Hosting Problems For distributed.net

Posted by Hemos on from the need-to-find-a-new-home dept.

Yoda2 writes "I've always found the distributed.net client to be a scientific, practical use for my spare CPU cycles. Unfortunately, it looks like they lost their hosting and need some help. The complete story is available on their main page but I've included a snippet with their needs below: 'Our typical bandwidth usage is 3Mb/s, and reliable uptime is of course essential. Please e-mail dbaker@distributed.net if you think you may be able to help us in this area.' As they are already having hosting problems, I hate to /. them, but their site is copyrighted so I didn't copy the entire story. Please help if you can." Before there was SETI@Home, Distributed.net was around - hopefully you can still join the team.

    This is a carefully crafted troll to make your page the same size as it was before.

    When will the editors fix this bug?

      Why don't you just leave us poor readers alone. We don't want your page same-sizening here.

      I've checked it out in Mozilla, IE 6 and Opera and it makes pages the same size in all of them. A serious bug.

    WTF is with that, they want people to help by donating CPU cycles but wont even share their website.... thats double standards.

    I am sorry but I hold copyright on all non page-widening posts. You will be hearing from my lawyers.

    I am also notifying anyone who is even thinking of making a post which in no way affects the width of the page that I fully intend to protect my intellectual property rights using any measures at my disposal. I am not without means.
