42) Questions and Answers : Windows : \'Unrecoverable Error\' at 80%. (Message 28696) Posted 14 May 2007 by old_user177151 Post: Ice, please think about the physics and science of it. My question was NOT about the science of it. It is about teams bragging that they have completed more models than other teams, when the definition of a complete model is whatever you want it to be.
43) Questions and Answers : Windows : \'Unrecoverable Error\' at 80%. (Message 28679) Posted 14 May 2007 by old_user177151 Post: I think Peter\'s right - I guess that when Carl said he was going to include 2050+ models in the front page figures, he was probably in a PR mood. Ice! I challenge you (in the nicest possible way) to find a single post by a mod where any of us gave the impression that a 2050+ crashed model could just be abandoned because it had reached its target. I think you may be missing the point here by looking at this through your CPDN/PR angle. This is like a Blair/Bush spin. It doesn\'t matter what you think you said and how well you think you can challenge anyone on what you actually said. The fact is that you have given an impression that models at 2050+ are complete. I expect some are confused about this. The fact is that if someone decides to start up a \"models complete\" competition in BBC or CPDN, given the spin in place, anyone can stop crunching at 2050 and quicken their model completion by 30 years. No matter what you said or think you said. Since you and the moderators have said much on this subject, in so many \"official\" and individual statements of encouragement which clearly indicate that a model is complete at 2050+, including the PR on the CPDN front page, I think you should make a definition of what is a \"complete model\" clear to both BBC and CPDN and reconcile this with Carl\'s PR on the CPDN web front page. If Carl thinks a model is complete at 2050+, why do we need to carry on to 2080? It\'s a rhetorical question, but illustrates the lunacy of the situation and why Blair/Bush type spin should never be welcomed anywhere.

(Message 28672) Posted 13 May 2007 by old_user177151 Post: Back in January I said in the news thread that Carl had started counting 2050+ as \'finished\' for the purposes of quoting completed models on the cpdn website front page. Here\'s the news item: http://www.climateprediction.net/board/viewtopic.php?t=5927&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=0 As far as I\'m aware, all the teams that are counting completed models have only ever counted 2080 as a goal. Could I respectfully suggest that the best idea is probably to keep it that way. Otherwise you could all spend weeks working out which extra models count and which don\'t. The BBC teams would probably also need to agree, which would complicate matters. I don\'t think it matters one bit that the cpdn front page uses a different criterion. The teams all have a good easy-to-understand system and it\'s been the same from the start. I\'d stick to it. It\'s easy for you to say that mo.v. But you, the moderators, have been telling people that, despite their models crashing at 2050+ they can consider their models are complete, thank you very much, please start another one in CPDN. I think perhaps it is you that should say that, despite the fact that you have indicated a 2050+ model is complete, it is not, fact, complete for any criteria apart from what is being displayed in the CPDN front page. Which has got nothing to do with whether a model is complete or not (ie, 2080, zips uploaded, received, update acknowledged, credits allocated, goal by ref and linesman confirmed.)

Much Appreciated.
48) Message boards : Cafe CPDN : BUG - BOINC User Group (Message 28374) Posted 2 May 2007 by old_user177151 Post: Anton Is this tool bar compatible with AOL? Not a problem with me as I use both Microsoft and AOL, but some don\'t. I will download the tool bar to MS7 and use it there. Hi Rory, The BUG toolbar requires Microsoft Windows 2000/XP and Microsoft Explorer 5.0+ (or Firefox 1.0.1+). You can use the toolbar with AOL installed. However the E-mail notifier does not seen to cater for AOL - it includes Hotmail, Yahoo, Gmail and POP3. You can, however, add further button for MSN Messenger, Outlook Express and others. I hope this helps. It installs very quickly if you want to try it, and has an unistaller if you decide it\'s not for you. It is free for everyone to use. It has no spyware or viruses, does not open pop-ups or hijack your searches, and no personal information is required.

