boinc is basically a library to easy application development, so although the basic boinc app does not compute one month long work units, i should be able to make it do what we want. then we get the statistics and GUI for free, so it makes sense. and since boinc is designed so that you alone run the server that distributes data, not some central server operated by berkeley.edu, privacy should be possible too. ________________________________________________________________ Neu: WEB.DE Doppel-FLAT mit Internet-Flatrate + Telefon-Flatrate für nur 19,99 Euro/mtl.!* http://produkte.web.de/go/02/ _______________________________________________ A51 mailing list [email protected] http://lists.lists.reflextor.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/a51
