The main page still tries to access the database :

Well, many (or all?) 8-hours WUs (sixtrack 4.46) run only 3 minutes - I doubt this is the normal behaviour.

edit:
This is the complete output btw., it ate the XML tags.
So the scheduler reply was absolutely correct and contained
a valid error message, it just shouldn't have had the
mime type in the header.

Not sure if this is a BOINC problem or LHC related :

How many promille of all users can be interested in particle physics? How many understand even 1% of what the project is good for? Well, maybe I understand this 1% but I guess not much more.

I'm generally interested in having some fun with DC and actually attached to LHC just to make some credits and for no other reason. Does that matter and are the results less good or less useful?

People join DC projects for a lot of reasons like good communities, fancy graphics, curiosity, boredom ...

edit: I am interested in Climate issues - but for this RPG the credits came in too slow ;-)
