Gatchaman your post has attracted only one supporter - the principal troll of the forum (who is missing from his village).
That should perhaps indicate to you that your contention is not generally considered to be valid. Perhaps you should crunch somewhere where you do trust the project and its personnel. |

Gatchaman, I would like to make some observations on your comments...
----------------------------------------How long has WCG been going? What has it got to show, for all its efforts, to the world? You're not the first cruncher to ask this question. There have been multiple papers, drug candidates, etc that have been published and produced. Maybe looking in the News section will show some more data on the proof you would like to know about. The Clean Energy Project is different since it puts the raw crunched data out for anybody to use, but I do seem to remember some feedback that something interesting was found (again in the news section).You know what's insulting? Huh, I thought that jhindo had explained that the failing WUs were as valid to the researchers, therefore it is not wasted time or effort. You do seem quite upset with the WCG project and your footer pretty states your feeling. Do you think that statement is going to attract new crunchers? If you have questions or suggestions, I would recommend posting them in a less passionate way and avoiding negative responses. it's just a suggestion, hope you keep crunching.Insulting is dumping error prone work units onto the grid causing a loss of machine trust status and validation loops. Insulting is the grid crunching the same work units over, and over, and over......... Insulting is the silence of the lab with respect to the issue. Insulting is not taking 30 seconds to type a message to the crunchers saying they are aware of the issue and will explain what's going on in relation to the Ge WU. Insulting is taking a resource such the grids computing power for granted. Insulting is generating an unnecessary workload to crunch when that resource could be used to crunch other projects. Insulting is just keeping quiet when there is something clearly wrong going on. Insulting is not having an agreement or safeguards in place to stop something like this from happening in the first place. CJSL Crunching for a brighter future... |
