I'm asking a genuine question. I assume we are still doing real science. I've reached my goal. Main reason I was asking weather it was real science is because I am more than happy to help finish the work so they get towards finding a cure for MD

I'm thinking they are just scraping the bottom of the barrel a.t.m., it's all good.  Work that is.  |

Yup, when any project nears completion the scientists and WCG techs do an audit to turn up any work that was missed or incomplete for whatever reason. That's what we're seeing now.

Main reason I was asking weather it was real science is because I am more than happy to help finish the work so they get towards finding a cure for MD Around 5 years ago Seti was found to be resending old work for works sake, just to keep the users pc's busy until they could get some new workunits. The HOLY HECK that was raised then was such that ALOT of people left Seti and their money coming in dropped like a rock, the project is now down to just a few days a week that it is online. I am pretty sure that any project would just stop sending work instead of go thru what Seti did back then.   |

That's a Deja Vu of a Deja Vu of some weeks ago. WCG has so much work lined up, that the base of even contemplating recycling is just far off the planet. House keeping is done at every project / phase / experiment end to ensure all that has to be crunched and could be crunched has made it into the master database. Some work at times gets withdrawn too for one or the other parm bug reason (we are familiar with the out of bound results crashing). These may or may not get resubmitted with in different task rebuilds.

All my Linux machines have run dry - only getting WUs on Windows machines at the moment.

Dry machines would to me be completely intolerable. At the very least I've got 2 backup projects set for these situations where I cant be at the button and switch, soon as a "No work for..." starts showing.
