All I see in the articles are allegations. I don't see any proof that anyone did anything. It's up to a court of law to determine that, should either party decide to take it there. Unless or until there is evidence, the projects need to stay pretty neutral. ... and this is likely not the righ

One of the projects has to decide how to deal with this dishonest member (if the press reports turn out to be correct) just as several projects had to when the Wate affair was discovered.

IIRC, the 100 core processor didn't support the x86 instruction set, this new processor does. That in just two years. I wonder what things will be like in two more years. - Rom -Original Message- From: boinc_dev-boun...@ssl.berkeley.edu [mailto:boinc_dev-boun...@ssl.berkeley.edu]
