Thankyou Crystal Pellet & alver for publicly stating that, as soon as you've reached your goals, you'll pull out and give those (like me), who thought there'd be plenty of time left, an attempt at reaching their goals.

Boy, this is going to be cutting it fine...

Let's hope (for my own, personal reasons), the project scientists do find that there's a need to crunch some more WU's...

6 years is attainable and 7 years is possible, but it doesn't look good to get to 8 in this round.

Well, it looks like I will maybe possibly somehow get emerald. I was hoping that I could go all blue on all my projects, but there is no way.
:). Maybe it will be the only green island in a sea of blue.

Can you imagine if the techs would have set the project weight to "normal" after the 4 fold speed up, as in an equal share of CPU years? http://bit.ly/WCGCPY (top curve)... it'd be done. Still, who knows... Viktors phrased it interestingly "... and will let the researchers progress to the next stages of their research". We'll see what the techs do, come the last of the last work-units... complete or intermittent [but I'd not bet on it for badge targets, at all] ;D

Wow, that was fast for this project. I wish all projects could have improvements to their applications that have made such a quick finish possible for this project. I'm at 8 years of runtime now, aiming for 10 years before the queue runs dry...
