Anyone notice that connections seem more difficult after restarting the
BOINC servers from this Wednesday outrage?
I have WU results still hanging around in BOINC Manager, and the
connection attempts (and backing off for next attempt) are long. New WU

With the increasing success of detecting planets around other star systems,
the time is near that we will detect the first Earth-like planets (if they
are there) orbiting stars other than the sun.
If, and when we do so, I'm sure that scientists will go the next step, to

Any idea what's going on?
Is SetiDriver & the seti@home engine it worked with not functioning
anymore?

Last week we finished the first phase of the science "migration." What

How do I reset my boinc preferences to the original settings.

I'm running SetiAtHome 3.08 and SetiQueue 3.03.2.2b on my home network.

Just curious as to what add-on programs folks are using with Boinc.
I'm using "BoincLogX" and "Seti @ home-MapView".
With Seti Classic, I had used "SetiMon" and "StarMap", but unfortunetly
"SetiMon" doesn't work with Boinc -- which is unfortunate since "SetiMon"
