Even though I have fully dedicated the past couple of weeks on completing SETI work units, I have now switched to the UD Cancer Research team and I would recommend most people to do so as well.

Though it's hard to put your efforts behind and start from zero on this new project, I would still recommend you to do so as we will be unifying forces once I start promoting the "Team TechSpot" on the site and it's much more likely it's going to be either UD or Folding but definitely not SETI.

And of course, you will also want to switch inmediately considering that we are a few weeks away from promoting the team officially and you won't want to run at the bottom of the charts

A little update on the small SETI@Home team.

http://setiathome.ssl.berkeley.edu/s...am_148104.html

We should all congratulate Papa for passing the 2K mark a little while ago. I think SETI@Home is only running on his Mac machines due to the lack of an UD client on MacOS.

A big to Timmoore who's nearing 500 returned results allready. Keep crunching those packets & keep those CPUs heated.

We're also nearing 6K returned results for the whole team. So whoever is interested, download the CLI client & start looking for little green neighbours.

Blimey, Tim is working fast! He won't overtake me just yet, but if he keeps this up...

*looks around the room to see if he can't build another machine to look for ET's*

So now you're running UD & SETI ?

How many machines are you running these on ?

I'm currently running SETI@Home from a RamDrive, but I don't know if it has a big impact on times.

If you wish to try it out, download the free RamDrive utility from Microsoft ( http://support.microsoft.com/default...57405&SD=MSKB& ).

Install it following the ReadMe, instructions & enable it by changing the registry key :

"HKey Local Machine\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Fastfat\Start"

from 4 to 1.

PS. You are limited to 32mb with this utility, or you can download another one here ( Link provided by http://www.jurixt.com/xp/xp_18.htm ).

Over the past few weeks we've been getting reports from users who found unauthorized installations of SETI@home on their systems. It should be made clear that this is not due to a security flaw in SETI@home itself, but a flaw in your system that allows viruses to infiltrate and install our software. As well, this seems to be only a problem for people using Windows operating systems.

In one case, a user found a Windows command line client running under the name "cpuidle" in the directory:


D:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc\CPUIDLE

There is a real program out there called "cpuidle" - this particular infection was running SETI@home under this same name to confuse the user into thinking it was the valid "cpuidle" and not a fake one.

Another user claimed that they got infected this way over an IRC channel.
Why didn't I think of that ?

*Update*

I'd like to welcome Spike, Dantrag & AcidOsmosis to the team. We need all the crunching power we can get.

We're closing in on the 10K Mark.

I thought you did, how do you explain all of those extra results that show up on your machine?

I'm still busy with UD cancer research. I sense a more realistic payoff than crunching space static.

-=( Update )=-

Well we've passed the 8 years of computing time barrier ( Papeh provided 4 years by himself :eek: ).

We also have some new members crunching -> Sngx & Acid ( Smoking !!! ).

Mic is also back after a small hiatus.

Next Milestone -> 10K results so keep those CPUs busy !!!

Cool!

And nice to see that more are joining us!
(Yeah, I know I haven't been reading this thread for a while...)

But it's pretty sad that the "owner" of the team isn't crunching anymore... Didou, can't you whoop him over the head with a keyboard until he starts crunching again?

DA hasn't really been crunching anything anymore. He's also the "owner" of the UD team.
