Could you please elucidate "...In Watson's Wake, IBM World Community Grid Registration Skyrockets 700% ...." Does this mean that in the coming days we will see roughly 7 times the current 97,000 active users? http://sciencesprings.wordpress.com http://facebook.com/sciencesprings |

No, the (daily) increment is supposed to grow that amount, not the absolute count. Gruß, Gundolf |

BOINC got a mention in PCWorld as: 10 (ten) Must-Have Downloads for School: BOINC This screensaver takes idle cycles on your PC and uses them to perform processing for a variety of scientific projects. You'll be able to choose and switch among numerous projects, including efforts to control malaria, search for extraterrestrial life, and help with medical research. http://www.pcworld.com/article/234969/musthave_downloads_for_school.html http://www.pcworld.com/article/234969/musthave_downloads_for_school.html |

Comet Likely Didn't Cause Bizarre 'Wow!' Signal (But Aliens Might Have) An astronomer thinks he's pinpointed the source of a mysterious radio signal from space: a passing comet that nobody knew about. But his colleagues said they're still skeptical of the explanation, noting that comets don't emit radio waves in the right way. |

Saying this isn't officially supported by BOINC. The people behind SCI are from Gridcoin, don't let Vitalii's name on the list have you believe it's then officially BOINC. It isn't. Any problems you have with this competition you have to take up with them, not BOINC. |
