there's no credit if your pc finds anything. With Seti@home if you find something you will get some real credit. I've decided that this project is really just cashing in on public stupidity. This isn't going to help humanity anymore than any of the other projects on WCG. It's all just spin to get fools to donate cpu time for projects that are commissioned by academics and bureaucrats guessing. Sorry, but unless these projects promise 49% of the royalties/company or something similar to a lucky user, this is just for idealistic people. We are doing the crunching and even if the data is made public, it's of no use for 99.99999% of people as it's way beyond our expertise. Have fun at Harvard/MIT explaining your ethics to yourselves. Make a charity if you really want donated cpu time and be honest that your work is really about researching molecular dynamics. Solar power is a remote spin off. A complete guess and no real reason that all this donated cpu time will actually help find anything. Of course if it does find something, the data is obfuscated in such a way that a company can make a patent on the data it has mined from the data we have crunched. JOKE ON US. GG and Good bye. Incredible that in more than four years here, did not see so bad driven opinion and ideas before read yours... But you have your free arbitrium to decide ways... pick yours and good bye and please don't take more time here... once your opinion is clear that this project is not for you, maybe you will get something that feed your needs with SETI (that is a serious and scientific based project which launch and develop the first and main rules and principles of web based grid computing in the world more than ten years ago, and don't need opportunistics people crunching to discover anything there) or maybe you need try crunch in other project (try GIMPS for instance... you will really get something if discover anything about that monster numbers... up to you ajpr !). 
Cheers ! GIB@

Thanks ajpr for your 0:001:18:33:51 and 4 results. Thats 4 we don't have to do. We wish you all the best in your research into crop circles.

Wow...amazing. I'm kind of speechless but here we go.
----------------------------------------I was a member of SETI@Home years ago with my AMD K2 computer. It was fun, it was the first grid computing thing I did. Yes, you'll get credit IF your computer was one of the ones that crunch that particular WU with the detected signal. But you aren't going to be paraded around. You'll be a small line in a list of hundreds or thousands of other people who helped contribute to the entire SETI project. That's great! But honestly, I view that there are priorities. Lets worry about OUR planet and problems first. Lets solve the cancer, AIDS, hunger, and power issues on OUR planet first. If we can solve all those in my lifetime then I'll happily switch back over to SETI to try and find ET. I believe there are others out there but they can't help us. The signal we might detect would probably be a techno radio station from them that they aired thousands or hundred of thousands of years ago. So how would that really benefit us right now with the issues we have .... right now? So go on back to SETI, I'm sure they will be glad to have you back. I don't wish anything on anyone...but look at your selfishness decision down the road if you, a family member, or friend might get cancer. You never know, YOUR computer might have crunched the unit that would have led to a new drug that helps. But since WCG doesn't give credit to a single user...but to the whole team...you're not interested. Later loser. [Edit 1 times, last edit by Former Member at Dec 19, 2008 2:34:26 PM] |

I think we have been spammed. member ajpr has never crunched a WU for Seti. The only tasks worked on are Einstein & the 4 WCG WU.

Guys, don't feed this troll. In all honesty, SETI needs people right now anyway, so at least the project will get one more user. If you don't believe in WCG, then don't do it. That is your prerogative. Moving on..
Let's move on to more positive things like Holiday crunching! :) |

This might help explain to ajpr the concept of giving http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=YUhb0XII93I I love that clip.    |

I just returned from a 48 mile round trip to attend a meeting of a Boy Scout troop that I have been associated with for several years. I didn't get paid for that involvement either, but I do figure that I might possibly have a positive effect on some of the young boys that I work with in that capacity.
----------------------------------------Pretty much the same thing here. The pay is the same and the outcome may be similar in the long run, although there is no way of knowing now or perhaps even in my lifetime. In both cases I volunteer time -- and money -- to perhaps make a contribution to "projects" where I just might make a difference. That would appear to be a concept that is totally foreign to people such as ajpr. All I can say is "good riddance."

well I dont post reply's very much on forums ,but this on made me angry!
my wife just lost her mom in October from stage 4 glioblastoma brain cancer and I would like to think that anything I can do to make someones life better is worth a little bit of my time and energy!! The way I look at it is my 8 computers ,one quad and my friends will make up for his loss In about an .5 hour So we dont need him and we don't do this to be known or popular just a little rant!! keep crunching!!!!!!!!!!! |
