Win95GUI:
Does anyone know the extent of the damage that occurred when the AC went off?  Is it data or hardware?

I know of no reports yet......
But being a weekend, I dunno if they will be getting the AC repairs done before tomorrow.  And that has to be fixed before they start trying to restart things and assess what may have occurred.  Unless they can boot 1 unit at a time for evaluation without overheating things again.

Or they may be taking their Sunday off and waiting until tomorrow when they will be there all day to work things out.

If these AC's cool other computers needed on campus then I would bet they are being worked on. If only seti then willprobably wait till Monday.

Geek@Play:
There is allready a mechanism to take care of the ghost work, if only it was enabled.

When a client computer makes a request to the servers that request contains a list of all the work the computer has on board.  The server then would compare that list to the list on the servers for that client computer.  Any differences would be sent out again to the client computer.

But again, this is disabled because the surge of ghost work units being sent out overwhelms the system.  I believe if they enabled it and just weathered the storm out then it would come down to a more normal level.

Of course the current policy with the 3 day science fair exasperates the problem greatly.

If I remember correctly unfortunately, Their servers are stuck in a small storage closet. Not much bigger than a broom closet which is why they have so much trouble with the heat. Doesn't take long for things to go south when the air goes out in there.  :-(
