Something I learned the other day; the settings you select in the BOINC 
program will over-ride the settings you select on the web interface.

Thanks.
I was sort of noticing that was the case. Now that I understand that, I can horde enough work that I
don't have to get all freaked out when they're broken for a day or two. I had been adjusting the
setting on the website, to no avail. Boinc comes with a default value of 0.2 days, which is not
enough to bridge the outages on my 2.5ghz dual-core.
