Post: Trolling (posting hostile or insulting comments) is not allowed, I've let people away with it up until now but to be honest I've had enough, I've let people have their say and now they just keep abusing me (personally) and this service if you think that is acceptable use of these boards well I'm sorry but I don't. You're post was deleted for a different reason than the above and you know why I'll have done that and I'm well within my rights to do that. Or do you disagree with that? |

Post: This is a weird one as it is not just a link we manually put in. A PHP script pulls the link from the database which pulls it from the ether and displays it on the website. We are looking at the mechanism of how it does that to get it to point to the newest version. |

Post: You might be right about that, but I know a number of people who are getting interested in Mac's. I just got one so go figure...and a free OS X tee shirt too! I think anyone at an Apple store on launch night/evening got one, I was kinda tempted but it was Friday night and I had a gig to go to. |

I'm not saying it's not exciting (I'm just too cheap to upgrade) but I don't think outside the geek world most people are aware it's even happening and it may drive some sales from that quarter but those people are half likely to be running BOINC anyway and probably know that we (sadly) can't run on Macs. |

Post: Good thing time was spent on changing the look and feel of the web site, rather than fixing the servers. I tell you what I'll do my job and you do yours mmm'kay? The quota has been altered. We've been talking to the scientists about the workflow and at the moment they are unsure whether it will be more constant when we know you'll know |

Maximum daily WU quota per CPU?
(Message 18438)
Posted 29 Oct 2007 by Neasan
Post: Quota has been bumped up, you will need to work your way upto the new limit (it is a bigger hike than the last time) so I'll let you all work it out. Sorry for the delay we had this thing called a weekend here ;-) be glad I'm not at home, proper countries have a bank holiday today and I'd not have looked at this till tomorrow *bloody non Celtic Britain* |

Number crunching :
Different Max WUs/CPU
(Message 18374)
Posted 26 Oct 2007 by Neasan
Post: First, let me say I am not trying to get the WU/CPU value changed. When we set the value of the quota to 2 (because most people had a value higher than this) it reset every cpu/core's quota down to 2. However when we changed this to 4 then each cpu/core has to work its way back up to 4 by returning work successfully. As each workunit is returned by a CPU it increases the quota until the maximum is reached (4 in our case when it used to be 500). So in the case where someone had been screwing up workunits and their quota was 1 WU even they would have had to work their way up to 2 when we set the quota at that level. That make sense? Oh there is also a maximum of 4 cores/cpu so the most any one user can download in a day is 16 which will explain why some of your machines are still at 2 as they have not gotten any results to return and so increase their quota. |

Post: This "problem" will not be fixed over night the actual compiler SixTrack uses is not compatible with Macs, we have talked to Apple to see what can be done but don't hold your breath. Leopard is out today but I really can't see it being a big deal outside the Mac fanboy herds, I don't think it will drive sales. |

Glad to help, at last!
(Message 18348)
Posted 23 Oct 2007 by Neasan
Post: Also glad to help this big science work but I'm quite astonished that this sixtracks simulation ends so quickly ... There are two issues with this sadly: 1) Porting the Grid software is a nightmare, we are looking at a few things which could be ported but a lot of it is very complex for BOINC(CPDN is long not necessarily complex) 2)As with LEP before the "less promising" events will be binned, the LHC will keep 15PB a year at current estimates and that is only about 1% of the actual generated signals. The Grid is being used to simulate what we hope to see so we keep the 1% need(1% is about the percentage of signals expected to be useful) |

Post: Anybody who is unhappy with my posts is welcome to either ignore me or kiss my ass. The issue, C0M you insufferable twit, Rules: No messages whose only intention is to annoy or antagonize other people. No messages that are deliberately hostile or insulting. Dagorath and Fat Loss 4 Idiots (and anyone else) you are volunteers here and as such are free to take your computers elsewhere. If you wish to detach that is fine but by staying attached you're implicitly agreeing to do things our way. You have both made your points and we have not just ignored them but we have set IR to 5 and are leaving it as such. If you do detach I will not delete your credit, if you read the post you will see that I was pointing out that if you stayed attached and willing to do the work but continued to bitch, moan and whine I would consider taking the drastic step of banning you and deleting credit. Also the predictor@home thing was a bit much don't you think? I've let you have your say and only as a last resort have I threatened to do anything drastic. |

Post: If Dagorath(or anyone for that matter) is unhappy with our IR or any other way that we have decided to do the project you are free to leave and crunch for another project. We take all criticism and opinions on board and listen to them all and weigh up their merits and discuss things with the scientists. However if you continue to stay and "lobby" us to change IR(or another aspect of the project) by spamming in threads or just plain making a nuisance of yourself I am more than happy to detach you, ban you and wipe your credit from the stats. When we upgrade the service we will re-discuss the IR with the scientists and it may change but it may not. |

Post: No guarantees as we need to double check with the scientists but Garfield will probably run both PPC and Intel and we are talking to some people about SixTrack on Macs and would like it to be both PPC and Intel. I'm a Mac user so would like to crunch more than I do with just my work desktop. |

Post: [And the very first time I looked at that page 1, it *also* looked good. But when I returned to page 1, it now looks ugly (no matter what I try).] It looked good as it was using the old CSS (width=700, overflow=hidden) and when you looked again it reloaded the CSS and width=auto looks cack. I have emailed the user to see can he just put spaces in between the img tags
Sorry only fixed the avatar box will try and get this sorted tomorrow |
