BOINC acts like a software platform that can run a number of screen-saver style applications on top of the PC's own operating system.
Sounds like Internet Explorer to me... Can't get much more "distributed" than the virii hiway of MS Products!
And the nice thing is you don't even have to trouble the user to install your clients...
I've experienced the same with Windows XP and a USB Wireless adapter... Windows XP (eXperimental Program) would see other access points in the neighborhood and try to connect to them.
Yes, they can eat and snip cords, that's why you protect them with "wraps". That protects the cord, the rabbit and looks cool when you have a bunch of black tubes all over the place! Think "Golden Age Of Wireless" by T.Dolby
As for the noxious feces, actualy they are rather good about that, and what misses the litter box is easy to pickup with a dustbuster or hand. They make little poops, like CoCo Puffs, just don't get the two mixed up. As for urine, with any animal that uses a litter box, you must change the box often. I change my two boxes every two to three days.
The worse thing is when your rabbit gets sick, which they can do quite quickly. But for someone that cares for their furry critter, it's easy to spot early on.
I love all 4 of my bunnies, they are sweet, loving, and great to watch when I am programming.
IMHO they are the greatest critters I've had the honor to live with me. { And I've had some unique ones... Ferrets, Skunk, Raccoons, Crow, Frogs, Lizards, Cats, Dogs }
I agree!! A Rabbit is a Geeks best friend, they can be litter trained, they don't want to lay on the keyboard like a cat, and most of the time they don't mark your tower case like a dog will.
They don't eat much DASD, only the cables that are in their way, so I block off all my computer cables with a pen.
They always eat all their veggies, including the ones you don't wanna eat. They can be loving on their terms, mine love to lay next to me and get petted or groomed.
All in all, a rabbit is a nice house pet to have.
Just look at one of mine! He's not eaten any of my Midrange!! http://members.cox.net/kyootfox/George Rabbit.jpg
But before anyone gets a bunny, read up on them, they can be a handfull... http://www.rabbit.org

That's gonna cut into the FBI's stake-outs, isn't it?

My solution...
Install Windows 2000... Works fine now.
