What is this row over US net neutrality? As Alistair Cooke (or someone similar) is no longer around to explain the nature of the problem, I am slightly at a loss as to what the row is about.
Net Neutrality (or lack thereof) is not the greatest threat to Distributed Computing ... at best it does not even make the top 20 reasons why Distributed Computing is under threat (in the US or EU or the Asia-Pacific region). There is at least one screen saver that hints of other problems, but it is under development -- and its contents are volatile to change. http://cbc-am/dsn-at-home.scr Not that it is related, but it is estimated that the Snoden files cost the US Tech Sector about 1200 million USD in Asia this past Quarter and for the whole of 2014 may reach 3800 millions USD in losses. The BOINC system (client or server) is still ‘shackled to the corpse of the x86’ but this is supposedly getting better as time goes on. The whole technology used by BOINC may not be the same in 10 years ... but the global finance system risks could eliminate 1/3 of all BOINC users in 6 months or so it goes. _______________________________________________ boinc_dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.ssl.berkeley.edu/mailman/listinfo/boinc_dev To unsubscribe, visit the above URL and (near bottom of page) enter your email address.
