It isn't perpetual motion, it uses the energy from magnets to turn. This idea is rather old actually......

That's good to know!

Exactly why I think work units should be stopped to such hosts, until the user checks it, and notices the problem.

so does this guy....

Is there a way to make the system quit sending work units to computers that repeatedly send back errors this rapidly? And leave a message in the messages tab or something indicating to the user of the defective host that the host will not recieve work units until the project is reset on the host? Hopefully indicating he realizes his computer's flaws and fixes them, otherwise more zeros will be sent back, and he will get the message again ect. Set it at a leanient 10 consecutive client errors or something.....

Is this a possible solution to this issue?

What a waste of time and energy for this crap, these people ever notice? I usually (in winter) overclock my computers insanely (reletively) and always make sure they perform properly.
