22) Message boards : Number crunching : Any Mac work coming? (Message 18385) Posted 27 Oct 2007 by Daxa Post: I have 5 slots open on three Intel Mac Minis ready to go! Now that there is more work, I hope efforts to support SixTrack on Intel Macs will be redoubled. My little iFleet awaits!!

The truth is, OJ's lawyers planted evidence against OJ in order to frame the Police for "framing" OJ. I do, of course, have evidence to prove my accusation which I will not disclose here. I'm already at risk; OJ's lawyers may accuse me of framing them for framing the Police. If they do, demonstrative evidence against me will emerge. At that point, I'm sure you know what I'll say... "They framed me!"

Someone say something offensive or tactlessly provocative!!!! Your mother is a hamster and your father smells of elderberries! Ni! How dare you nearly insult your King! ...And I don't care if you voted for me or not!! In the name of Camelot, I demand that you say something truly offensive at once!!! P.S. Kudos to Dagorath for saying something tactlessly provocative. Hat's off, once again, to one of my favorite forum dwellers! _ _ _ C H E E R S ! !

(maybe you missed the irony within the sarcasm, or maybe silver is the new gold, or maybe I'm just pretending to be an annoying hipster douchebag.)

27) Message boards : Number crunching : Bugs - problems thread (Message 17888) Posted 14 Sep 2007 by Daxa Post: Come on, it's probably just a few lines of code. Nope. It's 0 lines of code to touch. It's just an extra module they have to install, which depending how they have PHP installed in the first place, could be really easy. Why did it work just fine before the "New Look" changes?
28) Message boards : Number crunching : dear Neasan & Alex (Message 17887) Posted 14 Sep 2007 by Daxa Post: "We are holding the jobs because we hope to get more very soon so you'll have even more to crunch." [sarcasm] I think it's such a good idea, I've decided not to eat any of the food in the kitchen until my wife does the shopping next week. That way, I will lose weight and when I finally do eat there will be lots of food to throw away and that makes me feel like a prosperous American. I love this country so much. [/sarcasm]
29) Message boards : Number crunching : Did I miss something? (Message 17885) Posted 14 Sep 2007 by Daxa Post: I only had my resource share set to 50. Should I bump it up? Dora You could, but it won't help much. Mostly, getting work is about timing; your computer has to be sitting at the LHC "slot machine" at just the right time to hear the ch-ching ch-ching ch-cha-ching! Also, I've discovered that if I put LHC at 100 and everything else at 1, my machine still stocks up on other work and stops polling the LHC server for a day or two (and even putting LHC at 1500 and all others at 1 or 2 or 3 doesn't help.) I snagged a dozen WU's from this last batch, but each one only lasts 30 min or so. It's kind of a game, but I'll keep playing as long as it's fun!

I can't log out of my account, so my friend isn't able to log in to his account on my computer. 2. I can't change my avatar image, forum prefs, or sig. FWIW -- I don't think this is a "new" issue, it seems like this condition has existed for some time. Short of you "detaching" your computer from the project, then re-attaching with your friend's account, I'm not sure there's a way to do what you desire ... All my friend wants to do is log into his LHC account using my browser (to, for instance, post to the message boards.) The post by Ananas makes this correct assumption and also makes some good points. Incidentally, I've recently discovered that this is not a problem when using Mozilla Firefox. As for the forum prefs problem, here is the error message: Fatal error: Call to undefined function gd_info() in /srv/httpd/lhcathome.cern.ch/lhcathome/html/inc/image.inc on line 7

