    New Cosmology Project ... !!!

    Did anyone else get an Invitation Code to this Project > http://cosmos.astro.uiuc.edu/cosmohome/ ... I managed to get 1 ... ... & if nobody else did I will start a AMD User's Team once I'm able to Create an Account at the Project. I think early next week the people that got the Code will be able to Create their Accounts.

    I've been trying off and on all day but haven't been able to yet today ...

    I don't always either, in fact I've been turned down quite a few times all ready. It seems there's a very select group of people that get into every new Project that starts & then it's everybody else for themselves ... ... I just happened to see a Post at the Site about E-Mailing the Admin if you wanted a Invite so I fired off a E-Mail & a short time later I got the Code. Then I seen another Post about they had enough Testers now & wouldn't be giving out any more Invites for now.

    I emailed Scott (the admin of the project) yesterday. His was requesting testers for the later test. I got my reply when I woke up.

    Looks like it's now closed now, unfortunately.

    I noticed the same thing. Seems like the same list of people "get in" below the ground floor.

    And us schmucks hear about it later by accident...
    Logic is the art of being wrong with confidence.

    It's a perfectly natural social phenomena actually

    People that have over time created a reputation across the boinc community, by participating on most (if not all) project's forums, tend to be well known all around and get themselves invited before anyone else.

    I think few of us here post on the projects boards, and most of the times when we do is for complaining about workunits/credits/apps not working/etc...

    Your right on a lot of that Neo, thats my biggest drawback, I don't frequent the Project Boards enough but don't really want to. Probably most people in the BOINC Projects know me but I don't Socialize with them so I'm left out like everybody else.

    I used to Post a lot at the Projects but when I brought up a few objections on a few things that were being Posted I got jumped all over by some of the biggest Jerkoff's in the Projects. So I just keep my mouth shut now and let my PC's do the talking for me.

    Funny thing is a lot of those people are Moderators now even after some of them were Banned Temporarily for the same things I objected too ... Go Figure
