*bump* We've had 15-16 Active processors this week. That's awesome, but I'd love to see more jatraquero's in on this. (besides, we need more competition in de-throning Leto.)

Well, so far for me, 7 WUs, but my computer is frequently off.
The more I think about this idea, the more it appeals to me. Think of all the research projects and experiments out there that require huge ammounts of computing that is otherwise unavailable. I would like to see distributed computing become a standard for anyone who has a broadband connection. I only hope it doesn't become too commercial, like the new version of Kazaa (I think), that sells your processing power to pharmaceutical companies.

*checks stats* uh-oh, I'm only up from ludosti by 1 point! I had to go and take down my second system for a week. Ah well, I'll get a good ways ahead of you, just wait. (ok, empty threat, just allow me my disillusions.)

My hubby added two more computers to my consortium yesterday - his computer and the file server at home. I will rule the folding world! Muahahaha!! Posts: 5879 | Registered: Apr 2001

It should be easy for you to catch up to Leto Ludosti. He hasn't turned in any work units in over a week. I think Letos' playing nice and making it easy on you Posts: 738 | Registered: Jul 2002

Hi all, I just downloaded the screensaver version (and yep I'm on the Hatrack team!). One question - does it only process when my PC is idle (i.e. screensaver on), or all the time?

it uses any and all spare CPU time you have, so it operates all the time, so say...you're running...oh let's say photoshop and it's using 40% of your CPU, FaCore (the folding@home program) will use the remaining 60%, if photoshop is using 100%, it won't use anything until photoshop gives up some processing time.

I've got my wife talked into letting me (in the future sometime) setting up another system, possibly a multimedia PC to hook to the TV...More processors! HAHAHA

In newsweek they had an article about distributed computing and folding@home. I thought some people who are participating in this may be interested in reading the article. It can be found here
Right now we have had 30 active processors this week, that is awesome. We could always use more processors though...

Please notice that I had to take my machine off that name for a month to be caught up to and barely passed. I'll be taking the lead again within a week or so, and I won't be allowing such an affront any more.

I think it's wonderful that I can have so many more work units, but everyone is getting more points per work unit than I am. Even funnier because I'm not running the most CPUs, either (just the fastest folding ones).
I'll get you, my Lusti... and yer little Paul, too... [psycheout] [/psycheout]

Anyone else notice that the results haven't changed for a while? I know I've submitted at least a half dozen WU's, but they haven't shown up. Strange.

I'm still incensed that even though I'm putting out more WUs, that I can't get points like some others...

Are you getting any WU's from projects 180-183? Those seem to be the largest (ie, worth the most).

Do you have to be connected to the internet for this program to run? My family is very fond of pulling out my LAN cable when I'm not around (its a long story, but its true, whenever I leave they un plug me fromt the net! :eek .
Also, I did register for Hatrack, but it doesn't show me their, any reason why?

it won't show you until you finish a WU, and it only connects when it sends and recieves the information, otherwise, it's completley autonomous, you can set it so that it pauses and waits until you let it log onto the F@H server.

Heh...I really only have two (desktop system gets counted as two, as both the linux and Windows partition has returned results).

Its on now, I'm going to start putting all the computers around here on folding at home, starting with my room mate.
