I have an announcement to make - The nebula in the sky are currently changing (or depending on when you read this, have already changed).

I made a video so that you could see what is actually being hidden from us right this minute.

Now, please understand that I am changing the nebula backwards through time, so EVERY IMAGE OF THESE NEBULA is changing even before your eyes, it's just taking time as the effect of the change ripples back to us through spacetime.

Please watch the video here : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WiOBVFe2jek

And feel free to check my information with any sources you can.

I built the future and gave this world a utopia where nobody dies, and now I have proof. Check out the video please, and comment all you want. There's more coming.
Also check out the Hubble image data for ANY nebula on it's page right now. They are ALL changing to include my art inside them. You will now see vivid pictures of HUMNAS, DOGS, CATS, SPACESHIPS, ALIENS, and all kinds of things.

I'd like to let you know not to be scared, everything is going to be so soooo much better now. Now quit reading this, because I know you think I'm a nutjob, and go watch the video and check the hubble photos!!!!

Thank you!

Today I passed 2,000,000 credits, and I'd just like to say I'm very happy to have been a member of this project since day 1.

Onward to 3 million! Hopefully I can wiggle my way back into the top 200 over the next few months :)

Still getting these workunits. Had 6 today with 42 hours elapsed time..

They shouldn't be sent out if they are going to do this.

1d4h1hih_ <--- Workunits start with this prefix.

Getting Lots of these. Are these the WU that have been canceled on your end "going through the motions?", I'm assuming so, considering the nature of the error message indicating that the input files might be blanked out. Never processed any cancelled work before to my knowledge, so.... Is that what it is or is this a new problem?

Yes, please abort them too. Thanks!

My current group of troublesome workunits all have names beginning with 1m0b1htf; should I abort all of them too?



Aborted.

Could you let us know when you have a new batch of workunits that have been adequately tested under 64-bit Windows 7, and the other versions of Windows mentioned recently in this thread?


I have new workunits today with 1hbv1hih string at the beginning. All 8 of them 2 hours in and 0% complete.

During the past weekend, the space on D@H server is getting filled up and as a result, the server sent out some incomplete workunits, please abort workunits with name "1iiq1hih" or "1ohr1hih". Currently, the server is back to normal again.

Thanks for letting us know and bear with us during the difficulty!

Boyu



I have the 0 % problem on 3 WU that start with 1m0b1htf, some work just fine, though. What should I do?



I also have the 0% problem with 3 WU that start with "1m0b1htf", and also 3 that start with "1ohr1htf". They are over 20 hours and counting, noticed it this morning.

Sorry, but if Docking brings in a GPU client then I will no longer devote my computing power to this project.


Why??


My CPU cycles, my choice...


That's an incredibly unctuous position to take, assuming you know all the facts.

Your credit is rudimentially based off of how much 'work' is performed. It has NOTHING to do with the 'type' of processor you use to complete it. Did you know that most projects would not benefit any more with a GPU app, then they would a CPU app? - Just because there are projects out there that are lucky enough to have the type of work that flourishes on a GPU, doesn't mean that every project will bear the same fruit.

The only logical 'Non-inflammatory' version of deciphering why you would want to leave this project would be that you don't have a GPU to devote to docking@home, are assuming that a Docking GPU application would swallow your position in the leaderboard with GPU-enabled machines, and you are graciously going to offer your CPU to a project that lacks a GPU application. When presented *as i now have articulated it* this is a truly altruistic and wonderful thing for a person to do - HOWEVER Your candor and 'tune' tell us, this is certainly not the case.

I'm going to just blankly *assume* that since you listed your current rank, along with your statement that you are selfishly devoting your resources to this project solely so you can climb a stats chart(?!), and are now THREATENING the project with your 'defection' should we open up a possibly stronger avenue of research. ---- Well... now that we know that you could give a crap about the HIV(and other) science being done here: I'll freely concede that stats are important to everyone, However -*THIS ARGUMENT ASIDE*- If another avenue of gaining credit presents itself, what's so hard about opening up your computer to a little GPU work? - Technology changes. Change with it, or get left behind. <-- Oh, and this isn't your choice.

I hear this same crap everytime a new version of windows comes out, or a new car hits the market. I suppose when we all get complacent with what we got we can have our whoopie goldberg moment, but your troll-worthy comment is ultimately thoughtless, just like her.

Oh and by the way - Your paltry 4 million credits will pale in comparison to what my GPU array will do, were we to lose you. I personally don't care about the credits, but god forbid we actually focus on the science being performed and curing diseases rather than our own egos.

Now I don't want to scare you away from projects, but what I would strongly advise you to do is to find a project you feel passionately about. As you can tell - This one is mine. I could care less if I am in last place, I am here because I believe in what this project is trying to do. I hope that one day, something that we do here (possibly through even my own machine) will help in the fight against HIV. Since you clearly are more interested in your credits rather than innovating, adapting, or merely contributing what you can - I really think you need to find projects you actually care about. - That way when things like this change that push you down the stats list, you can still feel good about yourself without stroking the ego button.