The best thing is to suspend network activity through the Activity menu for a day or two to give Milo time to move data round and find space for more.\"
52) Message boards : Cafe CPDN : St. George\'s Day (Message 28076) Posted 23 Apr 2007 by old_user177151 Post: Ice, Happy St Georges Day. Yes it is a shame that the extreme left have managed to demean our flag to such an extent. As for the Dragon I always assumed that if St George killed anything it would have been a large Nile crocodile, but the defeat of the Welsh Dragon is probable a better explanation. pb Thanks pb! And yes the probabilities are intriguing, which is why you must join Team England to be intrigued even more! Happy St. George\'s Day to you, and may we always admire a knight who can joust from a saddle :)

54) Message boards : Cafe CPDN : St. George\'s Day (Message 28063) Posted 22 Apr 2007 by old_user177151 Post: Ice. No mention of a Dragon in facts. I have just purchased a Cross of St George air freshener which I will proudly display Monday, with only the slight reservation that people will label me a right wing thug for doing so. pb It\'s sad that anyone would be worried about flying an England flag for fear of being accused of being right wing thug. It\'s the sign of the times; a bad sign. As for the dragon - it never was a fact. It was probably the English symbolizing their defeat over the Welsh dragon I expect - but as you can see, the dragon is still there on the flag of Wales. But then again it was used to symbolize the Christian defeat over evil. But them so much about St. George is myth. He\'s still the patron saint of England!
55) Message boards : Cafe CPDN : St. George\'s Day (Message 28047) Posted 22 Apr 2007 by old_user177151 Post: St. Georges\'s flag Here is some information about St. George. Saint George is the patron saint of England. He\'s popularly identified with England and English ideals of honour, bravery and gallantry - but actually he wasn\'t English at all. Very little, if anything, is known about the real Saint George. Pope Gelasius said that George is one of the saints \"whose names are rightly reverenced among us, but whose actions are known only to God.\" Facts in brief Everything about Saint George is dubious, so the information below should be taken as mythical rather than real. Born in Turkey (in Cappadocia) Lived in 3rd century AD His parents were Christian Later lived in Palestine Became a Roman soldier Protested against Rome\'s persecution of Christians Imprisoned and tortured, but stayed true to his faith Beheaded at Lydda in Palestine 23rd April was named as Saint George\'s day in 1222 Patron saint He is patron saint not only of England but also of Aragon, Catalonia, Georgia, Lithuania, Palestine, Portugal, Germany and Greece; and of Moscow, Istanbul, Genoa and Venice (second to Saint Mark). He\'s also patron saint of soldiers, archers, cavalry and chivalry, farmers and field workers, riders and saddlers, and he helps those suffering from leprosy, plague and syphilis. In recent years he has been adopted as patron saint of Scouts.

57) Message boards : Cafe CPDN : Democratic Party Team (Message 27998) Posted 19 Apr 2007 by old_user177151 Post: A lot of members belong to national teams which provide forums and/or websites in their own language, so that\'s a good thing. In fact, there are hundreds of unofficial boinc-related websites and forums for teams. A couple of our mods help provide support on French and Czech forums. I think anybody running cpdn models is committed to the project, simply because of the size of the workunits and the effort involved in backing them up and so on. I think Team England are committed to providing over 12 million BOINC credits so far. Sorry Team Democratic Party, seemed to go off a bit of a tangent here - but good luck to your team :)
58) Message boards : Cafe CPDN : Democratic Party Team (Message 27991) Posted 19 Apr 2007 by old_user177151 Post: It\'s interesting for me to note that I first joined Team England over a year ago in BBC CPDN, but then left for the prime reason that I didn\'t think people should band together for nationalistic reasons. However, I now think that censorship by admin/moderators or by each other as to what teams are appropriate is, in itself, inappropriate. If people want to join Team England, let them! (Not trying to criticize you in any way here Andy, just using what you said to make a point) Andy said \"I see you have set up this team in a number of Boinc projects. It is now clear to me that you have no real commitment to this project.\" Well, I have set up a Team England in almost all projects, the rest by other Team England members. So my commitment to this project must be pretty low, despite my current RAC of around 6000 in the various CPDN projects (see below). It\'s possible that the vast numbers of crunchers have no real commitment to the projects they crunch in. They don\'t really understand them, never ask for proof that their completed models are used in any way (SETI has years worth of all crunching sitting idly on a shelf I am told). Let\'s be clear - the vast numbers don\'t post anything in any forum, therefore, prima facie, they show no interest. Most crunchers attach to a projects and seem to forget that it\'s running on their computers, the vast numbers never coming to any of these forums. And what are these forums for and who is trying to tell who what should or should not be said, apart from the rules? If you don\'t like a team, ignore it. If you don\'t like what somebody says, ignore them.
