The suspense is getting terrible

Got a year or two to go I'm sure.

Very slow suspense.

But you don't look any worse than you did before.

I hope that's a compliment... as my revenge will be sweet if it isn't. ;-)

Does that mean you'll send me some candy?

Can you tell me how to set up a spambot so I won't have to keep posting?

I think that's already been tried on another thread.

I'm betting on winning some of your fortune...Just a million or two out of your billions would be fine.

Jord is fabulously wealthy...He just acts like a poor man...Even now he is relaxing on a beach in the south of France.

Post:
I think a series of "That's Why I BOINC" videos released to various video outlets like YouTube could be helpful...Real people simply telling viewers why they joined...and why they stay involved in BOINC projects.

Post:
If 98% of Internet users do not care...then you have to aim hard for the 2% that will care...It's a sifting process...Of those who try it...some will like it...some will even love it...You have message boards to build a community feeling...and that can act like glue to keep some crunching who might otherwise feel disconnected...Others may be satisfied and stay without ever using the message boards...If the projects do important work...and have a low downtime level...there will hopefully be enough people who continue what they started to replace the crunching power of those who leave...With the must faster crunching machines we have now it takes far fewer computers to do much more work...

I think of BOINC as a planetary brain that is always busy analyzing data.
I like the idea that people all over the world can help save this world and help discover new ones...That's why i BOINC.

BOINC needs a slogan to go with it's graphic logo...Something that gives a hint of the good that people can do when they participate in BOINC projects...

Some samples:

Save the World...Help unlock the secrets of the universe...

Real science...at home on your computer

BOINC...The world working together.

The power of your computer...Unleashed
