Hi,
since I went to the Boinc stuff, I've been running on Boinc v. 4.13
with 4 machines. Never a prob, so I simply left it at that.
Last nite one of the machines came up with "message from server: no

Since about 22.45 pm (UTC) last night my small PC farm is working on the
BOINC-SETI reserves. I am of the believe this is as a result of the DNS
switch announced on the Technical News yesterday ...

I had no idea that the concept of life outside the earth was in any way
offensive.  To me it appears as the next great leap for mankind.
The hope that alien life would be found early on Mars seemed to be dashed by

transmitting ET civilizations in our galaxy.  In the video he has

Since 90% of posts here are DC'ers complaining about how f...k'd up
SETI/Boinc is, I am happy to say that SETI is now taking work units back and
sending out new ones. Thanks to the team at Berkely for their efforts. And

overcommitment. In fact there has never been less work than now. I
have already tried deinstalling and reinstalling BOINC (4.45) to no

As a new starter to BOINC-SETI (16th July), coming over from Classic, I
see the number of work units downloaded and available seems fine (if
slow). However, the number of completed results ready to send back seems
to be growing.

BOINC 4.45: It runs in XP 'Admin' mode, but not 'Privileged User' mode:
solutions?

The girl I rescued from a frozen lake became qualified and was about to fly
the the US to work in the American space program.
She was giving lectures about her belief in life on Mars and evidence from a
NASA photograph that she saw on an official site on the web.
