A less formal survey

[redukt]

I know there have been surveys floating around, but they tend to take a LONG time to fill out, and they're usually geared toward results worthy of a project, essay, etc. I'm interested in more informal input, so how about a two question survey?


Why do you participate in DC projects? Which projects are your favorites (pick two) any why?

PS - Medium size FaD dump coming soon :D

I dunno. I like to make fast machines doing something, not just for Word.....

Well, the official reason is science. That's why I mainly run those projects with scientifically important aims that are likely to reach them.

I also like stats , and a stable client would be great; does not need many features, would be great if it displayed its progress though.

Currently I run FaD and that won't change in the near future. DPAD would be my favourite alternative.

Only for fun and a little of competition.

DNET and TSC. Both easy to "sneak-internet".

1. Three reasons. I don't want to waste my spare CPU cycles, I want to contribute to science, and I like competing against other teams.

2. DPAD is my major project, but Seventeen-or-bust is also good.

1. Stats! Yeap, I am a Stats Whore.

2. Dnet and ChessBrain
