Anyone interested in running some Cosmology@Home (Free-DC members only please...)

They seem to be ok with me giving out the invite code to a few more people. It's been VERY stable recently..

PM me for the invite..

Bok? Anybody? Someone know how often / what time(s) their stats page gets updated?

They export the xml stats at least 4 times per day, perhaps more often. Their own stats pages should be every 30mins I think.

Could someone hook me up with information on what, exactly, is happening with the work units? Are they basically taking the 10^100 possible theories(I got that number from Discover magazine and, no, they didn't explain it) and cutting them down to, say, 10^95 theories, through logic?
