22) Message boards : News : Make-Up Credits to Run Wednesday and Thursday (Message 50268) Posted 20 Jul 2011 by Simplex0 Post: working just fine here. And D.A. Pinniger! I think that Werkstaff's post had zero to do with how the labstaff works, it is how the time is SHOWN. As an example we can take a look at Matthew's firs post here. In the message header at the top you can read... Message 50213 - Posted: 18 Jul 2011 \| 23:11:26 UTC The idea was just that the start time should be posted and shown in UTC time.

We do not control their hours. I think he meant that the 'starting time' should be shown in UTC hours. If that can be done everybody will see the proper local start time of the double credit regardles of their location \ time zone.

26) Message boards : Number crunching : Marked as 'Invalid' and Exit status = 0 (Message 50178) Posted 18 Jul 2011 by Simplex0 Post: Ok. Thank you Link. It seams to happen rarely so it is no big deal I guess. Just curious what the cause could be, maybe my HD which is rather old on the box it happened.
27) Message boards : Number crunching : Marked as 'Invalid' and Exit status = 0 (Message 50167) Posted 18 Jul 2011 by Simplex0 Post: Yes it is but there was no 'Error while computing' so the question is was it caused by a bad wu or does my computer malfunktion?

30) Message boards : News : DOUBLE CREDITS Fundraiser - Request for Funding for MilkyWay@home (Message 50128) Posted 17 Jul 2011 by Simplex0 Post: APOLOGY TO MILKYWAY There was a discussion going on at another project regarding the issue of paying money for credit. I referred to the recent Milkyway announcement we are discussing here, and pointed out that it was mainly to support a PhD student, the extra credit was a by-product. The information was public knowlege anyway, but it has been pointed out to me that I may have inadvertently generated negative publicity for this project. If that is the case, I apologise, that was never my intention. Chris S Cris S! I can't see that you did anything wrong at all. We belong both to the Milkyway & the BOINC community and, hopefully, living in a free world. If peopel tells you that you can't discuss, with in the BOINC community, questions that belongs both to the Milkyway & BOINC community they are wrong. People have, and will always have, different point of view but banning people that want to debate the differences is just the wrong way to go.
31) Message boards : News : maximum time limit elapsed bug (Message 50126) Posted 17 Jul 2011 by Simplex0 Post: Strange... Maybe it is related to the BOINC manager version? I use BOINC 6.10.60.
32) Message boards : News : DOUBLE CREDITS Fundraiser - Request for Funding for MilkyWay@home (Message 50124) Posted 17 Jul 2011 by Simplex0 Post: Blurf! Do you have a ok. from the BOINC staff \ administration to connect funding with extra credit or do you not need their permission? Simplex I did not post the announcement....please look at who the announcement was written by. It was written by Professor Heidi Newberg and posted by Matthew Newby. So the answer to your question is YES all MW Admins and Staff are fully involved. You misunderstand me Blurf. I asked if you had a ok. from the BOINC staff \ administration, not the MW Admins and Staff. EDIT: I think that the question \ concept of connect funding with extra credit should be handled both by the Milkyway- and BOINC staff and need a Ok. from both. We also belong to the BOINC community, not just Milkyway.
33) Message boards : News : maximum time limit elapsed bug (Message 50123) Posted 17 Jul 2011 by Simplex0 Post: My ATI system is failing with this error. It has 5850 and 4890. All the CUDA systems run ok. ATI systems: http://milkyway.cs.rpi.edu/milkyway/results.php?hostid=260372 Try to roll back to the catalyst 11.3 driver. I had the same probelm before on my crossfire setup ( 2X5870) box here but now when I use catalyst 11.3 it's working fine. Older Catalyst drivers is on this page

36) Message boards : News : DOUBLE CREDITS Fundraiser - Request for Funding for MilkyWay@home (Message 50097) Posted 14 Jul 2011 by Simplex0 Post: Chris! The main issue here is not the credit it self. It is all about that the staff must learn to stand by their own words & promises (Beyond had a beter expression for this:) ) and it seams to be sorted out now.
37) Message boards : News : DOUBLE CREDITS Fundraiser - Request for Funding for MilkyWay@home (Message 50088) Posted 14 Jul 2011 by Simplex0 Post: Sort of. We get 1 day double credit and the rest depends on how much we pay.
38) Message boards : News : DOUBLE CREDITS Fundraiser - Request for Funding for MilkyWay@home (Message 50086) Posted 14 Jul 2011 by Simplex0 Post: I read it as that you have to 'pay' if you want any 'double credit'.

Just glad we are back on line.
