So why is it that Germans seem to want to show off their non-existant Latin skills ?? - myself included, mea culpa (I hope at least this is right ;-).

So my non-expert vote would be: "Moderor ergo sum".

Are people arguing that the use of BOINC should be limited to only those projects that satisfy their views on how that project's credits are granted? Am I reading here that new projects under BOINC should be limited/restricted or even not allowed on the issue of credits and credits alone?

But I can be wrong in reading all the posts. So can anyone explain to me what is so vital about all projects having similar credits granting structure? I hope there is another reasons other than the artificial construct of statistics.

Well, at least get the Latin right. That should be "Moderato ergo sum." Now write 100 times, "Romanes Eunt Domus" :-)

Does "Moderato" even mean anything close to Moderate, or will those that at least passed their 1st year Latin class be teasing me about not using terms like "tempero" instead?

Actually I think the credit system has improved quite a bit lately, at least in the projects I particiapate in.

So things aren't perfect, but they seem to be improving.....

If you want people to crunch your project, you can expect them to give up money, time, sleep, food, sex and grades for you, but don't take away their RAC.

Good Article, but there is really nothing anybody can do about the shambles the Credit System is in. As long as new projects are allowed to come on-line allowing almost unlimited Credit to the participants then the Credit System is nothing but a farce...IMO

You can go to almost any of the newer alpha projects and a lot of people are getting 100-200 or even more Credits per hour by using the Optimized Clients which do nothing but increase their Credits & inflate their ego's ...

Just a side note... ever thought of asking the people your using in your "stats" for their autorisation to do so ? Even though most people allow "you" to see their computers, that doesn't mean they allow you to post their stats on the fora ....

Strange, I'm in the north of Cologne and we have only lite rain but not really much, the ground still can take it. A few lightnings and thunder too, but not so wild either.

I'm not a real Cologne person (and I prefer Alt over Koelsch) so I hope it doesn't get too bad there.

What have you quoted, Alex?

Would appreciate your feedback ;)
