| I really don't understand why people wouldn't be more willing to support the folding@home rather then trying to find intelligent life with seti. Folding does resreach they may cure disease and i find that much more relivent to my life and human life in general. Thats just my 2 cents I haven't done a ton of research on the topic but the little i have done makes me want to support folding more any reasons I should change my mind?? |

| I think both projects are worthwhile. I happen to run Folding@home, but that's mainly because the SETI project is oversaturated with participants, given their relatively small search space. Folding, on the other hand, has a much larger search space by virtue of the long and compute-intensive process it takes to fold a protein in different configurations and heat environments. But I certainly don't blame anybody who wants to run SETI. It does admittedly have more 'sex appeal' than protein folding. |

| My reasoning is fairly simple. I'd be more interested in finding intelligent life than a cure for a disease. People are supposed to die and the world is over populated. |

I agree with pjp, the world is very over populated. I believe the Seti project has less chance of succeeding but will have far more in pact on our world. Think about it we would finally have trouble being divided by petty differences ( ie Religion, skin color, nationality, ethnicity ) and we could finally stand united as one race. But as human nature goes we would probably hate the aliens because they are different..... Anyway I view the seti project as only having a tiny percentage of success but, what if it does succeed

I hope you're kidding. Really. Ehrm.
/me starts running for his life...
I wonder about the top perfomer page.. really
since some weeks i'm not listed anymore, even if it seems to work correctly, but
the lowest people listed produce about 8-9 workunits per day.
I'm producing about 16 every day.
Box 1: 3-4h = 6-8 units
Box 2: 3.5-4h = 6-7 units
Box 3: 8h = 3 units
Box 4: 60h = 0.4 units
----------------------------
15-18 units

LOL, anyway I noticed my colleges IIS server now isnt working right, it wont transfer jsp to resin, for my stats page. So I got a user account of our student run solaris server, and turned it into php:
http://galaxy.bvu.edu/~lampe/seti/gentoostats/
Sorry about that. ( That is if anyone looks at my stats page )
Also if anyone wants me to make a page to keep track of country's stats or anything....I have kinda run out of projects that I wanted to do for summer.

interesting, your statspage claims i returned 5 units within the last 24 hours.
guess i setup a buffer at one of the faster machines, so it returns just once a week or so, got to check this

I think that would be great. Not sure why, but the script I was using has suddenly stopped working properly. |

I'll swtich to folding@home as soon as it actually cures a disease. As of now, I do SETI@home because of the personal irony in using wasted CPU cycles to do something that is considered to be a waste by almost everyone I know.

The way it works is it download's the xml each night starting at 12:04 and runs every 5 minutes until 12:59 ( US Central time ). And compairs the current xml with the one taken from the previous night. Then uploads them to the webserver. So I think that it is pretty accurate.

Ok I will either start that tonight or tomorrow night...Hopefully with all the java classes for downloading and parsing an xml document already written for the previous one it should happen fairly quickly.

Don't forget that most modern Linux distributions execute a HLT instruction, which does not really waste any cycles and conserves power.
If you want to run a distributed project like this, run it for the science and not to "reclaim wasted CPU cycles". |

due a new feature of PHP I have problems reading extrenal files. I believe this is also the reason that lately the stats of mine are a total mess. When i have a proper solution the stats will be normal again. My apologies to all you stat freaks

I just finished my 1st wu, and Seti stat reported that "You have completed more work units than 34.270% of our users "  |

Huzzah!
I will momentarily complete my 10,000th work unit! It has been precisely 379 days (one year, two weeks) since I joined SETI@home, and I have contributed 10.667 years of CPU time to the Gentoo SETI team.
I've completed more work units than 99.719% other SETI users, ranking 13,138 of over 4.6 million users. I've also maintained a position in the top 10 of the Gentoo SETI team since I joined very early on, now in rank 7.
So -- join the Gentoo SETI team. It's fun.

Ouch I check the logs and I find that it hasn't been ftping it over!! It fails on my password, so I go talk to the server admin and he had changed something over the weekend about 3 weeks ago and in the shells file ( solaris so I dont really understand a whole lot ) he capitalized /Bin/csh instead of /bin/csh ( he had never worked with vi) so ftping should work by the end of the week. Sorry about this!
