I don't found any post about Stardust@Home so I created a new thread.
Stardust@Home is a distributed search by volunteers for interstellar dust in the Stardust interstellar dust collector. Volunteers have to pre-register for an expected start in spring of 2006. You will also have to pass a test to be qualified for the search. Indeed, unlike the distributed computer projects running in background tasks, this project is using your eyes to scan "focus movies" thanks to a Virtual Microscope. According to estimations, there should be about 45 interstellar dust impacts in the collector. Besides the satisfaction of contributing actively to this sample return project, your name will appear as a co-author on the paper announcing the discovery of the particle. http://stardustathome.ssl.berkeley.edu/ Rakhir |

Warning!
It cost me at least 5 points with the same growing of my incorrect answers and a clean 100% 100%! And it's not yet well fixed so far! It's not important for the search - but angry for my glory ;-) -------------------- |

I've had quite a few failed calibration movies (15) which I've looked at exhaustively and have not been able to 1. find my mistake or 2. I found the freaking track and got it wrong anyway. I stopped paying attention to that score, too fustrating to track; If they can't get it right I'm not going to worry anymore.
However, I can't help but wonder about the overall impact on the project, i.e.if ppl don't pay attention to their score, the testing program becomes ineffective, and quality control metrics go in the tank. Your Overall Score: 210 Total Movies Viewed: 870 Your Rank: 925 out of 8146 Specificity: 100% Sensitivity: 88% Movie 39071 37 4 Indeterminate Movie 20962 36 5 Indeterminate Movie 41699 52 11 Indeterminate Movie 43214 47 16 Indeterminate Movie 22712 55 3 Indeterminate Movie 41954 52 12 Indeterminate Movie 41322 62 10 Indeterminate Movie 43323 66 7 Indeterminate Movie 41590 53 11 Indeterminate Movie 41491 60 2 Indeterminate Movie 44039 36 4 Indeterminate |
