    Re: Androinc

    I don't really think the project will end any time soon, because isn't DNETC doing a similar type of project? They're not even close to being done, and they're using HUGE amounts of GPUs...
    ...this project on CPU alone would take forever. When they port it to GPU, we might see it finish much sooner, depending on the credit they give out, and if we're all willing to throw thousands of high end GPUs at it.

    But...by then we'll have SO MANY MM credits on this puppy that we'll actually be happy when we do crack it and the project completes successfully.

    I think androinc is being managed by the same people as dnetc.

    And that means that the first GPU app will be ATI.

    Re: Androinc

    "AndrOINC is a boinc project trying to break a 1024 bit RSA key used by Motorola to sign the boot and recovery partitions on the Motorola Milestone. If this key could be broken, we would be able to sign our own boot/recovery images, which would enable us to run custom kernels and recovery images on the Milestone. "

    I was wondering if it's actually legal or how legal it is to so blatantly sit there and "hack" a private encryption key? Are we now accomplices in a criminal activity?

    One could argue that it isn't illegal to pick a lock. You just can't open the door because that's when it becomes breaking and entering. The cops on TV always try the doorknob and if it is open assume they can enter and everyone knows that if you see it on TV or read it on the Internet, it must be true.

    It is my understanding that "breaking and entering" are two separate criminal acts. So if one were to pick a lock or open a door on a property that is not yours you are now chargeable with "breaking"; so if you pick a lock, open the door and enter... you can now be charged with 2 counts of breaking, 1 of entering and undoubtedly trespassing.

    As I mentioned to DrPop, any of my machines running Win2000 errored out. It doesn't like them.

    Well credits are reporting on the site, but it looks like they haven't exported to the stats sites yet. I also am still seeing significant validation errors using the 64bit linux 1.02 client. On the other hand since Aqua is down it gives me something to point my stuff at so I expect I will see more errors than most. I think I have 120+ validation errors on the 1.02 app but not sure how many have been done in total.
