You BOTH better watch out!
At my current rate, I should fly by BOTH of you, some time in, say, 2317 or so... Or maybe not...  _________________

My son won't let me borg his because it makes his games run slower...or so he reckons.
I have Folding on the computer that my daughter is using but she keeps turning it off.
I'm looking forward to getting the 'spare' up and running again, although I think my daughter is going to take that one back, and my son is going to use the older one as a fiddle-around with, pull-apart, put-back-together one. Kids! The older they are, the more expensive they get.
Anyway, may the best man win.  _________________ My brain hurts.

Install it on your son's comp and then on both
Go to Advanced,
Preferences,
Processor Usage,
Un-check "While computer is in use"
The default position is "only after computer has been Idle for 3:00 minutes"
There is no reason for them to complain then.
If they ain't on it but it's still using your power, then It's yours  _________________ a.k.a. Licentious of Borg.........Resistance Really is Futile.......

I wish I could figure out a way to my office. 60 + pc's here. It would be a nice addition to my #'s.
Even the Good Dr Vornoff would have to worry. _________________ Fetch me the Holy Hand Grenade!

Give it a shot, go to your sys admin and plead your case. "It helps in the search for cancer" etc... If they leave them on all night then you are probably good. Tell them you will only run Boinc between the hours of x & y, and when they have been idle for x # of min....
Mabey if you are real lucky you can put them on MJ12 as well. Max their T1 _________________ a.k.a. Licentious of Borg.........Resistance Really is Futile.......

You don't know our sys admin. I am lucky I am able to shrub on my pc, forget the other machines. Most of them are a bunch of nuckle draggers that couldn't find there nose if they didn't already have a knuckle or 3 buried up there already.
They are a group that looks to lay blame of everything on everyone else (including the lack of backups - one of their prime responsibilities. I have personally pulled their posteriors out of the fire on that a few times).
Rule 1 here is to not draw attention to yourself. Rule 2 is to read rule 1 again.
We don't have a T1 line here. We have a T3. It is not configured correctly.
Couple that with the fact we are a 24x7 operation (data to and from other agencies and the occassional off site backup). There is really not too much down time here. _________________ Fetch me the Holy Hand Grenade!
