BOINC

Posted by xkey Friday February 15 2008 at 1:41PM

 

Do you put your pc to use when you're not actively playing your games? ya should if u have it on sucking juice - do something useful with it

BOINC has a lot of projects;  if you can find a new huge mersenne prime  you could get a piece of a million dollars running gimp [the prime finding prog not the free art prog]

 

I guess I probably wont get both spellborn and war - whichever one makes it to market first - i just dont have enough time to waste on both; heck i really shouldnt even waste time on them or any game - but i like to spend a few hours every month on GW - and i liked what they did to lotro (havent played in over a week though - too busy way way too busy)

later,

    • While I admire the ambition of the BOINC projects and have even run the programs in the past (as far back as when the only big-name project was SETI), the increasing cost of energy and awareness of my own carbon footprint has led me to question the value of the program.

      As an environmental scientist, I have a really hard time choosing between research and conservation. I guess I can't really go wrong as long as I have the option of doing either. Just food for thought.
