@ Ice
If/when I go offline I wont be able to post unless I go to someplace that will allow me to use their computer, I dont know many people that are geographicaly close enough to me that are online and would let me access the internet from there. Family would gladly let me use their computers but the closest family member is aprox 45 Km away, with no wheels I dont get to see them very often. I'll try to post when I can but it wont be very often. Hope Travis has MW up n' running when I come back, possibly in about 4 months but thats only a guess at this time, I will be back, not sure how long though. Anyway treat my WU's nice ok.
Bruce ;-p


Hi Bruce, The public libraries have 'free to use' computers connected to high-speed internet pipe. Maybe there is one near you ...

From news section on front page:

I was just about to post about sensibility of this move (increasing WU length) in the "Thank you" thread, until I checked results. Times are double, while credits remain the same, so we were screwed once again. And just when I got MW to crunch on my 5870 without VPU crashes and recoveries every 12 - 24h. So, I'd like to thank you for sticking it up our arses, by only doing one half of what you were supposed to do, once again!
I'm joining boosted and other top users in going 100% Collatz. Thanks for making at least this decision an easy one.


Vid, have you been listening to Laibach at extreme volumes? :-)

Nobody at RPI is trying to 'screw' you or anyone else that is crunching here. Let's collar that dog and give Travis and his team a bit of time to work things out. The MW team and the faculty that runs this project wants it to succeed!

BTW - Laibach rules!

This site is so damn slow I have to retry typing this post again!!! This Database is going to continue to crash until some changes are made! It just cant take the amount of traffic that it gets. I'll make it easier for them, 3 less computers contacting the server!!!! BYE-BYE


Hey Bruce - hate to see you go man ... The holidays are coming! Not too many Canucks around here - don't leave me all alone :-)

You don't want to really split ... I know that MW is slow on occassion - but hey, I noticed you are crunching over at Collatz; do you feel that that site is faster? Come on ...

Barkeep, a round for the boys on me ...

Cheers!

Hei!

Is this version stable with Vista Home Basic? I've heard that .13 is better for Vista users...

Cheers
