The F@H program is free, but it is a tremendous success, no doubt.

I do think that there are PS3 titles that have sold more copies than have been D/L.

BTW, the songs that F@H plays are in the MUSIC collection on the PS3 hard drive.

Thanks again. I wonder if this one’s gif sig is generated on the fly?

I just want to see if my numbers will change. They should.

FAHMonitor is currently offline. The server it sits on is in pieces in my shop. I was hoping to have the application converted to a new platform, and running on a different server (ASP conversion to RubyOnRails), but the new version is not yet ready for prime time.

My apologies to those of you who use the tool on a regular basis!

Bummer. I know that lots of folks use it, literally across the world, including folders that are not part of FR.

Good luck getting it going. Hey, you have Tuesday morning free don’t you? ;’)

Congrats to all of you for having your first points show up here:

That means that your folding installation on whatever platform is working well.

Please ping if you have any questions.

Found a great quote from Vijay Pande in Chicago Tribune - "Bit by bit, home computers aid science":

Yet not every scientific question lends itself to being solved by thousands of computers, each working on one tiny piece of the problem, Pande said.

"A pregnancy takes nine months, but you can't get nine women together and get it done in a month," he said. "Some problems can't be divided."

Can you imagine the PMS quotient in that operation?       :^)

I added one of my computers yesterday and a second the today, I used the same login name on both. Will this work?

[texas booster]

It will work just fine, as long as you use the same team number, 36120.

Sometimes folks don’t put in the team number and are merrily folding for “Anonymous”.

You can have as many systems folding as you want using your same name.

Here is the link to view new users, for about a week after their first points:

You hit 600,000 points on Dec 31 2007! Not bad. It seems as though your PPD doubled in Sept.

You are producing 33% of the points that the entire DUmmies team is pumping out.

Not bad for just one FReeper!

in late aug and sept I found three of the X1950 cards at a real good price I upgraded my small 3 folders (compaq presario’s) they now average about 500 points a day each

in jan-feb I hope to upgrade the cpu on my main computer and go smp with it and replace the motherboard and cpu on one lightning got last spring

[EasySt]

With my family's help I've made my goal of getting into our top ten, too.
We didn't quite make it in 2007, but close enough... ;-)

[mouser]

You have been climbing real fast. you should be in top 5 by summer at the rate you are going.
