nope, don't think so!!!
join in dc,
how can you make them keep the progs running?? 🙂
 
Service install as admin, remove any admin rights that they have, use group policy to prohibit them from messing with services.

And if they still try to stop them, take away their PCs, Set the PCs up in an area you can keep them out of.

Whack 'em with a cane.....

Darn kids, get out of my PC!

😉😉

Give them $1 for every WU crunched. Or a trip to get ice cream every 10k milestone they hit. Let them crunch something so that they can see the pretty pictures (ie how my wife got addicted to the original SETI 😉 ), and show them the result of the work they are doing, if at all possible. Pretty soon they will be assimilating computers for you.

Do you think $1 would be enough?😉

In SoB it will I think, since a complete test consists of ~11k work units that is done in about five days on modern computers. I surely know I don't have $11k to spend every 5 days. 😉

If so, I would have had the output of IJump in no time.m 😛

Well, it doesn't have to be a monetary reward. Any sort of reward will work just fine.

Rewards. Bah. Mamby Pamby new gen parents. Man up, tell them like it is. You control the purse strings, and this ain't no democracy, be a parent, tell them they'll run DC apps and like it!

How much did you pay for that PC they are using? 'nuff said.

Spare the cane, and spoil the child!






( 😉 😉 hey, whatever works for you. Rewards, punishment, as long as they run DC projects. 😀 )
 
"You kids nowadays have it sooo easy. Back in my day, we had to crunch WUs by hand, threw waist deep snow, uphill both ways." /curmudgeon mode







As with anyone & i suppose kids especially in choosing a project, it needs to something they have at least a little interest in.
That being said though, when's the last time a DC project interfered with average day to day computing activity.
 
lol@spacehead! :laugh:

Recently. The SOB service does not play nice on my home PC. It's practically unusable. So I just run the gui client and made sure the wife knows not to log out. 🙂
 
Yeah, the SoB service does have some bugs. It interferes with fast user switching, and slows down shutdown/logoff activities by quite some amount.
 
I have no problems ... They got the comps from me. I explained it all (what DC is about, how it helps, how it heats the house, etc) to them, made the comps as quiet as they can be - which is very quiet indeed - and told them to run it.
They do: 24/7/365. They even baby-sit them sometimes - i.e. they tell me when something is not running well.
They regard petrusbroder as a kind of family-team and are proud about it.
