1) Message boards : Number crunching : anz upload failures (Message 52688) Posted 8 Oct 2015 by Dave Worrall Post: So do I.
2) Message boards : Number crunching : ANOTHER UPLOAD PROBLEM (Message 50221) Posted 17 Sep 2014 by Dave Worrall Post: A couple of mine have cleared too but one of them is now appearing twice in the Latest Trickles list here: http://climateapps2.oerc.ox.ac.uk/cpdnboinc/result.php?resultid=16960118 Not a problem to me but may be of interest.
3) Questions and Answers : Windows : permanent HTTP error (Message 49673) Posted 31 Jul 2014 by Dave Worrall Post: I'll do that and let you know in about 3 weeks.
4) Questions and Answers : Windows : permanent HTTP error (Message 49671) Posted 31 Jul 2014 by Dave Worrall Post: Yes, good call geophi. Thought I'd delete a load of old stuff thinking it was no further use. Are you saying CPDN still needs these files and I should restore them?
5) Questions and Answers : Windows : permanent HTTP error (Message 49662) Posted 30 Jul 2014 by Dave Worrall Post: Thanks Iain, there were "permanent http errors" for CPDN over the last couple of days but I don't know if they were for FAMOUS models.

7) Message boards : Number crunching : Compute Errors on Pacific North West v7.22 Tasks (Message 49592) Posted 18 Jul 2014 by Dave Worrall Post: Yeah, down with slop crap.
8) Message boards : Number crunching : No Tasks Available (Message 49301) Posted 4 Jun 2014 by Dave Worrall Post: Well I'd accept that argument if it were true but it depends on this premise "They use significantly more energy when running flat out which they do when crunching". Here are some measurements from University of Pennsylvania which make that premise questionable. They do measurements when running SETI or Folding: https://secure.www.upenn.edu/computing/resources/category/hardware/article/computer-power-usage
9) Message boards : Number crunching : No Tasks Available (Message 49292) Posted 3 Jun 2014 by Dave Worrall Post: Eirik, if BOINC uses only spare capacity of machines already in use, that would be 0 tenths of a big nuke plant, 0 big diesel locomotives, 0 supertankers. (I'm not sure how units of locomotives and supertankers can be used to measure rate of electricity use, mind). Using your maths, if there are 10 other BOINC like projects in the world all running machines doing nothing but BOINC, there would be one unnecessary nuclear power station and all the unreconciled waste that brings. Please people, do worry about leaving your machine on just to run BOINC, it poisons the atmosphere. One ten-thousandth x 7 billion = lots. Niall, for those of Eirik's persuasion, please invent something which lets machines run only when the wind's blowing.

16) Questions and Answers : Windows : Upgrading BOINC Core Client (Message 18231) Posted 15 Dec 2005 by Dave Worrall Post: Am running BOINC version 4.13 and have managed to complete a climateprediction project after 11 months. It\'s status is now \"ready to report\". Is now a good time to upgrade my core client? Is that project done and dusted? I\'d hate all that time to be wasted.
