LHC@home

These are a real pain when you are trying to use the message boards. Is everyone else getting the same and is anything being done to correct it?

Did anyone clock how fast those 13500 work units were snapped up? I got ONE, and by the time it had run for 15 minutes there was no more work (of course, my WU may not have started right away because I crunch for other projects.)

Well anyway, hooray for the drizzle after the drought!

im pretty sure he was being facetious :)

Then I read some more I laughed so hard I farted, and that made me laugh harder!

Mercy. I hope this is supposed to be harshly sarcastic. If you really see eye to eye with the "k00k" rhetoric, I hope your next fart backfires.

Yes, it is important to let k00ks know they are k00ks. Otherwise they continue posting their k00k crap. Their nonsense is annoying, antagonising and insulting. It breaks all the rules.
......

The problem? WHAT problem? It is NOT a problem if he doesn't get WUs. NOBODY INCLUDING THE ADMINS give a rusty rat's ass if he doesn't get WUs or whether he feels helpless/happy/hopeful/hungry. The fact he thinks they should care proves he's a k00k.

I run a number of other projects, and periodically check this project to find out if work is available. I have seen a pattern repeating. I visit the website. No work available. Then for a couple days I see unable to connect to the database - too many users. I interpret this to mean there's work but I'm too late - the servers are busy distributing work to the lucky few. Then no work available again. Maybe it's time for me to give up on this project.

Readed that by accident now.
Well, I'm not posting much on most of the projects, but I still read most of the threads on that ones who interests me the most.
LHC is one of my favorite (see sig) and I'm reading here from time to time to being up to date, although I'm not posting that much here.
But that's no reason to say to me I would have nothing to say here.
And deciding for credibility on what you crunched for the projects or by the amount of posts is not really professional in my opinion.
I love BOINCing and crunching and because of that I'm participating in all projects, although I only have one computer (this will change soon btw and then I can crunch more ;-)).
And last but not least I have a special project where I do post the most: RenderFarm.

I hope you understand MY SPIRIT of BOINCing now a bit better ;-)

Gentlemen: After a number of near-misses at obtaining a WU, I can only conclude that those whose computers are always on-line will always co-opt those
of us who are in a dial-up configuration (for other
valid reasons, eg, children in college).

Would it be possible for the good administrators at
LHC to keep a few WU's in abeyance, as a good-will
gesture? I am aware that the flood-gates will open,
when the project becomes 100% operational; however,
for old-time's sake . . .

Thanks/danke schon (sans umlaut),

Than add also a reason. =)
"because of migration the stats are currently not available at the moment and we will inform you when they are back" or something like this.

just an idea :)

Done and done

Have a great Christmas and "see" you in the new year!

Sorry for the silence so far, we'll rectify that in the new year.

Later Days,
Neasan.

Because it doesn't matter. We all die sooner or later.
