I support any
new venture but this is ridiculous.  Didn't they have a trial period before
telling everyone to switch to BOINC?

What period do you think they are in *now*?

Something that comes before "trial period".

Must be a nice planet you live on.

It is a nice planet.  Won't you join us?

No.  Because on my planet they are in a trial period, having not told
everyone to switch to BOINC, and are not on drugs.

Perhaps SETI will find you then.  FWIW, I am on planet earth.

With a "trial period" I expect things to mostly work.  The past two
months have had things sometimes working but often not.  A rough guess
is about 50% working.  This is still development and debugging period
in my opinion.  Once it starts to work 90% it is time to call it
trial.

Your opinion is a valid one to you!
But I have a question....when you scale a working project up and it
fails due to hardware problems, what do you call it then?
Seti under Boinc is not failing due to programming problems, it is
failing due to hardware issues. If the project is NEVER scaled up how
can anyone know that there will be problems? WE users were not advised
to switch, we advised the program was open for public business! A HUGE
difference! We were told that as soon as it was working the way they
wanted Classic would close down. No time frames were mentioned. Some
were definately "assumed" but none mentioned! And no "SOON" is NOT a
time frame!
