Following that logic then the BOINC client could and should not use or interpret the Resource Share which is set on that same page. But the BOINC client does read RS and does use it, however ineffectually, so your argument is without merit ... sorry ... I grant that the client is not looking at it ... but that is a design and implementation flaw ... _______________________________________________ boinc_dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.ssl.berkeley.edu/mailman/listinfo/boinc_dev To unsubscribe, visit the above URL and (near bottom of page) enter your email address.
