Stardust@home

I've been dusting off and on since this project started. Just curious as to how much longer this is going to go?

The question I have: I have 144 found power movies, missed 85 for a total of 229. Under your current skill it says, undetermined because you haven't looked at at least 100 power movies. It says I have looked at 68. Sometimes the number goes up and down for no apparent reason. So what's up?

I read one of the ways you guys catch cheaters is by how fast they go through real movies, and take a long time to check out the calibration movies. I have a bad habit of having 3-4 windows going at the same time. E-mail on one, reading an article on another while the movie down-loads. Sometimes it ...

But I clearly see the little half circle you are talking about. And I remember submitting it because it was in focus when the cursor...

I'm sure that everyone has seen them. The white spots that sometimes appear so bright, almost like a flare, and focus into a small point. I've been ignoring them until the last couple of days, I've submitted two so far. Has anyone figured out what they are?

Occasionally I've recieved a Java script message: Image failed to load.

Yet the movie loaded just fine, though very slowly. Is this on my end or is it at Stardust@home?

Hi, I post over at the Bad Astronomy forum, now known as Bad Astronomy Universe Today, just came here to do a little dusting.