32) Message boards : Cafe LHC : dial-up participation (Message 17549) Posted 25 Jul 2007 by Daxa Post: Hi me again. Just thought I'd tell you that I actually got another W/U last night over my dialup and finished it this morning. I admit I was rather surprised to receive one on 7/24 seeing as how Neason and company told us that there were 20000 work units which were made available on 7/20 and I didn't expect to get any at all. That was lucky, because the 7/24 run only had a few K WUs. I had dial-up until recently, so I share your joy! Like I said before: be persistent and even dilaup users can get work. Aye! ...and with some luck, there will lots of work to do in the near future; then dial-up users will get work on a more regular basis. Cheers Tom Salud!
33) Message boards : Cafe LHC : Finally: The truth about NEZ (Message 17498) Posted 22 Jul 2007 by Daxa Post: I heard that NEZ is homosexual. The problem is, no one knows what sex NEZ is to begin with. This adds great confusion to the issue and makes the rumor mostly pointless. I've also heard that "NEZ" is an acronym. The problem is, no one knows what it's an acronym for... Any ideas? Finally, it is said that NEZ keeps a bottle of vodka in the freezer and always pours about 15 ml into each beer to increase the alcohol content. However, I only heard this from one guy, and he does the same thing with his beer. If anyone knows any other facts (or even rumors) about NEZ, please post.
34) Message boards : LHC@home Science : Collision Course (Message 17463) Posted 20 Jul 2007 by Daxa Post: Large Hadron Collider might finally answer physics' cosmic questions – or not ...Even if *NOT, the Large Hadron Collider will still look really cool!* _____ Heh, heh... sweeet. On the border of Switzerland and France, the world's biggest and most powerful particle accelerator, the Large Hadron Collider, is set to come online next spring in an effort to solve several mysteries of physics. http://www.signonsandiego.com/uniontrib/20070719/news_lz1c19collide.html
35) Message boards : Number crunching : The beautiful screensaver (Message 17460) Posted 20 Jul 2007 by Daxa Post: From all projects that I'm crunching, I think the LHC screensaver is by far the nicest. Is there an option to use it as a normal screensaver? I know it will be in a modified version, since it is in some way linked to the data being crunched. I'm just wondering if such a version exists. There are various ways to "trick out" the LHC screen saver so that it runs without an active WU, but they vary widely in terms of platforms and consistency. I used to have a somewhat-reliable method I was using on Win XP, but it was a pain in the butt to get it working. I've since forgotten what the trick was. So the easy answer to your question is that there is no easy answer.
36) Message boards : Number crunching : The new look bugs (Message 17458) Posted 20 Jul 2007 by Daxa Post: I don't suppose anyone has ideas about the need to login everytime? I still have to enter my email and password eaach time I power up my PC but this is the only Project I have to do that for - I didn't need to do it before the redesign. I'm not having that problem; my account stays logged in even after re-starting the computer. However, I'm using ie7 on Win XP -- other configurations my react differently to the redesign.
37) Message boards : Number crunching : Because you asked.... (Message 16855) Posted 9 May 2007 by Daxa Post: Mercy. I think I might have poured gasoline on a smoldering fire. Here's blowing a little sunshine up everyones ass... I love you guys! ;}*
38) Message boards : Number crunching : Project dead ? (Message 16825) Posted 7 May 2007 by Daxa Post: Since more than 2 month there is no information or work do be done. So I believe the project is dead, and I stop watching of it. Sorry. Martin Where is the love?.. the unconditional love for the project? Oh, I guess that's just me and about three other lhc members... maybe four... five at most. Sayonara Martin.
39) Message boards : LHC@home Science : LHC magnets failed during test (Message 16804) Posted 3 May 2007 by Daxa Post: HG's Most Fearless Cruncher award he had to work real hard to win... "*...he* had to work real hard to win" ? "Looks better on *his* signature" ? ---I thought HomeGnome was a she. Boy am I embarrassed. By the way, Ray, how does one go about winning a "Certified" award like yours and HG's? I've wondered this for a long time! I would like to run for "Certified Big Mouth" or something. Any info would be much appreciated.
40) Message boards : Number crunching : Because you asked.... (Message 16803) Posted 3 May 2007 by Daxa Post: Some in here seem to feel that since they are so willing to be generous with their time and systems to do the crunching, they then have the right to go on and on about problems and changes they want to see... Isn't that (at least partly) what this forum is for though? They have long past the point of constructive criticism. Unfortunately it is quite difficult to be constructive when there is (almost) no dialogue. Still, the comments I have seen here seem (to me) to have the aim of improving this project rather than trying to run it down. I agree. And for those who disagree, they should accept that the forums are an appropriate place to blow off steam. Sure, I rant pointlessly all the time... it gives me something to do when there's no work. There's no harm in being hyper-passionate about a project.
