Oh well,
seeing as we'll be BOINCED before too much longer, 
I guess this will soon be moot.

BOINCED? Say what?

You know, BOINC? BOINCED?
I wonder if you verbize BOINC you need to add a K 
or change the C to a K....
BOINCKED? BOINKED? ;o) "BOINSD" just doesn't sound right...
Anyhow, BOINC (Berkeley Open Infrastructure for Network Computing)
as in http://boinc.ssl.berkeley.edu/

Yes, Robi is absolutely correct in my verbalizing the noun BOINC.
While my posting is occasionally sporadic, reply to this thread if you would
like any additional links/info on BOINC & the SETI II transition. I,
or perhaps someone else, will be happy to respond, though my knowledge is
somewhat limited, in relation to some of the more 'aware' posters.

I went to that website. It appeared that they were going to 
offer an open-structured SETI-like model for other types
of problem processsing. I could not immediately see how
that was going to affect the ongoing SETI@HOME project, 
unless the implication is that such a project will take 
processing power away from SETI? They seem to already
have more processing power than they can use anyway. 
Did I miss something?
