Maybe we used it incorrectly but for testing SW on target it's the worst thing I have ever experienced. The 'human readable' keywords are a hidden evil no one should meet. And the sheer amount of them, matched with random Set

I think SOJs became currency and the duping problem made them worthless and moved the currency to high runes? But what they did with the anni quest to get rid of the rest of the SOJs was clever Oh man, thanks for the nostalgia trip!

I don't think that's true, the filament evaporates (sublimes?, sublimates?) from the heat and eventually it is too thin to support itself and breaks. That's how I always understood the main failure mode of incadescent bulbs a

The other very important part of BOINC and the like is that they offer no monetary gains for your contribution. That's how you eliminate 99,9% of malicious actors and the rest can be eliminated the way you described It won't work

That's not what kenshoen meant. For example for the Mandelbrot set we have a function f(z) = z^2 + c for complex z,c and each pixel in the image represents c_x,c_y in c = c_x + i*c_y and then you iterate f(0), f(f(0))... On the other h
