I have not used this in a while, but I am pretty sure you can set it to only run between certain hours.

Also, it will automatically turn off if CPU usage is required for other operations. It has the lowest priority.

I never noticed an issue with Folding interfering with normal computer use.

I'd like to offer my computer to fold at home to help develop the Zombie Apocalypse virus.

So I can meet this girl.

My wife is a nurse who was taking care of a patient with CJD. She had him enrolled in a program at Emory tofurther study his disease.

Unfortunately, he passed away last Sunday.

I have a spare PC I can make available for this cause and run it inhis memory.

Thank you. He was a remarkable man who devoted his life to education and music in Atlanta. He touched and inspired thousands of people.

That's a coincidence, because I live in Lazamataz.

Lazamataz, Georgia.

Right next to Chamblee, that is.

Ashford Dunwoody and Chamblee Dunwoody.

I drive by it nearly everyday on my way to work. There is usually a wreck or stalled car along that stretch of the perimeter

You could easily write a script that will turn it on and off at scheduled times, whether you install it as a service or as an app.

Bad news we’ve slipped to 102 and dropping. In two months we’ll be down to about 105.

We no longer appear in the top 100, where people would notice us!

I’ve brought a few machines online (but they aren’t fast). I used to have a real presence until water damage took out several machines in the past.

Time for us all to put together and at least keep us on the front page even if it will be at 100.

Now is the time for all good Freepers to Fold.

Sorry for the drive by post, I’m a disappointment to newbies everywhere. Thank you to my fellow folders for covering my rear while I blissfully enjoyed my week off from school (and subsequently forgot about this post).

For anyone joining the folders, I thank you from the bottom of my heart. Since the work we do translates into points (and science of course), thus a bit of a competition with other teams, using a passkey adds a bit of a bonus to the work your computer does. Here’s a bit of information on the passkey and how to get one:

To track team and individual progress, here are a few popular sites:

http://kakaostats.com/t.php?t=36120

Checking our stats, it looks like we’ve had a pretty good jump in points over the last few weeks! Keep it up!
