I am not questioning my sanity, but I am starting to get real worried about the world around me. For exampleNow why would you even say that? Listen up people! DDDT2 product has now completed 1.0784% of the expected tasks

That means that over 98.9% of the project is still to come. Good time to start to give up.

Why the constant, repetitive whining? Do you think that the staff are going to work ANY harder if you whine? Do you really think that the rest of us care about why you are whining? WE DON'T. Do you think the Techs have time to write posts to the forum telling you the obvious: PLEASE BE PATIENT.

Work on another project, go swimming, go outside and shoot something. Do something to keep yourself busy. Man, it's really irritating. Same for the thread on the 'wingman'. Go find something exciting that makes you feel better. As for me, I am going to karate class to lay a hurt on a piece of 3/4" ash so I will feel better (thanks for asking).

As stated above please start your own thread regarding badges and project weight - that is not the purpose of this thread.

Then at 1/2 of one percent in two months, it will only take 33 years to complete. That's almost half of the original estimate of this thread of 60 years. We have made great progress already!!!!

"Figures lie and liars figure."

I stand corrected. Then we are not almost halfway done? Man-o-man do we suck!!!



EDIT: OK I get it now. We have actually made negative progress. Since we crunched 1/2 of one percent of a 60 year project and the result is a 100 year project then the more we crunch the longer it will take and we can never complete it!! Eureka, I got it.

It has been a loooong time since I studied math but I am reminded of the realm of imaginary numbers. Does the square of an imaginary number still equal a non-positive real number? Does the square root of a negative real number still result in both a positive and non-positive imaginary number? It's been a long time and I forget.

Nope. Wrong again. The reason that the DDDT2 WU are intermittent is that the SCIENTISTS (remember them) have decided to review the results of each batch (at least all work up to now) before the next batch is released to WCG. This means that the Type A units are reviewed after they are all returned to the scientists before they release the resulting B units. This creates a pause between the batches.

What extends the wait is that all results must be returned and reviewed, thereby forcing the scientists to wait until the last WU is returned (no doubt a repair unit), then review the final results, then release. It takes time.

Finally, you may ask why it is so? It is because the scientists have decided that this is how THEIR research is going to work. Their research, their decision, we wait, hence intermittent. Let's not make them out to be the bad guy. This is their life's work.

The reason that there are no CEP2 Windows WU yet is because WCG, in collaboration with the scientists, decided to roll out the Linux version first. For once, the Linux users got a project first instead of the Windows users. What a nice change for the Linux crunchers. Meanshile the Windows and Apple users get to wait.
