Go humans!!

the electric penguin must have low batteries as he has not come here in a long time.

where is the sleepy tiger?

the animals must have surrendered to the humans finally.

maybe on vacation



could be, but the humans are winning again.

Go Humans!

I have had one as well. As Mod.Sense says, this is nothing to worry about.

Hi gerlik. In BOINC Manager 5.10, you can click on 'Advanced', 'Preferences' and that will bring up a window that allows you to change the preferences for just the computer you are currently on. As far as I understand it, this overrides your on-line preference settings, even if you subsequently change them.

You can click 'Clear' in this window to reset to your web-based preferences. If you ever opened this window and clicked Apply or OK, this could be what is causing the problem.

Hope that helps

I'm back after a few very busy days. How is life over here? Busy by the looks of it...
Cold weather? We have today springtime weather.... very warm and a little bit windy today....
Actually, some hot chocolate with a touch of peppermint schnapps would do a body good with this cold and windy weather...

Good afternoon, Penguin... We have missed you...
Beer and chocolate do not match for me... I prefer red wine and chocolate!
Mornin' Tiger!!! Missed ya guys tha past two days!!! Lets have some beer and chocolate!!!

The animals will keep the top position for the next time........
Thank you Penguin..... how are you today?
Animals back on top of beer & chocolate

hes out carousing with the other female tuxedos of his clan
And I like same deep fried belgian meat!!
Penguin, can you you win this contest for the animals?
have some deep fried kreel penguin
Penguin returns!

And one of the individuals he interviewed with was from the Zurich office. Was that you, Tiger?

he must have found some female tuxedos to hang out with
I call our lovely friend, the Penguin....
I need him because of helping the animals to win this contest.....
Penguin: where are you? I need your help!!!!
ok maybe not mcdonalds fries, but mega corporation fries and no you don't win I win. Still waiting on stwato and elektra to join this frey. wheres that nutty penguin in all this?
Who is saying that I like mcdonalds fries?
But in the meantime I am winning the contest...
Just as healthy as your mcdonalds fries, but being they are thicker they don't absorb as much oil as the thin ones. Plus you support your local merchant rather than big fat brother of the golden arches. It's cheaper as well, but yes the variety isn't as good. But its good in a pinch, when Mcdonalds is 20 mins away.
O.K. You call it plain fries... but it is just a potato with a lot of oil.... not very healthy... And I win!!
Get it right boys, it isnt French fries...it is just plain fries.
Only the Americans call it French fries, though for a time the freedom fries thing was kind of interesting.
But yes, there is a fries shop on just about every corner in each city.
Where I live I have one 2 streets away. Another about 5 mins drive from here, another one on the market square and another one within walking distance of that place. Another one about 3 mins away by car from the last one I mentioned.
Over in the small town about 3 mins from the second shop I mentioned is another fries shop. I could go on.

French fries? I can not believe this........
Belgians are the undisputed world champions of making French fries - is there anything else to tell about them? ;-)
Have you ever heard, that a belgians people are winning? Never ever in this time now...
tiger and penguin steak and fillet are so good to eat, thats why I win
Well, if you consider that Homo sapiens to be a type of animal, then aren't we all winners?

Belgians can not win........
Only animals can win........ I pray for me and Penguin......
We are the real winner! We are the champions.....
And I will back our pyramid!!!!!!!! Let us build a new one by everyone
not for long you don't and we were happy with our growing pyramids - I win

@ Stwato

I'm also at the University of Durham so perhaps we should try and sort some advertising throughout the uni as a whole. As an added bonus i happen to be the new Website admin for St. Mary's so i may be able to get some info up on there when i'm granted the access required. I also know the Mary's publicity and sponsorship chair so could perhaps look at getting an article published at least around college


That's cool, I'm at Mary's too (though I'm a liver-out at the moment). If you want to send me a proper e-mail, searching the University directory for Baker will find me (I'm the SJ at Mary's). I was thinking 'Palatinate' was the way to go (our University newspaper) but I don't know anything about advertising in it.

I thought Penguin's preferred snow to dirt?
C'mon, the more dirt, the more fun!

in fake tuxedos if i ever saw one, for the short and fat guys i guess
this must be you guys going out, a bit of a dirty lot you are

AND we're always dressed for a party!

enough penguins, tiger man has a old air freight company named after him which became fedex. plus he had old flying fighter planes that were very famous.

on the other hand...penguin here is also involved in computers trying to counter gatesy man's dominance on the world.


Where they also teach hockey, aka the National Hockey League's Pittsburgh Penguins...

In a zoo school?
Pittsburgh, of course!

