great you get to load your own spyware. notheing like stupidity to get
you new huristics.


EXACTLY which spyware are you referring to? Nothing has been installed
onto my system except the heavy-loading computational system. It uses
21.4MB of hard drive space for data storage but empties it when it goes
into the report cycle. Looking at the file, there's nothing about me in
it at all and it's not encrypted, unless you consider physics and
chemistry cryptography in your world.

I'm running it wide open on a couple of dual core Intel machines and
there's plenty of CPU left to watch Livestation streaming, type this
nonsense to you and download more movies from alt.binaries.movies.divx
to play on my Nokia Linux tablets.

It also doesn't upset my movie viewing on the same machines. It only
uses internet bandwidth about once ever 28 hours of number crunching to
get the next job from the server and to upload the report of the last
job, about 30 seconds, tops. The current job has been running full bore
for 26 hours and has about an hour and a half left before it uploads its
findings and starts the job it got this afternoon.

If you know of any spyware, I'd be happy to investigate it.....

GOOD GRIEF! "Love Cypress" commercial just came across Euronews and
after seeing the thong-clad model walking through the Mediterranean
white sand beach, I'M READY TO GO!.....How DOES she keep from falling
over on her face?? It defies Physics!

Larry
Just went and had a look at the site you quoted.
Looks interesting - I think I've heard of it but not in that detail.
Joined up also and downloaded the stuff.

You'll actually find out that this is based upon the BOINC platform,
which supports many different distributed computing projects. It
actually grew out of the SETI (Search for ExtraTerrestrial Intelligence)
project which was started in the mid-90s, which was when I started using
it.

You can find info on BOINC at
http://boinc.berkeley.edu/

There are currently 319,060 active contributors running this on 567,770
computers producing 1,441 Terraflops per hour! I personally have
contributed almost 27,000 hours of computing time, which places me at
the 96% percentile of BOINC contributors and 94% in the US.

Just note that running this does cause your computer to use a lot more
power. On board my laptop draws ~2A @12V when just running, but draws
close to 8A when running BOINC.

The fan runs faster in my tower Windows box. The box gets warmer, but not
alarmingly so...thanks.

I was a SETI supporter a long time ago, but my systems were so slow it just
trashed them so I had to drop out.

When children hear a new word they love to use it, even if they don't know
what it means. Perhaps Gordon never lost that urge.


Huh?
