1) Message boards : climateprediction.net Science : Uninstalled because its flawed... (Message 22224) Posted 20 Apr 2006 by old_user183466 Post: Regrettably, I uninstalled BOINC/climateprediction because it is not well set up. It doesn\'t seem to handle gracefully the situation of having a separate admin and user account and it doesn\'t allow me to choose where it will save its data (a big no-no for anyone who wants to regularly image their primary partition and keep data on a separate partition). I\'m a well-informed computer user so I was very disappointed at how BOINC seems to function vis-a-vis the user. It feels like you sign over usage rights to your PC and lose a lot of control. The saddest part is that only in the FAQ/uninstall item do you tell people not to download it to try it out/have a look. That should be on the download page!!! I widh the project all the best but I can\'t afford to have a program like BOINC running on a PC that is mission-critical to my work.
