Hi there,

maybe some of you could help me in becoming Master Of Science by
participating in my project?
All you have to do is download a program from this website http://primes.go.pl
and leave it for its own. Site is in polish, you probably won't
understand a thing, so here you have all info.
This program finds how many prime numbers are in a specified range. It
does not slow down your machine, beacuse it has a low priority. It has
also an autoupdate module, which makes automatic updates when
necessary. This program is like Seti@Home project, but it runs all the
time at a low priority, rather than as a screensaver.
Program doesn't have any viruses all other kind of those things. I am
really seriuos, I want to graduate - not send you viruses... But
instalator was built with Nullsoft Scriptable Install System, which in
some antivirus programs is treated as a worm or something.
Check this at your program's provider website, before continue,
beacause i can not guarantee, that someone wasn't able to attached a
virus to my program (break to my website or something) - i am onest
with you.

It would be just great, if you could leave your machine running in the
night with this program. I would apretiate that.

Thanks in advance for any help.

Wow. If you are indeed who you say, you have a rough road ahead.
I for one would never install an executable from an unknown source.
It's actually an interesting problem, though: what would you have
to do to convince me to install your program?

I wish you luck, but I'm not optimistic about your chance of success.
Might there be any other way of obtaining the necessary computing
resources or is your plan an integral part of your thesis?


Regards,

Rick
