Intel Macs as well. Also, account creation is still closed (at least I couldn't create one).

@all: STOP RUNNING Predictor@Home!!! Here's what the admin over there wrote about the Wate issue:
If someone has installed the boinc client on machines that they do not have permission to that is wrong. I have no way of knowing if this has or hasn't happened. Just because "some guy" posted something on the internet is not good enough reason to take any action against anyone.

I don't see anything disturbing in the post from the admin of Predictor. At lest not so disturbing to "pronounce anathema" against the whole project.

After an innocent post in the Predictor forum, in which I supported Saenger's point of view that the rogue user Wake's account be removed, my posting rights were suspended for 2 weeks: "You may not post or rate messages until Apr 6, 2007". This not only happened to me, but also to Saenger and a number of other respected members of the BOINC community.

Don't get me wrong. I'm not really angry. A hobby is not something that should get you upset. But it just confirms to me that this is not a project that is well run. Unless something radically changes, from now on I will have nothing to do with the project.

It is fact, that wate has highjacked computers from other peoples. So the awnser from the project admin is not acceptable for me. I did not understand, why the did not stop a highjacker which has no permitions to run predictor on computers from other peoples.

They censoring every thread about this toppic. Now the third thread was censored.
I will boycott this project, becuase the threatment of the users and the BOINC community is inaceptable.

Predictor@Home admins took measures against anybody posting related to Wate, but NOTHING against Wate himself! Hacking computers and running BOINC on them isn't as bad as posting something the admin doesn't like.

It would be interesting to see "Credits per day" graph of Predictor the next few days

I've had many posts deleted. All I did was ask why my first post was deleted. They obviously cannot answer such a simple question.

Meanwhile I have been banned 4 times until 2038. Further account creation to post again is NOT possible anymore because they closed account creation for everyone now.
What a shame for that admin. *evil grin*

I agree.

This evil admin closes this thread and asks you to keep the Predictor talk in the other thread.
Please do not PM, IM or email me for support (they will go unread/ignored). Use the forum for support.

I agree. Please concentrate the discussion on the above mentioned thread and also on the following thread http://www.boincstats.com/forum/forum_thread.php?id=1835.

And also please do not post the same comment on both threads
