I beg
your pardon: you didnīt really expect to get informed about a planned outage
BEFORE it happens or a crash AFTER it happened, did you?
If you
did expect this, then you should have joined another distributed-computing
project like SETI. They do inform their participants about such things. But
people who are cool enough to find million-digit-primes should be able to find
out that the server is down the whole weekend..... Well, you have to pay for it
(in Germany), but who cares?
Such
an outage didnīt occur for the first time in my (nearly) three years supporting
GIMPS and others will follow. May be thatīs one reason why GIMPS lost about
8.000 to 9.000 machines during the last six months.
