Members (Rank) 23 (#343) Another 50 results for team EvC and another advance in rank. Advancing in rank means we are more than holding our own for a team of this size. Imagine what we could do with a few more members! we are limited in our ability to understand by our ability to understand RebelAAmerican.Zen[Deist

I've had a small meltdown of my laptop -- stuck in reboot cycle land -- so I had to put in an old hard-drive and use the recovery disc (have the other hard drive secure for removing files and bookmarks ...).
Now back online with this reloaded. ready for some fresh updates. we are limited in our ability to understand by our ability to understand RebelAAmerican.Zen[Deist

Sorry to hear that -- problems with speed? You can set it to only operate while on screensaver (not that this is much use on a laptop eh?)
I have some software at work that when I run it I have to turn this off to use. There is a sleep button and you can set how long it sleeps. The other way is just to click on the icon in the task box and select "exit" -- then you have to either reboot or start it from the start menu to get it going again. Todays results (before I forget):
So far "good intentions" is holding true to the name eh? we are limited in our ability to understand by our ability to understand RebelAAmerican.Zen[Deist

You should also be able to divide the time on each {machine group) by the results returned to see how long it takes on average.
It might also be interesting to see how each team (and then the whole community) compares to a supercomputer, based on the way they rate each machine. we are limited in our ability to understand by our ability to understand RebelAAmerican.Zen[Deist

yep, just keep the monitor on the 'hot' machine. You really only need the cpu running: motherboard, ram, hard-drive.

If I reboot it now, without a monitor, how will I know if it is running? As long as you don't have it set up to require login at bootup it will go into screensaver mode whether there is a monitor or not.

the only time you use bandwidth is when downloading new modules and uploading results. the rest of the time it is all just time on your machine alone. {abe}this would be the same usage as general surfing and downloading other things (images on pages, etc) {/abe}
this does tend to leave modules vulnerable, as in when a system crashes all the data on that module is lost. as jar pointed out, there is redundancy built into the master program (on the servers, that distribute the modules) so that ones that don't get returned are reassigned to other machines. of course you could also work to sign up the other users as well This message has been edited by RAZD, 01*04*2006 10:05 PM we are limited in our ability to understand by our ability to understand RebelAAmerican.Zen[Deist

um ... as noted before ...
you already do. people who wrote the software are controlling how it is used. companies that provide updated {software\data\patches} are automatically rewriting what your machine uses. you are probably more vulnerable by having any microsoft product on your machine than by loading this one -- because ms is a common target and is notorious for having backdoors and problems. the recent issue about wmf files is a case in point. if you are really paranoid on this issue then research is the way to go: there are sites that list virus and malware types and you can search them for this programs vulnerability this site lists hoaxes: http://vil.mcafee.com/hoax.asp this site lists viruses: http://vil.nai.com/vil/default.asp I did a search on there with these results:
Results for 'worldcommunitygrid.org' Search took 0.02 seconds. Your search - worldcommunitygrid.org - did not match any documents. No pages were found containing "worldcommunitygrid.org". and
Results for 'fightAIDS@home' Search took 0.02 seconds. Your search - fightAIDS@home - did not match any documents. No pages were found containing "fightAIDS@home". and
Results for 'Proteome Folding' Search took 0.02 seconds. Your search - Proteome Folding - did not match any documents. No pages were found containing "Proteome Folding". I don't claim this as exclusive in any way, but I also did a search based on microsooft word with this result:
Results for 'microsoft word' Results 1 - 10 of about 1150. Search took 0.15 seconds And it then proceeds to list all 1150 (and counting) of the viruses that are associated with that software. Do you use word? Feel safer? we are limited in our ability to understand by our ability to understand RebelAAmerican.Zen[Deist

Member Name Joined-Retired Run Time Points Results My results are suffering from back-to-back-system crashes - first my laptop (now rebuilt) and then my work desktop (still at the shop, so I actually have to work on my laptop ... ). The good news is that the desktop is being rebuilt as a {better\faster\powerful} machine, and that I am getting 'ghost' for the laptop so it won't take me a week to get it back into operation. we are limited in our ability to understand by our ability to understand RebelAAmerican.Zen[Deist
