What don't you like about Boinc other than that it is "new" and has more
features?

The only reason I stopped running SETI@home was (and still is) the fact that
the name sounds like a euphemism for a sexual act.

Yes, it is a deliberately 'slightly controversial' name to sex things up 
a little. Very good for getting more people interested.

Also very good for getting some people *un*interested, including me.

And what sex act would that be? Here in the US we have "euphemism's
too? But most people could care less what others think. Do you REALLY
care what programemrs cal ltheir programs? If so you could be in for a
rough ride when it comes to computer programs.

Here is a page for you: http://www.effingpot.com/slang.shtml
It should help you understand what the words mean. BTW, you are
thinking of "bonk" NOT Boinc.
Other than that GET YOUR MIND OUT OF THE GUTTER!
