Seti@Home Bandwidth Problems
reflexreaction writes: "With so many of the /. users actively using and supporting Seti@home, many of you have realized that in the last couple of weeks that Seti has had some serious problems receiving completed data and getting new data to process from its 3 million members because of network bandwidth problems. All the gritty details are here. The article details some things that users can do to alleviate some of the problems including connecting during off hours and downloading more than unit than once using programs like SetiQueue for PC and Seti Unit Manager for Mac. Donations are also accepted. There is also a plea for bandwidth donations. It will be truly unfortunate if this page becomes /.ted without benefit from /. users."
Reminds me of those mailers I get in the mail.
"Here, we've sent you a bunch of preprinted address labels with your name and address on them which you never asked for and can use while sending out snail mail. We ask that you donate $10 for some poor kids because we need to make up for the costs of sending out these mailers."
No, I'm not making this up!
Mmmm.. Donuts
It's == It Is
Its == possessive version of 'it'
The rules of the apostrophe for it/its/it's are a special case and do not follow "Bob's Quick Guide to the Apostrophe, You Idiots."
