except World Community Grid uses Boinc as its Linux agent.
support@worldcommunitygrid.org to me
More options 12:01 pm (1½ hours ago) Thank you Vo0k for downloading the World Community Grid Linux agent.
Be sure to have the following information handy when installing the Linux agent: Account Key: xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx BOINC Project URL: http://www.worldcommunitygrid.org/
If you'd like to download the Linux agent to another computer, you can do that from this link: http://www.worldcommunitygrid.org/ms/viewDownload. do If you have questions about installing and registering the Linux agent, please take a look at the FAQ's at http://www.worldcommunitygrid.org/help/viewTopic.d o?shortName=boinc Thanks, World Community Grid Team
okay, okay... depending on WHICH manual you read. I've found at least four different on the site so far. The one about "launching the agent at system startup" (which I used) refers you to boincmgr in order to add a project, and doesn't even mention adding it from the commandline. Anyway...
click cygwin\startx.bat in xterm type:
xhost server ssh -l boinc server setenv DISPLAY "client:0.0" boincmgr
For anyone asking: No idea what's the license but the source code is open: http://boinc.ssl.berkeley.edu/source_code.php (by the way, they really make it hard to get there from the main page...)
So, okay, Linux is like 2% of world computer share. BUT lots of the Linux machines are servers. Running 24/7 and with plenty of spare CPU power.
I launch my primary PC, 2GHz CPU. Boot it to Windows. The computation starts and runs for 1h when I check my mail, read some slashdot, then I want to start up Half-Life 2 and have every CPU cycle for myself so I quit the client. I play for 3h, then for the rest of the evening use a text terminal in my bed for IRCing, the main PC is off. 2 billion CPU cycles per day donated. But I have a PC at work, that works as a Samba server, has 330MHZ CPU, and most of the time does completely nothing. Linux. 8 billion CPU cycles per day donated.
Selling THE software. Not "licenses to use", not "support+media+manual" packs, but THE software, that is binaries+source+specs+tools+IP+support+customizati ons+... so the buyer becomes actual OWNER of the software, not just a licensee, "person permitted to use our package". Sure that won't work in case of simple, tiny generic apps, but for specialised software - the government commissions a countrywide tax system, vote counting system, car registration index, health care accounting software, portals for government institutions and such. It's not likely the company would sell more than one (countrywide) license anyway, and profits from access to the sources, API, specs, ability to release the userspace tools for people for free, while making them possible to be modified to fit existing systems, it's all very important. People paid to create software, pay for work, not pay for item. People paid to modify the software, audit the sources, add features, keep it bug-free (not pay per bug, but pay per month of bugfixing support service), people writing manuals, how-tos, guides - lots and lots of opportunities to get paid for work on common, publically accessible code base. And of course getting paid to create the code base in the first place.
I'm Pole, and obviously we had more focus on Copernicus in our schools than the US kids (not to mention our schools serve about thrice the amount of knowledge...) So we were taught the life and findings of Copernicus, and as for his death, we were informed that his corpse lies in the Frombork Cathedral. Now I wonder if any kid on a visit to Frombork asked the teacher to see Copernicus' tomb, what would they do? "ups... well, we KNOW he is in the cathedral... somewhere..."
Nope. He did a lot of research in order to present the theory. Being a priest, he wasn't in such deep shit as Galileo or Giordano Bruno, but still he was smart enough to have his finding published after he died:)
1. Get in line to the store, first. 2. When the date comes, buy ALL of the supply. Just come to the counter and say "I want to buy XBOX 360. All of them." 3. Get outside, and sell them all to the crowd waiting, for $499 a piece. 4. If you have any left, sell on EBay. 5. Profit!!!
For better effect arrange the action in cooperation with a bigger team, so you would dry up whole city or a state, and you won't compete with each other in terms of price.
Shortage in supply and excess in demand naturally leads to increase in price. Not exploiting artificially lowered supply with fixed lower price would be unamerican.
How does one force goddamn Less to display the contents of a html file instead of trying to render it? Less is better in many ways than More, but often it tries to be smart TOO hard. "This file may be binary, are you sure to open it?" on a text file containing native ISO-8859-2 characters, then showing inverse video hex codes junk in place of the characters instead of using properly configured console font to display them. More works okay, displaying the chars as they are. Same about unicode.
Please, make Linux commands do one thing and do it well, not to keep prompting the user "You might be an idiot. Are you an idiot (y/n)?"
'More' can go back in files. Always did (or for at least 8 years...), no matter what unix. 'Less' can go back in pipes. Always did, and 'More' never did, still can't.
more/etc/passwd less/etc/passwd press b in any. More will take longer on a smart but slow terminal, scrolling in the whole previous page, but won't fail on dumb. Less will nicely scroll back using vt100/whatever builtins, but may show junk on dumb terminal.
now try: cat/etc/passwd |more cat/etc/passwd |less Pressing b in more will have no effect (some error message). Pressing b in less will scroll back as usually.
Except Telnet does the negotiation thing that may break stuff seriously. Sure if you don't have nc on that box, don't run in circles to install it, just run Telnet. But if you make a fresh install, add nc, it's superior.
Silly guys:P 1) Wait till the last week before the release, knowing the game went gold. 2) Read "recommended setup" from the final version of the Readme. 3) Buy the recommended hardware for 1/4 the price you would pay now. 4) Be sure that your year-old upgrades of hardware for Oblivion aren't obsolete already, and that the game will run smoothly on what you buy.
Bethesda is known from their deadline slipping. Don't count on 2nd quarter 2006. Hope for christmas 2006. Realistically count summer 2007. For now, just start saving money:)
Not really - the format has changed, the bugs not so much. The journal was made more useful, with quests and sorting, but still you could stumble upon some wrong person at a wrong time and occasionally get an entry from the middle of some far, random quest you never started.
Not really. The binding is a structural element, not a copyright circumvention device. You are still allowed to take the cover off your XBox and mod it as much as you desire, as long as it plays only copyrighted media.

4: No. It may not be Free as Speech, but you can compile it from the source.
With one problem though. GTK and X required.
Fuck.

Release updgraded version that breaks compatiblity with the outsourced support :)
Not to mention he didn't have any kids of his own.
At least ones anyone else than their mother and -possibly- him would know of.
He was a catholic priest. Celibacy, that kind of stuff.

Yep, just... where the f*** is Hurd?
It's been promised for at least twice the time as Duke Nukem Forever!

No. But we can submit our voices, then watch as they are disregarded, then have something to bitch about for another 5 years or so.
