Do you backup your BOINC directory?

I back up my main windows machine from time to time since Honza pointed out a utility to do it easily. I don't backup my linux box - if its not automated, I can't be bothered. Also, since this machine is CPDN dedicated, I figure t he risks are smaller. source

Going Dual Core - any need to tweak BOINC?

So I bought a dual core athlon and it's on it's way in the mail. Is there anything I need to do to Boinc for it to take advantage of both cores or does Boinc automatically recognize it and it makes the necessary adjustments? source

Anybody contributing to BOINC?

Is Azureus bittorrent client compatible with BOINC?

There are some Azureus plugins that use OpenGL, but they aren't installed by default. That said, I have used Azureus with BOINC for years without any problems. source

Where to find programming projects that help science?

Projects like scipy and numpy are largely contributed by the scientific community. I'm sure they would appreciate any help you thought you could provide. source
