What proof that this is real and not YASH (Yet Another SETI@Home Hoax)?
Suspicious things:
1) I've seen no statistics on their site.
2) Couldn't they just be lying and borrowing our processing times for a different purpose (like improving their own SETI or Distributed.net standings, or maybe they're trying to design nuclear weapons)?
Don't believe everything you read online!! And especially don't trust close-source programs...
UConn is finally finishing soon wiring the entire school onto the 10 megabit network. For a while, tech savvy students would choose to only move into wired dorms only. It caused a weird difference in the type of people who lived in each dorm complex (wired vs non-wired). With the whole campus wired, it will be interesting to see what happens. Maybe location-location-location will be in effect again. I personally dread going home during long breaks without ethernet. The phone lines in my home's neighborhood are so bad that I only get a 28800 connection with a 56K modem. Anyway, another thought. UConn at the beginning of the last semester increased the internet backbone on campus by 10x. It was miracle! I was so happy. The network went from a crawl to incredibly fast. Thanks Qwest!!!
