So, you can merge your hosts on other projects, which have already been upgraded to the latest version of boinc server, right?


Yep. It works on SETI, and all of the newer projects (aps, cosmology, etc).

It would work on any server upgraded to a version 5.11.

I quote MarkS, admin on the project superlinkattechnion

Friends,

SUPERLINK@TECHNION server crash

To all those who is wondering what's going on with SUPERLINK@TECHNION project: our server's HDD crashed completely, and it will take us about one week to recover, hopefully less than that.
We do have backups, so user information is likely to be preserved.

A door was opened and will never be closed.
I do not think that people are aware of the gravity of what's happened.
Legitimate questions are born and are without answer so far : what has to be the relations between a project and crunchers ? What are the responsibilities, the respective roles of each ?
What is the right of each for the information or the possibilities of access to the information ? what information ?
Is it possible to protect people against any hostile project ?
I also wonder about the behavior of the teams and the individuals.

I don't think that Mo.v defended P@H actions but she was always keeping up a way of being polite when asking questions and trying to explain the original Wate issue.
I liked her postings very much because she never was unfair. Even when she realized that dlb didn't really like any suggestions about how the situation could be improved without harsh restrictions towards the "bad" users.

Also she showed a delightful sense of humor when she posted this one on April 1st... have a good laugh at it! I still have to giggle when I read it... ;-)

But the best thing now is definitely "forget this" and stay with better projects like Docking. Wish you a happy weekend and of course happy crunching! :-)

The best thing is indeed to stay with better projects but without forgotting what's happened at Predictor.

I agree that's it's too bad you're moving to the East coast, but I bet it'll be nice to see some trees!

Andre, are you actually building a plane? Which one? I haven't flown since 1991, and I miss it!


This seems to be the most likely candidate: http://www.vansaircraft.com/public/rv-9int.htm
Don't you just love the looks of this plane...

Cheers
Andre

I like the plane with the colors white and yellow. ;)

edit :
and what thinks The University of Delaware about a Boinc project ?
Happy to have Docking@home on their campus ?


Of course! That's why they hire Michela: to get free world-wide advertisement of their university. Hords of new students will apply to them just because they have heard of the university from their favorite boinc project. That's a no-brainer isn't it?

Cheers
Andre

They will succeed about the advertissement.
Because i didn't know this university (same for the University of Texas), -> google (or any search engine) is your friend ;)

Maybe my question is stupid but why this FCC ?
i don't crunch for the credits and if i was here for the credits, i would want probably more.
