Higley schools pull space-search software from 5,000 computers
by Emily Gersema - Jun. 5, 2010 07:11 AMThe Arizona Republic
Thousands of Higley Unified School District computers have been cleared of software that helps scientists look for signs of life in outer space and that led to the arrest of a former district technologist.上千台Higley 联合学区（一个学区）的电脑上一种帮助科学家寻找外太空生命迹象的软件被移除，并导致一位前学区技术人员被捕。
Justin Greene, a Higley information technology director, says district computers have been programmed so that every time they are booted up, they automatically check for and remove the University of California-Berkeley software, BOINC. Justin Greene, Higley学校的信息技术主管，透露学区计算机已经被编写了程序，每次开机它们会自动检测并移除加州大学伯克利分校的软件：BOINC。
Higley officials say the software began appearing on district computers in 2005 without their knowledge or permission.higley学校的官员说这一软件最早出现在2005年，且未得到校方的承认或许可。
A tech audit last year, led by Greene when he was a consultant on contract, revealed BOINC was installed on an estimated 5,000 Higley computers.去年，当时还是一个合约顾问的Greene所组织的一次技术检查发现大约有5000台计算机被安装了BOINC软件。
Officials then accused an IT administrator, Bradley Niesluchowski, of installing it on computers.
Niesluchowski resigned last fall, then was arrested by Gilbert police and accused of stealing computers and tech equipment and downloading pornography. He also was accused of placing some of the Higley equipment at Globe Unified School District while he was working on contract for his private business.官员们随即指控一位IT管理员， Bradley Niesluchowski，将BOINC安装在电脑上。Niesluchowski 于去年秋天辞职，随后被Gilbert的警察逮捕并被指控偷窃电脑和技术设备以及下载“不河蟹”电影。他还被指控在供职于私人公司时曾将部分Higley学区的设备安置于Globe 联合学区（另一学区）。
Higley officials estimated the software removal and missing equipment cost the district more than $1 million.Higley的官员估计移除软件以及丢失的设备将使学校付出超过100万美元的代价。
Niesluchowski, of Mesa, has denied the accusations, arguing he is the victim of a personal vendetta by Higley Superintendent Denise Birdwell.He has not been charged. He and his attorney have not returned messages seeking comment.来自梅萨城的Niesluchowski 矢口否认这些控告并争辩说自己是Higley负责人Denise Birdwell蓄意报复的受害者。（最终）他并未被判罪，他和他的律师也没有寻求上诉。
The software, BOINC, is a program for the University of California-Berkeley's Search for Extra Terrestrial Intelligence project, also known as [email protected] says UC-Berkeley SETI scientists and HUSD severed the link between the project and district computers in October.BOINC是加州大学伯克利分校为寻找外星智能生命项目而开发的一种软件，又称SETI@Home。Greene称伯克利的科学家们与Higley联合学区在十月份时在项目与计算机之间建立了联系。
Millions of computer users worldwide have downloaded BOINC to help scientists with the alien search or to break down data for other important projects, including cancer research, that require millions of computers to sift through vast amounts of information.全世界已经有上百万计算机用户下载BOINC程序帮助科学家寻找外星人或推动其他重要项目，如癌症研究。这些项目均需要大量的计算机从海量的数据中筛选出有效信息。
UC-Berkeley scientists have said BOINC (Berkeley Open Infrastructure for Network Computing) is harmless. It downloads and scans data collected by a national radio telescope. The software clicks on whenever the computer is idle and in screensaver mode, so it won't interfere with other programs when they are in use.加州大学伯克利分校的科学家们说BOINC（博客里开放式网络计算平台）是无害的。它下载并扫描由国家射电天文台所收集的数据。软件只会在计算机空闲或进入屏保模式时运行，并不会干扰其他程序的正常使用。
However, Higley officials said the software interrupted classroom lessons.但是，Higley的官员们认为这种软件影响了课堂教学。
They claimed teachers who were using large electronic classroom boards, SMART boards, connected to their computers would have to stop their lessons because BOINC would click on while they were working with students.他们称使用大型电子教学板、智能教学板的教师在连接他们电脑时不得不停止教学。因为当他们在授课时BOINC程序将会运行。
Since Niesluchowski was arrested last fall, UC-Berkeley SETI statistics show the credits for data downloads that he had accumulated, allegedly via the username "Nez," dropped off to nothing因为Niesluchowski在去年被捕，加州大学伯克利分校的SETI数据统计现在显示他通过用户名Nez所积累的下载资料的积分已经归零。
第八段中开头的of Mesa 不太会翻译，请教大家！（已由Youth解决，感谢！）
还有就是希望大家狠狠地挑刺！砖头狠狠的拍！谢谢大家！ |
