I use NativeBOINC for my android devices that don't have batteries... it is actually a much better client than the new official client, but it has more problems with batteries.
Having said that, there are a lot of devices (like the Nexus 7 with four cores) that have problems because the battery drains *EVEN IF* it is on the charger. I have to set mine so that it only uses 2 cores otherwise the thing never charges.
out of the box configuration is to not do calculations on battery... but I know we have 20k more battery comments coming.
Also, it is also set up out of the box so that if the battery gets below 90% it doesn't do calculations at any time. This allow the battery to charge up properly on most devices.

Is it racism to be concerned that our military is using computer parts that can't (or won't) be produced at home?
If we had to go to "total war" tomorrow like we had to after Pearl Harbor I think we would be in pretty big trouble if our enemy was from the east and all of our sudden our constant shipping was gone. It we Americans are so damn expensive and corporations are at their height of greed and power we've pretty much forgotten how do that manufacturing.
There have been a total 13 bills make it into law so far this Congress... and the ones that have made it into law are about items such as "Freedom to Fish".
It's at a complete stand still folks. You're representatives have finally dropped to the point they aren't even pretending to represent interests of voters over the interests of their corporate donors.
How bad does it have to get before something is done?
...he'll just be called a socialist and that's that.
We are an era of NO debate. The pro-corporate lobby will smear him and there will be no discussion. Being a Nobel Laurette isn't going to matter much to knownothings in Congress.
"Responding to reports of a nascent boycott against the upcoming movie version of his beloved 1985 sci-fi novel Ender’s Game because of his stated opposition to same-sex marriage..."
Whoa, whoa, WHOA there cowboy. People aren't pissed off a Card because of his "stated opposition" to gay marriage. I don't give a rat's ass what most authors think or even what they say. The problem here is that he was so active in campaigns that were openly trying to strip the rights of others based on sexual orientation. People have the right to think what they want, but when they start trying to codify their prejudice into law THAT is where the problem starts.

This is something I think I need to try. Does it use CPUs well, or is this another GPU usage thing...
Actually, another nice thing about Android clients is that they suspend at certain CPU temperatures. The official android client suspends at 40 C
I use NativeBOINC for my android devices that don't have batteries... it is actually a much better client than the new official client, but it has more problems with batteries.
I actually have a solar-based charging system and charge off of a 12v storage battery, so this isn't really relevant for me.
Boinc is the lower priority for me, really, so if I had to I would get rid of it.
However, for most people your advice is straight on right.
aw.. crap... ...redo

I think he was talking platforms with marketing departments.
The claims of socialist look dumber by the day.
Obama is just more pro-corporate than Bush, Sr... just a tad less than Bush, Jr.

Halliburton perpetrates huge fraud on the government (in billions) and nothing is ever done.
They defraud another corporation, they're in trouble.
You see the pattern here? madoff is only in jail because he defrauded other rich people.
Matt Smith is pleased.
113th congress is the worst in history, which is sadly impressive given how bad the 112th was.

...about whether or not it ends in to THESE congresscritters.
We have a ruling class in the USA, just like the founding fathers were scared of.
I didn't mean to say it was dropped... but everything written on it I have read so far seems to ignore it...
The rumored specs for Nexus 7.2 all included wireless charging. Does anyone know for certain that it got dropped from the final spec?
don't question the arrogance of da Ballmer!

Isn't that fairly common?
Wow. That's a pretty blatant misstatement of my position.
If they "act" on their beliefs by trying to force them on me, then your answer is "hell yes."
It's not codified into law, huh? It doesn't have massive numbers of government benefits hooked to it, huh?
Interesting how he couldn't bring that idea into his real life.

They only got 4 calls about the alert.
That was a full 50% of their audience.
...or rather this is the second incident of it happening, not the first.
It has already happened
Check out the last incident on the list, from February of this year.
