R@H is not working correctly as yet here Error on file upload: can't open log fileetc... I imagine that KEL went home for some much needed rest, but hopefully somebody is still there that can fix it. You may also want to increase the deadline for WU's (that you accept as valid). |

It is truly unfortunate to have such an event occur to the Rosetta@Home project. I, and the Rosetta@Home global user community are very proud to be a part of this project from the beginning, and we will be here to assist this project for as long as it is running. We would like to give a piece of our mind to the vendor of the hardware though... but I think David and the Rosetta@Home team will do a good job giving our piece of mind to them anyway. David, let us know when everything is up and running. The Rosetta world community is here to back you up 100%. Regards, John Koulouris,(Esq.) |

I have to admit that it is tempting to give out the email address of the OEM vice presidents to the R@H community to allow the user base to express their opinion directly to those concerned... -KEL |

I have to admit that it is tempting to give out the email address of the OEM vice presidents to the R@H community ... Hehe, would be funny! But I think it's already enough for them, if you address you complaint on behalf of more than 150.000 participants. This is the worst advertising I can imagine, if I were VP of this company. :) |

I have to admit that it is tempting to give out the email address of the OEM vice presidents to the R@H community ... yes--maybe we can file a complaint with 150,000 names listed... I might try to contact them early this week... |

I have to admit that it is tempting to give out the email address of the OEM vice presidents to the R@H community ... take a ad out in the times and the p-i and one of the computer trade journals that they advertise in and give them grief there. |

"Complaint" my @$$, if Housing and Food Services is anywhere in the ballpark with their estimate !!! I'd hit them with an "bill" for $1m !!! While I'm certain the OEM has all sorts of contractual clauses disclaiming various types of liability... the fact that Rosie can quantify her loss, apparently as a direct result of the OEM's negligence, I would think that Rosetta's future SHOULD be including some VERY NICE free upgrades... Hate to say it, but if the OEM is not in a "goodwill" sort of mood, then it may be worth bringing in the lawyers... Hardware failure is one thing, negligent product design is something completely different... (to wit: "The newest edition of our SAN hardware was shipped with a firmware revision that contained an insidious bug - one which caused the new SAN disks to vanish after roughly 45 days of service. ") I'm certain that beyond myself, out of the 150,000, there are additional law school grads who would be more than happy to write a letter on Rosie's behalf... yes--maybe we can file a complaint with 150,000 names listed... I might try to contact them early this week... |

heck, this would make a good case study and project for the UW law school students. "Complaint" my @$$, if Housing and Food Services is anywhere in the ballpark with their estimate !!! |
