    I must be really bored

    I just read the privacy policy (yes, the whole thing). Seems pretty straightforward for the most part. It's been a year. It might need a slight update, if only to update the date.

    I can't wait for football season. The draft starts Thursday!

    LoL, your such an NFL fanatic.....

    I used some web service for generating the privacy policy by answering a questionnaire. Guess I'll have to run through it again.

    You want boring? Try watching Wildlife@Home tasks download. 350MB? Have they ever heard of compression?



    You'll never know what you're living for until you know what you're willing to die for.

    They're actually sending out work? Is it finishing and validating?

    Some of the tasks are over 1gb d/l, and they take less than 20 minutes to complete. Apparently, that is already compressed.

    However, the next batch of tasks will run 20-50x longer.

    Yes, they are mp4 files(video files) so that is compressed. It took as most as long to download the file/s as it did the process it!

    Not sue I want use up my default monthly download quota, on a project like this.
