Time for a new FreeRepublic folding@home thread.
Our FreeRepublic team of 300+ members comprised primarily of Free Republic members in good standing have banded together to donate their excess CPU cycles to a worthy cause. Via distributed computing, millions of computers around the world, contribute directly to scientific research, in the quest for a greater understanding of diseases such as Alzheimer's, Cancer, and Mad Cow (BSE).
Currently, the team is in 144th place (with 1,045 CPUs - 24,200 completed Work Units and nearly 4,000,000 points)
This is an entirely voluntary program, and if you want to learn more, please see the links posted below (or read one of the previous 8 folding threads)
Just a post to say WOO-HOO to all the FReeper Folders, for passing the 4 million mark! We rule, and DUers drool!!

I have been oscillating between 95 and 105. There is a bunch of us there within a few hundred points of each other.
Ouch, that sounds painful.
In other news, I've been too lazy to configure and fire up my old PIII. Shame on me.

There you go speaking Greek, again. LOL Man, I don't know about all that new fangled stuff - guess I'll just have to find an old Fortran or Cobal compiler & write something to make it work. (just kidding, as if I really could, LOL)
I do have Synaptic, but I think my main problem is that I don't have curl & libcurl installed. I think I'll wait for your updated help file before I try tackling it again. Thanks for all your hard work.
BTW - seeing the points on the FAHUpload page was really neat. Congrats & thanks for getting that on there.

Another by-product of migrating to a new server. Should be fixed now. Thanks for the heads-up!

Yes, indeed.
46,027 points so far today, with 2 more updates to go.
Hey! I see you've got 10 CPUs churning...Hmm. I must find more!
Congrats to Chris_Primavera for going over 20k!
