SETI@home Becomes Part of BOINC

Sudoku writes "On December 15th the Seti@home project will stop issuing new work to members and integrate with BOINC, the Berkeley Open Infrastructure for Network Computing. Once members have moved over to the BOINC client they can divide their computing time between such projects as climate prediction, search for gravitational signals emitted by pulsars and yes, you can still look for the aliens."

What if it's a Tsunami and you need to figure out which cities to send into a panic and which not?

What if the thought Police catches CmdrTaco and need to crack is PGP key fast! Can I donate my spare cpu cycles?

If they can't crack his key, they'll use barabaric means, like pouring hot grits down his pants, while he naked and petrified! I heared that it was used on Natalie Portman with great sucess.

(I was missing those Natalie Portman posts from the old days. I'm such a dork...)

Say WHAT@home?

We'd still prefer you run the official Fodling@home client

I hope you meant Folding@home and not Fondling@home ;-)

This is great for me, 6000 OGR units were completed. But Eliza's not happy because the RC5 work is falling behind. What happens if she works on each project for an hour while I work on OGR for .2 hours and RC5 in the remaining time? 3300 OGR units and 3300 RC5 units get completed. That's 300 more units for each project than if we each worked on our favorites by ourselves.

As a dumbass, I demand that your income be docked by the government and transferred to me... someone who can't keep up with what the hell you are talking about.
