Well, SETI@Home is shutting down its "Classic" operation and using BOINC exclusively on December 15. The announcement is in the News section on their main classic homepage. I got to my 15,000 units, but I don't think I'll be switching over to BOINC. Beta-testing operating systems and running...

Contratulations, Wayne. I was planning on bowing out when they eventually quit accepting work units from the current software after transitioning to the new software. But I'm finding that keeping just my three computers appropriated for SETI is increasingly difficult. I don't know how much...

Does anybody here have any recommendations for a work unit caching program or script for a Linux box with a dialup connection? I could turn in a lot more work units if I could cache on my Linux box.

To think that I was in eleventh place at one time... Nice work, everybody. :)

Sorry I haven't been pulling my weight lately. I've dropped from eleventh place to seventeenth place since I've lost my spare processor cycles. On a side note, it sucks being unemployed.

Congratulations, Wayne. Unfortunately, I'll be slipping in the ranks since I've lost my slaves (uprooted lab). I'm down to a measly one or two Work Units a day from my home machine. It's been fun, though. :)

Martin, You’ve proved that SETI users are nothing if not gracious. Thanks for coming over and taking the time to find this thread. Your forum is really cool! And it’s totally dedicated to the cause! You must find it amazing that our team could be so successful when we have just one...

I've burned up over half my cache. I don't think I can make it through the weekend, if it comes to that.

UPDATE I found this when trying to reach Berkely's servers today: Fiber cut silences SETI@Home At about 3:30 AM PST on 27 February an optical fiber cable connecting the U.C. Berkeley campus with the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory was cut, apparently by vandals trying to "salvage"...

Congratulations, Mike! Welcome aboard, Andrew! --------------- Does anybody know what happened to Craig? I thought he'd be up to 20,000 units by now, but even I've been producing work units faster than he has for a few weeks now. At this rate, I should pass him in another twenty years. :)

Mike, I have an AMD processor in my home machine, and although it seems fast in every other way, it processes SETI units so slowly that it’s way out of proportion to its relative clock speed. For this reason, I have come to believe that the floating-point calculator on the AMD processor is...
