect.
