OK, new thread for the next week.
First, a big shout out to the SETI members who have added CPUs to the effort. Remember, its Team 36120, NOT Team 0.
Next, congrats to all for bumping our team up to 65 processors. ArgentCent is the latest to have joined our happy band of folders and jumps in at # 36 with his first completed WU. We now have 51 members in the team, and about 45 active participants.
Malsua, uriah and Ken in Texas are solidly in the top 10. One of these will probably be the new Numero Uno in a couple of weeks, barring newcomers borging dozens of unsuspecting systems (not that there's anything wrong with that!)
On the global front, Free Republic Folders is now listed at # 1448. We are poised to overtake (today) Kami Sacred Folding Team, buzzez, Naptune, PCSilencieux and Team Razorsh*g.
The only competition coming up on us is still QHT HPC. They are out producing us by about 1,000 points per day. As we gain members from the 100,000 FReepers that visit JimRob's place I expect that we will prevail and keep our lead.
Got your note TY. Folding is running fine now. I would like to see it pop up as my screen saver, any ideas on how I set that up?
... and two more machines (a 2.4ghz and a 300mhz) join the FR team.
Actually, I diabled all screensavers as they rob valuable CPU cyles.
Double click on the six-pointed red star (lower right corner) to have the black console come up.
Awesome!
Every CPU helps!
Top 1,000 - here we come!
Thanks for the thread.
Just FYI, I private mailed every new person who responded to this thread encouraging them to join F@H.
We should have 5-6 new CPUs as a result of this thread.
A few more joined as a result of the SETI thread yesterday.
We should have weekly threads from now on --> signing up just a couple of new CPUs each week, we can get into the Top100.
You got five from me (three XP, two FreeBSD, lots of cycles) between texas booster's email and this thread, and several others have posted, so it looks like a good day.

Check out the competition's (Kos) stats
http://vspx27.stanford.edu/cgi-bin/main.py?qtype=teampage&teamnum=48083
How embarrasing is that for Daily “Screw Them” Kos
Just the usual problem with two-byte brains. Their Team ID is 48083, and none of them can count past 32767...
clearly an indication that they started it just recently. some moonbat kos lurker on FR wanted to compete with the mighty FR, lol
Most work units complete in about a week for slower processors. You should still be able to contribute 50 work units and several thousand points per year!
Did not know that about dual processor systems. I'll need to re-read the FAQs.
Thanks!
I searched to see if DUmmies have a team.
Sure enough, it seems they plan to take on the might FR as well

HaHaha
At 12:03 CST I listed 5 teams that we were gaining on. All have been passed by 3:00 and we have five new teams to conquer:
For my dad and mom (great name, BTW)
Stony Brook
YI Systems
monoteque.de
Etna Valley Folding Team
We should break Top 1400 on Monday.
I've got about 20 AMD dual core machines coming online in the next month and they are ALL going to be folding for team 36837.
Maybe I'll have a couple do work for team 36120 for the sake of loyalty.
Btw, I didnt know that freerepublic had a folding team going.
Time to betray your team and switch to FR! :)
I dont have the time to correct the error on that machine but my correct score is 55035 more than that listed on team 36837.
That's how I've got all my folding projects configured.
I am one of them. I can't tell what the thing is doing. There is no way to verify communications. I started troubleshooting my network based on failed uploads, only to find out the server side is rejecting the connections. I thought SETI was the only good thing to come from Berkeley, now they've screwed that up too.
My new Dell XPS has a Pentium D, with 2 GB ram. Doing 4 to 6 units a day.
