Now there's the right question to ask. I know you already got your answer, but folding@home is way more practical and useful than SETI, which relies on a completely made up formula with no known variables to look for other, intelligent life.
Got a tip for us?

man we are not doing good as a team. we rank number 109 in recent average credit and #127 in total credit.
we need to get busy!
we need to get busy!
bahahah trust me im busy!!!!
1. imac dv 400mhz running at 100% CPU 24/7
2. mbp cd 2.16ghz running at 40% CPU (used to be 80% but got too hot)
3. imac 2.8ghz running at 100% CPU (when dad doesnt stop it lol)
if my pc had a network card it would be doing it aswell lol
but yea, im getting ~1200 average. not too shabby i say lol
that's great that you're doing all that, but we need more people to get busy with us!
I just switched over to the MacRumors team. Just added 1,262,023 credit to the MacRumors Seti bank...
ohhh nice work mate. need all the help we can get

dang, that is nice work. thanks for joining macrumors.
sorry i haven't been doing any work for SETI lately. i've been folding@home instead. it seemed like more people around here were involved in that, but our team isn't doing all that great over there either
i think its gone a bit quiet not many people are doing much. im averaging 500-700 which isnt that much, i could do better.
imac 100% usage 24/7,
pc 50% usage about 10/7
mbp 40% usage 10/7...
what are other people using?
I've got a Mini CD 1.66 running it 24/7, and my EeePC whenever it can, but that's no real help. My work computer runs is whenever I'm there (C2D 1.86).
Hey,
Is anyone else unable to get new work units? I tried downloading BOINC, and I attached to SETI@home, and Einstein@home, and I'm unable to get work from either of them. If you guys aren't having the problem, what do you recommend to try and trouble shot this?
Thanks,
Don

hey man, it will occasionally go down for a few days at a time, i am unsure why it does it. but it will come back on, just give it a few days. i have my computer set to download about 4days worth at a time so it still does work if the link is down.
Thanks! It's just a pain, because I tried last week, and I'm now trying again. I read something on the SETI@home page that said that Macs have been unable to get work units. Guess I'll just have to be patient.
Don
yea its odd how it wont work on macs but on PC's, must be from different servers or something like that.
hopefully it will get back on soon!!!
have a good day (its morning for me haha)

Yeah it is weird, you would think that it is distributed in the same file format. oh well. Thanks for you help, you have a good day to.
Don
And I just added a quad Q6600 last night - that thing TEARS through work units! I'm getting four done every 45 minutes, which is madness.
