21) Message boards : Rosetta@home Science : Genetic algorithms and rosetta@home (Message 19479) Posted 29 Jun 2006 by Stephen Post: I've taken a graduate course on GAs and learned how effective they can be for problems with large search spaces, especially those with lots of local minima or maxima. I even participated in a distributed GA search for optimizing electronic hardware design while it lasted. Has any work been done to look at how GAs can help Rosetta@home's goals? Stephen
22) Questions and Answers : Macintosh : Screen saver won't go away (Message 18679) Posted 15 Jun 2006 by Stephen Post: I was able to use the F11 key to show the desktop and hide the screensaver. Pressing F11 again gave me back the (still stuck) screensaver, but command-q did quit boinc-manager.
23) Questions and Answers : Macintosh : Screen saver won't go away (Message 18561) Posted 13 Jun 2006 by Stephen Post: Moving my mouse over my screensaver doesn't result in the screen saver going away. I get a spinning beach ball and that's it. I'm using a dual 1.8 G5 desktop. Since it's dual, there are two tasks running. It seems as though there are layered screen savers, one for each task. The top one went away, but the bottom one seems stuck. I have been using the screensavers for a few days now, and this is the first time I've seen this. Stephen
