I upgraded from the old SETI@Home client to BOINC when it became available - but the BOINC client required too much effort on my part and was getting in my way.
I know you what you're gonna say, I guess could have configured it better, RTFM, yadda yadda, but that's the point really isn't?
I'm donating my CPU cycles to some altruistic cause, I don't want to have to RTFM. I just want to install and forget. For this reason I miss the old SETI client, and have, as a result, now stopped contributing.
That was the sound of/. shooting itself in the head and flopping dead to the floor. It's probably gonna lie there for at least a couple of weeks, or until the smell rouses the neighbours.
I think it qualifies as international - I live in Northern-Europe and we're celebrating it here.
hmmm... according to draft I received

· Score: 2, Funny
Real grasping for straws I guess, no wonder either, I haven't let any thing Real get within 2 meters of my system for the last two years either. I mean, their windows and Linux clients sucks(AnnoyWareOfDeath) and their compression standards suck, no wonder they're trying to jump onto the DRM bandwagon, I would too, and barring that I'd become a plumper.:P

I simply can't be bothered.
