I have done a little reading over there in the past and just recently ... I don't know if I got the gist of it all, but once again I see Linux & cheat being uttered.
I have come to a conclusion, you will not like, and that is ... I quit with them.
I use Linux ... I have made no bones about my thoughts on Boinc ... but it works ... I care not for points ... but have gone with the flow of team members to the point of posting a Stats sheet everyday.
All they are doing is giving the whole project a bad name ... sadly, IBM seem oblivious to it all, or, dare I say, don't give a rats arse as long as they are getting some free advertising space.
Excuse me, I have some thinking to do.

Mucks the only person causing a problem is that Dagorath - everyone else is happily crunching away and politely discussing possible changes to the way different OS score.
It would be a pity to let one mentally unstable man drive you away
Flops - its not anything like the Bruce situation, it is just an nutty ordinary member trolling and causing trouble, hopefully WCG will ban him.
...you will last 2hrs 23 mins

That is right Mucks. This is what he wants. He wants chaos and he wants to drive folks away. He is irrational and I think a nutter case.
Floppys he is no Bruce. He needs professional help.

As I have said before and you all agreed? He is a piece of SHYTE the more you kick SHYTE the more it sticks.
Enough rope and he will hang himself. or his quack will oblige.

I'm just ignoring it all personally - we're making a difference which is what counts 
There's conflicts in all walks of life, but I'm sure 99.9% of crunchers are on our side - there's no point in letting a couple of rotten apples spoil the cart

From Silence of the Lambs
Rush: No! I will listen now. After you found a linux PC crunching, you were peeved. You were a Canadian. You went to live with cousins on a sheep and horse ranch in Montana. And...?
Dagorath: [tears begin forming in his eyes] And one morning, I just ran away.
Rush: No "just", Dagorath. What set you off? You started at what time?
Dagorath: Early, still dark.
Rush: Then something woke you, didn't it? Was it a dream? What was it?
Dagorath: I heard a strange noise.
Rush: What was it?
Dagorath: It was – screaming, some kind of screaming, like a crunchers voice.
Rush: What did you do?
Dagorath: I went downstairs, outside. I crept up into the barn. I was so scared to look inside, but I had to.
Rush: And what did you see, Dagorath? What did you see?
Dagorath : PC`s. The PC`s were crunching.
Rush: They were crunching the WU?
Dagorath: And they were getting points.
Rush: And you ran away?
Dagorath: No. First I tried to free them. I-I opened the gate to their On/Off button , but they wouldn't stop. They just stood there, crunching away. They wouldn't stop.
Rush: But you could and you did, didn't you?
Dagorath: Yes. I took one PC, and I ran away as fast as I could.
Rush: Where were you going, Dagorath?
Dagorath: I don't know. I didn't have any food, any water and it was very cold, very cold. I thought, I thought if I could save just one and convert it to get me more points i would rule the crunching world , but - it was so heavy. So heavy. I didn't get more than a few miles when the sheriff's car picked me up. The rancher was so angry he sent me to live at the Lutheran orphanage in Bozeman. I never saw the PC again.
Rush: What became of your PC, Dagorath ?
Clarice: They stopped him crunching for me .
Hannibal: I do wish we could chat longer, but I'm having an old friend for dinner.
you Dagarath

Do I need a TV, or can I get it on DVD?
