Here is an article about . . . the nucleolus in the cell nucleus that produces the ribosomes that are the protein factories in the cell. Plus it discusses the organization of the chromosomes and ways of expressing or inhibiting genes on a chromosome. It starts out above my level and eventually loses me in a daze - - but it has a lot of basic information that I did not know or only knew partially.

So here it is:

PT, by coincidence was reading that one of the security philosophies is, to have all communications be initiated by the client to a known address. No unsolicited incoming messages are wanted. That makes the system substantially weaker.

Querying mid way the 7 day period and send it to another machine, if started or not, would lead to unwanted duplication of crunching effort in a number of scenarios. I certainly would switch off WCG if after 3.5 days an email comes in to remind me when BOINC should be managing it in a 'set-and-forget'. With a multi project set up, the client might be ready to start it on day five. 7 days is 7 days.

The 1 week time limit is actually 7x24 hours CPU time of processing the WU. If started on day 6 and than crunch for 4 days, it could still come back before copy 4 returns send out at 8:01:01 after the first set of 3. The WU's are programmed to self terminate as stated after 148 hours of CPU time. The UD agent WU's do that after 3 calendar weeks wallclock accumulation or 296 CPU hours.

Statistically > 90 percent returns within 4 days from sending out. Relatively few do not return within 7 days and that on the 200,000+ we do a day at present. It would still be quite a few KISSed emails. They could irritate to no end, particular as i can see that part time crunchers (very probably not interested in the points either) would get more than their fair share of these messages.

Just a 2 cent opinion :D
(if anything included u already knew, my fault :>)

Hey Ya
Cheers Lawrence Hardin and Sekerob. I'm an Aircraft Mechanic, out of work albeit, but the mechanical analogies are great. And my education, and thirst for more knowledge, has only been enhanced by participation in this project. So much so, that I'm going to finish my last year, finally, of college, at age 50!!!
Please also, continue to send stuff out here that is so far over my head, I am forced by curiosity to do my own research. It gets me away from being lazy,and if we are challenged, we will overcome the obstacles!!

Hi 7cures! Praise God! That is some awesome news about you graduating this year!!! Way to go!

Hugs!!
