> Sorry, but I am new here. What are these teams for??? [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED] are projects designed to distribute calculus over millions of computers around the world. For the scientist analyzing a star map, this is as if he was owning a computer thousands of times more powerfull than the most powerfull workstation available nowadays. All these projects use a client, called boinc, which schedules the power of your computer when it is idle (and also when it is not, but you only use one or two percents of it, as you usually do except if you are a hardcore gamer). See some details at http://boinc.berkeley.edu/ The teams are just groups of users, it permits more statistics to encourage people to participate, there is no "winning prize" for the first outer encounter or discovery (there are other projects, like the one looking for highest primes, who "share" the prizes offered, like the billion $ offered for the first million digits (?) prime number...). It also permits some advertising for the LFS project, which is all good (and all free) for LFS ;-) \bye -- Nicolas FRANCOIS http://nicolas.francois.free.fr We are the Micro$oft. Resistance is futile.
