Honduras and Costa Rica both seem to have fairly stable governments and nice citizens. I had high hopes for Nicaragua but will have to wait and see what Ortega destroys.
You're not kidding. I've spent around 50 days over a handful of trips to Mainland China. They tend to kill animals to eat then throw out all the good bits. Everything is knuckles, beaks, butts and feet. Boy they love chicken feet too. I've seen a guy plow through 8-10 as an appetizer. Some stuff was good, some stuff was horrendous. I got a pic somewhere...lemme see if I can find it...there it is.
I don't know what this is, but I dubbed it BOWL OF VOMIT
Thanks to all the newest folders for joining the team.
You can find your points listed here:

I’ve had too many systems down for too long due to a bad circuit.
Since I’m traveling extensively at this time of year, I won’t have a chance to replace the breaker and have another circuit added until probably September at the earliest.
Brought up a minimal number of high value systems and should overtake you by about 650,000 I hope.
I’m on the road right now, so all of my systems are dormant. I’ll be back home in early July and should have 5 or so procs folding shortly thereafter.
I’ll hate relinquishing this spot, but you have blown the doors of my systems for a long time.
Now I am working on building a Linux system. Maybe one day I’ll have it working, and inject some go juice into the points race.
Send me a set of keys and I’ll baby sit them. Louisiana is only a few hours away.
Course, if I meet that nice trooper who garnered my autograph the last time I flew down I-49 it may be a rather expensive trip. ;’}
Can Highly recomend the smp clients.
The windows one - is dead easy to install and get running - does need a little bit of baby sitting and ideal for quad and C2D’s with a min of 1gb ram. (600-1200ppd on a C2D@2.0)
but will run on pentium d’s (above 2.8) and X2 (4000+)
The 64bit linux client is the top performer (1500-2100ppd on a C2D@3.0) One of my teams members has a guide to setting it up
http://www-users.york.ac.uk/~as239/temp/SMPGuideVer0.5.pdf
Its good with the x2’s, C2D & quads - Pentium D 900 series can work but only just.
It’s hassle to set up (unless you use linux which I don’t) but once running is really stable.
But types of SMP have WU with really short deadline (3 or 4 days) so really need to be run on pc’s that fold more that 15h a day if not 24/7.
Can some one add me to the ping list missed this thread completely.
Texas Booster,
I’m actually sorry to announce it, but you are now at #7 and won’t be #6 again until you pass Chris_Primavera.
Normally I take pride in moving up the stats, but it’s kind of sad to pass you (as it was when I passed Egon) as you’ve done so much to help myself and others to fold.
Congrats for the pass!
Your jump up is mostly due to your Linux system and the PS/3, right?
Just to show everyone that you don’t have to have access to a school full of computers to pump out the points.
I have about 30 systems reporting in, all of them WinTel boxes. Most are at 50% or 60% CPU since they are older systems and I want a good response time.
Actually, most of my currently running systems are SMP (several Windows and Linux). The PS/3 is a consistent source of points as well as the GPU box. In fact the GPU and PS/3 combined keep me on pace with you, and the other systems put me ahead.
SMP has been the big winner. Although the Linux SMP seems to generate slightly more points than Windows, it is a marginal difference and the Windows boxes are so easy to set up for SMP (and much easier to monitor).
Is it time for a new thread? This one seems rather dead :(
Yeah, this thread has been ignored long enough.
I will have to come up with something for a new thread. Maybe the rise of Blu-ray, and get additional PS3 players folding?
I hate running out of both time and ideas!
Well some ideas:
Congratulate me for making it to #5 of Freepers and only being 10 years out from catching Klutz.
Or point out the race between JCEccles and the fast approachning Green Hornet and GOP Biker. Will JCEccles make it into the top 10 Freepers before they catch him (Green Hornet needs summer break to end to start ramping up again)
Congrats to you JosephW and also to Linda_Geiger who, at long last, has pulled ahead of me.
Short notice (only received the e-mail today): Anyone in the south San Francisco Bay Area who wants to know everything about the FAH project will want to attend this event tomorrow evening:
