Is anybody here currently running UD software on their machines?

CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.
United Devices software?
- Thread starter Zipporah
- Start date
United Devices is a software application which links a computer to a grid, and operates ins the background (or as a screensaver) analysing chunks of data - the best-known UD operation is probably SETI, but it is also used for such projects as cancer research or defence against biochemical warfare.
My PC is currently linked to a cancer research project; having only read supportive literature (ie written by organisations apt to benefit) I don't really know if there are any pitfalls to linking to such a grid. I was just looking to see if anyone here could give some more feedback (good and bad).

Well, if you're talking SETI@Home....I'm running that.
When I run it all the time (not just in screensaver mode) it tends to slow my computer down a bit and I usually have to reboot my PC once a night because it just gets sooooo slow. (I havea Pentium 3 at work.)
But it doesn't do that on my parent's Pentium 4 at home where I can run it all the time without a problem.
