I'm having trouble choosing this month!

In Massachusetts there is a tradition to "vote early and often", but I'm going to wait until a few more votes roll in.;)

This is just so ... tense:

4 votes ______ Intelligence Realm (and not: Artificial Intelligence)
4 votes ______ Rosetta@home
1 vote _______ Superlink@Technion
1 vote _______ DPAD____________
12 votes _____ total

Please, could some more members vote?
The poll will be closed September 30, 24:00 UTC

Edit: I got something wrong up there ...) ;)

Free-DC doesn't look like it will track the AI project in the stats...

Not the first time there is a draw just hours before the poll closes.
I am preparing the coins for a toss of chance ...

... unless ... Please, could some more members vote?

BTW: IIRC is this almost a record turnout; once before we have had more than 18 votes cast ...

The poll will be closed September 30, 24:00 UTC

The reason I voted for Intelligence Realm instead of Rosetta@Home is:

I'd rather be a big frog in a small pond than
be a small frog in a big pond or
a dead frog in a French restaurant.

My name is IJump, and I am a flip flopper....

I am changing my vote from Rosetta to AI.

That makes it (unofficially at this point):
AI: 8
Rosetta: 6
Everything else: Something less

I actually like the Rosetta project a lot, but I can't run it on my "farm" because it reserves way too much RAM even when suspended and set to not leave applications in memory. This isn't a problem for my home machines, but the office computers use an application that needs as much memory as it can possibly get so Rosetta is out for me. (I voted for Intelligence Realm). Assuming that the vote doesn't change dramatically in the next few hours, I'll switch all of my machines over tonight.
