You don't see a change instantly, you need to finish folding at least one protein to show up in the teams' list.



Yes, folding is the most important part, but the team's pride is right next. ;)

Well, there are times in one's life where miracles simply happen and it doesn't really help to ponder on them but to simply and thankfully accept them. ;) I'm currently in the same situation like...

Well, the problem with people like me having a slow box folding is that it seems like we're not active depending on the day you're looking at the stats. Sometimes I get a WU assigned that takes two...

Well, you could also move to a country without hurricanes. Overhere, our mountains shield us from bad weather - and burry you in avalanches and mud slides instead. :D

You can set your config file for folding in a way that it only works WU that are maximally 5MB big - I guess your dialup would still be able to handle that. :)

Yeah, but my workstation is chewing on a 5'000 frame WU for quite a while already. With a 500MHz proc, that doesn't really make me look like still contribute anything. :(

Yep, that had me wondering, too. :) The first time I saw the "Frames completed:" message I was like "Eesh, how is my 500MHz rig gonna handle so many steps???", yet it didn't seem to be that much...

Seems like we should start "Fighting Irish". :D

Yes, very true. Yet we're probably still motivated to fold to a big degree because of the reward (i.e. certificate) and competition (e.g. passing Microsoft), two of the most basic mechanisms in...

Hooray, hooray, hooray! :D



Welll, that's no problem, but it would be nice if you save your scrrenshot as a png file next time. :)

Sorry to hear about your aunt, ions. :(

Freezing 55°? That's when we start to get the t-shirts out. :D

Yes, you should deselect the 5MB barrier. The two machines I'm folding with are P3/500MHz and for "large" WU (i.e. those close to...

Hah, I was still shoveling snow two weeks ago. :p

Hooray, hooray! :D

I won't, sounds like one is going to spend a looooot of time with it. ;) Well, what really made me think was the author saying when it finally runs you can exspect it to run for two years and then...

Hmm, XbaxeSysAdmin and I started folding about at the same time and he had more than the double of my score, but now I just passed him as he hasn't been folding for the last seven days.

Hey Xbaxe,...

Well, although it's not really a good idea, you'll be okay having your fold run as root, especially since you're behind a firewall and (probably) don't have any sensitive services that could be...

I seem to get large WU, too, both that are currently folding count 400 frames. Now I have two PIII/500MHz folding 24/7, and like in your case they take ~30min/frame which results about in one week of...

Did anybody else notice as of late that je_fro's posts more and more resemble his avatar? Poor fella, he probably failed to took his eyes off in time from the screen with the helices. :p

@ Cerf: congrats. :)

@ pz Mike zq:

Don't worry about overheating your laptop. I have F@H running on my old Dell Inspiron 3800 laptop that has a broken case fan since it fell from a truck in the...

Gee, that team from latvia is still moving pretty fast, they'll overtake us in one day. :mad:

Oh, seems like I mistook "few weeks" as "three weeks" when I recalled the FAQ. Obviously my phonological loop tricked me. :D

Yes, when a fold isn't finished within 3 weeks, it's being dropped as they need to move on.

Technically this is true, yes. As there is no way (or at least none within acceptable range) to compute the whole population of proteins one has to extract a representative sample. The Monte Carlo...

Hmm, after reading the article I slowly begin to grasp why they need such a huge computational power: they are using a Monte Carlo design combined with cluster analysis... these guys are crazies!...

Well, it looks like he is some sort of Marylin Manson taken freshly out of the fridge. :D
