Re: "Computing for sustainable water" vs CFCW ?

in fact, i believe there are too many projects on the WCG
Please confirm to us all that you are just kidding. Too much scientific research? The real problem is that there are not enough computers on WCG and not enough people committed to getting the job done.

Surely the 'too many projects' statement is in jest..... wink

Re: "Computing for sustainable water" vs CFCW ?

Gentlemen, Do you know intangible heritage or traditional know how ???? Too many research programs have already answers in common sens and intangible heritage. In my university, 3 researchers have had money for a 2 years research program to show "scientifically" that children with sports activities are in better health ...... !!!!! ;-) it's so stupid !!!!

Our "MODERN" societies want always more, have always more needs........ and give others lessons on human right and civilization !!!!

Of course, in a hulan society with an infinite supply of money, and infinite supply of computers, with an infinite of material ressources / energy, we could live all like Warren Buffet..... and run 100 projects on the WCG. But a child understand ressources are limited for everyone !!!!!

WCG is a wonderful tool !!!, it's like a super computer for free !!!! I just regret the WCG was not focused on major projects. It's my personal view.

Re: "Computing for sustainable water" vs CFCW ?

Currently and for the future, we are at the end of major 2 periods in history of humanity :

since 1694, the financial world has found the right ideas to create money from nothing for Developed countries.

Since 1945, the US dollar is the king of world.

in a near future, the financial world will be paralyzed and ready for deflation, and the dollar will lost his value. We have no tools to make serious socio -economical analysis after 2020!!!

it's the reason i wanted to see C4CW finished for last XMas and i don't understand the WCG which lauch new projects

Re: "Computing for sustainable water" vs CFCW ?

The US dollar is BY FAR from king. It's used as a benchmark since the US has highest gdp. Further, its also used as a benchmark for oil, which is also dumb IMHO. It was king after 1945,because we were the most stable country after the war, we did.not need.to rebuild like many other countries. I PERSONALLY feel that CEP is most relevant since electricity can clean water as well. Again this is my personal preference, I can't stress this enough. There are not more projects on the grid, I would assume, since there's no money in it for companies (patents wise). Globalization is what has caused much of the current issues we have today, again IMHO.

The more projects the better. Keep em coming.

Aren't HIV, Malaria, Dengue fever, yellow fever, Leishmaniasis, Cancer and Clean Energy major issues that need to be tackled? While I prefer projects like these that target an issue rather than behavioural ones like Malaria Control.net and this new upcoming project, I still think it is as important as any other.
By launching new projects WCG is also gathering new computational support for the existing ones by making the average joe aware of such existence. With the launch of this new projecct, people will join WCG and subsequently C4CW.

Re: "Computing for sustainable water" vs CFCW ?

Geokamayoc , nobody can engage in any form of critical assessment of a target matter unless one is free, even if only for a moment, from any kind of attachment to the said target matter. Your avid attachment to anything C4CW will not allow the 'thinking you' to see the answers to your questions.

Different people = Different problems. We are merely volunteers trying to help all.

Re: "Computing for sustainable water" vs CFCW ?

I am a pragmatic..... launching new projects is, of course, very nice, .... but ar eyou sure projects will be finished ????

WCG is like a supercomputer !!!! LIMITED

As a scientist, I have my own choices about projects. With only a small computer, I can't run more than one to be effective !!!! I know some traditional treatments are very effective to help cure cancers . I AM A TWO TIMES CANCER SURVIVOR because of them, ... I know there is also many traditional treatments to prevent tropical diseases.

As an emergency manager, I know intelligence and common sense are far more important than computation. but, unfortunatly, we can't learn intelligence and common sense ....

Every projects is of course useful, We have all our heart projects. But, from my part, it's not a pragmatic management to launch too many projects.

Re: "Computing for sustainable water" vs CFCW ?

A good example to show We must avoid to trust TOO MUCH Science is GLOBAL WARMING !!!!

Each university in the world have researchers and money to show the human being is responsible for the global warming !!!! THe human being can destroy his envrionement and other s human being, I AGREE , , but THis thesis of Anthropic global warming, forget two things ; THE ASTRONOMIC SIDE and our position which change regularly near the SUN and THE SYSTEM EARTH. The earth is a system, like in all systems, if we introduce something excessive, the system will find answers ITSELF !!!! and it's dangerous .....

But any scholarly work which defend a global warming with multiple origins will be considered as ***** !!!!!! why ..... because scholars are often like communists !!!!!

So, if every project on the WCG have an interest !!! i consider i must defend the best one scientifically
