Posted 16 May 2007 by old_user350749 Post: To answer your questions: 1. I leave my laptop running 24/7, because it is relatively fast, and consumes 36W of power, far less than the 145W for the desktop. 2. The electricity that I have is \"Green\", which means that is is generated from renewable sources, mainly biomass here in the Netherlands. Furthermore, I have a PV installation on the roof of my house of 3,2 kWp, which generates most of my electricity. Excess power is fed into the grid and metered separately. 3. Yes, I think this is a contradiction. But in my opinion I have found a way in between, as mentioned above. Also take a look at my profile.... I can also understand the reasons why others leave their computer on, the impact is relatively small (but a poor excuse anyway). astroWX made some good remarks as well. Buy an accurate power meter, make a round in your house and see what can be taken off stand-by mode or not used altogether. For the average household this is enough to run a climate experiment!

Posted 17 Feb 2007 by old_user350749 Post: Well, and I thought this was a quiet place! Lots of replies, that\'s encouraging. In the meantime I found out that the problem is on my side, because I wanted to add a smiley to this post, and the website does not give me the BBC code anymore when I click it. Ah well, I think it is time for a fresh XP install, I have been having enough problems lately. Thanks for the replies though... Kees |

Posted 11 Feb 2007 by old_user350749 Post: Norton has this nice button that allows me to turn off the firewall for five minutes, enough to do the update. The problem is firewall-related though, Norton can not even get through it\'s own firewall to check for updates! But I will sort this out.. |

The problems seems to be on my side, and not ralted to BOINC. I will run a spyware and virus scan and see where that takes me. Thanks so far.... |

Posted 3 Feb 2007 by old_user350749 Post: What I was refering to, is the fact that I have seen some \"optimsed\" BOINC managers around, for instance when crunching for SETI. They seem to give an increase in s/TS. But apart from that, I would like to know if I can change to this new BOINC manager without crashing my model. Kees |
