* I have a bug to report as well, even the X86-64 version runs in 32bit mode on my machine.


There isn't a 64 bit binary yet. Windows is a pain, and I need to do some work to get an actual 64 bit version. It will be 64 bit eventually; it's quite a bit faster for this.

Hm, then why do we have two apps for Windos now?
It's a bit misleading if one is called x86_64 when it's in fact a 32-bit app... ;-)

What's wrong with Arial? its good enough for me...

I don't mind using Arial because it's without serifs!! :-)

PS. Someone already seems to have changed the font style for the new design and now the front page looks much better. :-)))
And I see a server status link has been added to the main page, too! Sweet! :-)

I find the new design quite ok. But what I really don't like is the use of serif fonts like Times New Roman - I always found those are not very well readable!
Funny enough these fonts with serifs are not shown on the front page unless you hover over the columns or click on them and then the next page is all in the new serif font, too.
I'd prefer a consistent font style (without serifs) throughout all pages. ;-)

EDIT: The above applies to using FF 3.6 - with IE also the front page shows with serif font. Argh... *grin*

Time to add another bug to our longstanding issues list:

Travis cracking open a beer after a long day causes the server to crash.

To the previous list of:

Travis going to sleep frequently causes the server to crash.
and
Travis going on a ski/snowboarding trip frequently causes the server to crash.

Lets see now, gathering all the words that are common to all three of the above:
"Travis causes the server to crash" ;-)
I suggest you have another beer after that revelation!
Travis, it would appear that you and Murphy are well acquainted.
Time to remove tongue from cheek...


1+ *smiles*

Dropped a kung fu bomb on the server last night...

You can ask me next time, I'm known as notorious 'Kaboom girlie' in BOINCdom...

I'm usually looking here: http://www.amd.com/us/Pages/AMDHomePage.aspx
On the right you can choose your appropriate OS and GPU type etc and then you should be directed to the correct pages.
I am using Catalyst 10.2 currently (without CCC) and it's fine for me (here and on Collatz or DNETC, too). :-)

Post:
Any comment from the admin's to this proposal ?


I'll look into it, but like the above poster said if you can effectively do the same thing with a project reset it might not be worth the effort.


A project reset clears 'unused' files for the moment but I also have experienced that those files might be downloaded again after the next server contact (for example when asking for new work).

Kann man so allgemein auch nicht sagen. Vielleicht vertragen andere Projekte einfach grössere Abweichungen bei den Ergebnissen. Eine geringere Fehlertoleranz ist aber kein "Fehler" des Projektes. :-P