Where did a penguin learn to write?


We can write very well, thank you. We have our own publishing company. You have heard of Penguin Publishing, no?

Or in other words: How can a penguin write?

Yes! And a tux-n-tails event for Friday evening!

Top 10 Reasons to Adopt a Penguin

A man drives to a gas station and has his tank filled up. While doing this
the clerk spots two penguins sitting on the back seat of the car. He asks
the driver, "What's up with the penguins in the back seat?"
The man in the car says, "I found them. I asked myself what to do with them but, I haven't a clue."
The clerk ponders a bit then says, "You should take them to the zoo."
"Yeah, that's a good idea," says the man in the car and drives away.
The next day the man with the car is back at the same gas station. The clerk sees the penguins are still in the back seat of the car. "Hey, they're still here! I thought you were going to take them to the zoo!" "Oh, I did," says the driver, "and we had a great time. Today I'm taking them to the beach."

Way cool! The largest Penguin I have is over 1 meter tall!

penguinwarehouse.com

>Woman - Don't use the word "fat" when talking to me.
>Penguin - We prefer the term "pleasingly plump"...
>Man (hiding his face in shame) - Live long and Boinc!

Meanwhile:
Man - "Fat Penguin!"
>Woman - "WHAT?"
>Man - "I just wanted to say something that would break the ice."

Who the heck are these creatures and what wormhole? this isnt following any twisted story line i know.

The G'Gugvuntt were enemies of the Vl'hurgs; at a conference between the leaders of the two sides the G'Gugvuntt leader
insulted the Vl'hurg leader's mother. At the precise moment that the Vl'hurg leader challenged the G'Gugvuntt to retract the insult
a chance remark uttered by the Belgian was carried across time and space to the table by a freak wormhole. The phrase ("I seem
to be having tremendous difficulty with my beer") is a horrendous insult in the Vl'hurg language, and terrible wars ensued.

The Belgian hires a cargo ship to go to the various resturants and deliver Belgian beer and chocolate for all the humanoid men and women, in the hopes of making them extremely happy be it drunk or overdosed by chocolate.

I would just like to remind everybody that there is still one word in today's society deemed still beyond the pale. The concept it embodies it so revolting, that the publication or broadcast of the word is utterly forbidden in all parts of the galaxy except one, where they don't know what it means. That word is 'Belgium' and it is only ever used by loose tongued people (like Zaphod Beeblebrox) in situations of dire provocation.
the vogon penguin is slowly infected by stray rogue nano bots who change his color from black and white to neon green and white forcing him to reconsider what kind of penguin he is.

as both the Belgian and Marvin head off together to the "re-charging unit"...

I dont use payphones and my phone is sanatised by nanobots every 15 mins - and now i have to go recharge. see you in 10 hrs or something
Unfortunately, the sleeping virus also affected the Golgafrinchans, specifically those who were telephone sanitizers. And the
Belgian and his allies were affected by a plague contracted from a dirty telephone...


the belgian brings in 7 of 9 to deter the droning of that most useless phrase. he also calls in picard/locutus to open up a port for the insertion of the sleeping virus that shuts down the ships drones.
all the while the Belgian hears in the background "Resistance is useless!"...

the belgian pulls out his star trek phaser and sets it on heavy stun and blasts the vogon captian into a nice sleep
were the Belgians thoughts as he started to regain consciousness and began to make out the outline of a shape that vaguely
resembled the Ravenous Bugblatter Beast of Traal...

Sorry my Babel fish forgot how to translate vogon, and a penguin reading vogon means I must have had to many gargleblasters

and shortly thereafter, he appears in The Heart of Gold, drinking a PanGalacticGargleBlaster, whilst reading Vogon poetry to a
Belgian and a Tiger...

Due to immprobablity issues the penguin disapears into space yet again and reappears at a random spot in the universe looking for a space ship to get into.

The answer is ALWAYS 42... and that Penguin wins first place...

Penguin, you know that the answer is 42!
And the Penguin, quoting from Mel Brook's "Blazing Saddles", says "excuse me while I whip this out", and proves that in fact, his is bigger... (ego folks, ego...)


Really? But I am a tiger...... And yes, I have an ego.....
But I am not such a little house-cat...... and I take the first place now
Leave it to a species of cat to try and get to the top. Hehe. Can't complain too much, I'm a bit of a cat-lover myself (got two of them at home) but have this, um, huge ego to prove myself... :)

It's about yay big:

Give or take a few "ego" sizes. @:^)

And you have given the trophy to me...... Thank you!
And then the ringmaster stepped in, disqualified you both and took the trophy for himself!
