Hey, could be just coincidence but just saw that the last two posters have same badges but one in silver (Snow Crash) and other in bronze (Nemezis). Maybe you have just too much free time on your hands. Maybe its a conspiracy. |

I have over 2000,000 points and am only in the top 10,000. I thought the badges were a nice gesture on the part of WCG. I really appreciate the recognition.
I have been running computers on WCG since the begining and will continue to do so with or without any recognition. The badges make for an interesting aside from the mostly routine nature of these computations. |

I have been running computers on WCG since the begining and will continue to do so with or without any recognition. The badges make for an interesting aside from the mostly routine nature of these computations. Why do you say since the begining. You started the 18th of november. I started the 17th of november. You were late by one day.  More seriously, badges are a good thing i think. It is a recognition of the work produced by our computers. It can also make some competition : who will get the more badges, gold for that project or an other one ... And finally, keep members crunching. I have a lot of badges and i find funny to get as lot as possible but in fact, it is just for the fun. My first motivation is to help scientist to find solution for those fuc...g problem, such as cancer, AIDS, ... And that's why i am still crunching and crunch more and more. I have a couple of computers that does quite nothing normaly, i have enough money to keep them running to crunch while i'm not sleeping (it would be too hot in my bedroom if i let them run during the night), so i do it. It is my part of help for scientists. Also, if you select one particular project to get a badge, don't think that the other projects will go slowly because of that. According to what i know about who works WCG, all the projects have a quota of WU each day. If you select a project, the WU from the others will be crunched by other members anyway. That's why when a new project start, i select it until i get the badge and then restart crunching every project. We are thousands to do like that just for fun about badges but i'm quite sure all the project goes as quick as it is planned. May be a CA could confirm this. Have a good crunch every body and continu to help scientists. Have a good sunday. Edited to correct my poor english. ---------------------------------------- [Edit 1 times, last edit by boulmontjj at Mar 22, 2009 4:25:15 PM] |

Pretty much yes boulmontjj, but if too many members switch to specific selections i.e. too few all project crunchers, than the not so preferred / high profile projects slow down. After all, all project should be an all projects experience and not just the left overs, where a ratio of 20 hpf2 on 1 rice or something similar for a considerable group would not be satisfactory.
----------------------------------------Anyway, WCG juggles the pool, pushes sometimes some extra important experiment and slows others due to too high data volume for the scientists or technical reasons, as was experienced with Dengue. Fortunately the bulk of WCG work is zero redundancy distributed (RICE and HPF2 are too, each work unit unique), so the generated work moving to the scientists is much greater than other external projects where there is only quorum 2 or 3. cheers, and yes the badges are for fun, challenges are for fun, stampedes are for fun... why not combine the serious with a little smile to grow our grid :D

just gone gold
...now I'm going to slow down my work for CEP to give others the chance to get some more rare-as-gold CEP work units |
