it's been bad for a half-decade... :(

at this rate they'll obsolete themselves even if they fix it.

Mathematics... meh. While finding the biggest kind-of-prime is important, it's not as important as medical and natural sciences imo...

It feels like there's not a lot of growth - despite more and more people around the world having access to spare computing power. And more and more of this spare computer power.

With World Community Grid ... having difficulties ... there's not been a lot of new high-traffic research in medical field outside existing projects.

I've been crunching for nearly 13 years but I can't help but feel the future is cloudy.

Thank you

Android:

I have a notice from January. I read it. I want it deleted.

Years ago i figured out how to do it once, with much difficulty, but I didn't remember how I did it and i can't find it again.

I pushed all the buttons.

how do I delete a notice that I have read so the 'notices' button goes back to not showing any?

WCG got dry for me too... maybe we fixed all the problems so there's no more work needed? :)

there's a good chance these technical issues will result in loss of data. WUs completed months or years ago could be lost - and i bet they'll never tell us.

I thought about a fun game: every day we're down, I lower WCG's priority by 1%. I will do likewise with the other projects I contribute to.

LET THE GAMES BEGIN!!

i wonder if a hospital's network goes down, if it takes 8 days and counting to fix it...

I feel i have one more FUBAR'd unfortunate incident in me before it's time to walk... mostly because some of my machines are quite old and can't really do much of the more intensive work of other projects.

i wish there was a really good alternative for medical and overall people-benefiting research.
