My first and I waited until I was 47. Problem finally solved via a fertility doctor.
The kids will get me back in shape and help me feel younger(older?).  The wife runs a childcare and I love to get on the floor and play games with the kids so I am going to enjoy this time of my life.  |

Anyway they come just in time. You will now have to fly on your own. The Marines will win this race due to their higher firepower, but we have fought bravely and gallantly. My planes are back to base for a very long overhaul so I changed my jets with a glider for a nice long cross country flight over the rockies.

Does anyone know if Newegg, Tiger Direct or Fry's Electronics have Baby Registries?
I wonder how hard it would be to convince the wife the twins really want/need a new system and 3 new GPU's?  Why do I get the feeling I might not be successful?   Hypernova- Your glider is still faster than most powered aircraft right now. I wish you many updrafts over the mountain slopes.  |

Is this team running WCG on government workstations? The reason I'm asking is that I am in the process of trying to get BOINC and the WCG project installed on US Department of Agriculture workstations. I am in the middle of writing a white paper and I am trying to find other U.S. Government agencies that might be using BOINC or the WCG client on actual government workstations.
----------------------------------------I am hoping that in the future my WCG team "USDA Supporters" will become the actual official USDA team.  |

I would have loved to be running on US Air Force hardware. But no I have to buy my fuel, fly and service my planes.
----------------------------------------But USAF is welcome to help. |

The Air Force network administrators will not allow BOINC to be run on Government computers because of security concerns. It is also illegal to use U.S. Government resources for anything other than U.S. Government official business. (There are small exceptions for internet use during lunch and break periods)
----------------------------------------This team is all comprised of personal computers of active, retired and just supporters of the Air Force team. I have heard "rumors" (no confirmation or denial) that the Navy allows BOINC to be run. I have never heard from the Navy team that this is fact. I reiterate that I am not saying that the Navy uses Government resources to run BOINC. [Edit 1 times, last edit by Former Member at May 8, 2013 5:48:25 AM] |
