Its the FAQ.

Welcome to the team.

:D
They are goinngg down.

[latergator116]

Yay! I got it to work.

You're going down knights who say ni or whoever you are.:)

[Mr. Anderson]

Well, they found the posts and taunting - so make sure to go in and throw some mud around.

I think its quite cool that the day we're passing them, the 24th, is the 20th Anniversary of the Mac! :D

[Powerbook G5]

I just felt like I had to do my part and register for their forums to spread a little peace and joy in light of the occasion. :D

[Sir Fart]

Ni !

Proceed at your own peril :( .

KWSN is a devilishly stupid, errr, clever team that has laid the most diabolical trap imagineable should you proceed as you're presently and overtake them.

They'll start by hacking off your limbs and THEN they'll get really rough :eek: . We don't give second chances. Turn around now and RUN AWAY like the silly girly-men you are....... while you still can.

Great peril awaits thee.

Ni !

I've already told you that your own peril is too perilous and that it would behoove you to move aside gracefully.

Seeing as that probably won't happen.....Ni!

[KWSN_Mildew]

Now I gotta switch to Mac too!

Silly Mac people. Get a freakin message board that support pictures!

[Selecter]

Please. :rolleyes:

If all our Macs are gay, then tell me exactly how you feel again about being whipped by a bunch of gay computers?

[Mr. Anderson]

They're just upset and flaying around at what ever they can. It could get ugly :D

Just another reason that the 24th of January is going to be a special day :p

D

[latergator116]

My iBook will be folding 24/7.;) oh, you guys got 4 more days left.:p

[Sir Fart]

He's not saying that Mac computers are gay. Computers by their nature are asexual. However, their users are quite another thing :p !!!

[Dreadnought]

Therefore, Sir "Pooped in his royal pants", We have cool smileys and not those ugly purple gay ones. Some pc people do everything to brighten up their ugly gray box!

Since when doesn't Mac Rumors support pictures?

[Mr. Anderson]

For the record:

Use of certain words may be considered unacceptable, even if they're not caught by the filters.

Taunt away, but lets keep it above board.

Sadly it seems we won't be passing the Knights on the 24th, but rather the evening of the 23rd. Maybe we should slow down a little? ;)

[ExoticFish]

i just started folding last week and already i've pumped out 21 WU's! i'm so glad i decided to fold finally! i've read about our rivalry with the knights a few times... glad to be part of the butt whoopin! :D

edit: nevermind... another got done, make that 22! :p :)

[Selecter]

My AMD boxen had a fan that started grinding away and making large noises so I had to take it offine. :mad:

Just for the record, the AMD 3000+ single CPU does anywhere from 80 to 100 points a day, while the dual G5 does at worst 200 points a day to a best of 242 points a day depending on WU's recieved from master control.

Despite having a 330 mhz per cpu speed disadvantage, the G5 per CPU still matches or exceeds the Athlon 3000+.

:D I wub my G5. :D

ah damn, it would have been more fun on the 24th - but who knows, they might speed up in the next day or two.....it will be close :D

[Powerbook G5]

Should we help out the knights so that we pass them instead on the 24th? Nah...

And for the record, damn your G5's, I used to climb the ranks rather swiftly to the extent of being near the top 60's and now I am back in the 100's after all your G5 systems started folding. Even the 2.8 GHz Dell PC I used at home cannot keep up with them.

[Powerbook G5]

I thought it appropriate to add to this board what I did the the Knights' with my first post... :D

[Rower_CPU]

Forget slowing down...we're almost in the RED!!!

Go team!!! :D

[edit - D'oh! Mr. A beat me to it (http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=56797). :p ]

My iBook 700mhz is going strong and I am already 84% done with my protein.:D

[MrMacMan]

Go Team Go!

:D

Have Fun you little knights!

:pfft:

Prepare to be boarded!

[Selecter]

I fixed the fan in the AMD box, back on as of tonight. So 90~100 points a day more. I'll keep it on until we pass the knights, I wanna be a part of that event. :D

dumb ass taunting. :rolleyes:

waiting for the updated 4.0 script to get the dual G5 back on......

[jbeetz]

...waiting for the updated 4.0 script to get the dual G5 back on......

Selector... you might try this install script http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=56656 I found on the folding community board.

If you want to do the setup manually, here's what worked for me:

1. go to stanford and download the command line client, follow their directions (copy fah4 to desktop, run it and configure it, BUT set the machine id to 2!!!)

1a. trash the disk image that held the download... you'll be getting a second copy and don't want to be confused!

2. go to your Library, and move fah4 from the desktop to the folder Folding@home.

3. rename that folder to something like, Folding@home1

4. go back to stanford and download another copy of fah4, again follow the install directions, run fah4, and configure it but this time leave the machine id at it's default value of 1

This will create a new Folding@home folder in your Library folder so you'll have the Folding@home1 folder that you made earlier plus this brand new folder as well.

5. move the desktop copy of fah4 to Folding@home. Not Folding@home1, as there is already an fah4 in there!

6. trash the download disk image

To get them going, you have to use terminal because you MUST invoke them with the -local flag, otherwise they get very confused. -local forces each instance to work using information in the folder in which the application resides... without that switch, the app will wander all over the place for operational data and get screwed up and not work.

So, from terminal:

1. cd /Users/yourUserName/Library/Folding@home

step 1 is mandatory, or fah will get confused

2. ./fah4 -local -forceasm > /dev/null &

(the 'dot' is important, don't forget it!) This actually launches the folding application, sends its output to a null device, and the ampersand "backgrounds" the application so it won't quit when you shut down the terminal window. You should see a number pop onto the terminal screen, this is the process id. If you launch process viewer (applications/utilities), you should see two apps, fah4 and one of 3 cores (fahCore_ca, fahCore_65, fahCore_78) maxing out the cpu.

To get the second proc busy,

1. cd /Users/yourUserName/Library/Folding@home1
2. ./fah4 -local -forceasm > /dev/null &

now, process viewer should show two fah4s and two cores running.

You can close terminal now if you wish, or just hide it to the dock.

To make both processes go away in one swell foop, type the following into terminal:

killall fah4

This forces all instances of fah4 to stop (you don't lose any work). To restart them, you have to go through the terminal stuff. I'm sure mc68k's scripts will setup the start, stop, work and other shortcuts, but this should get you by in the meantime.

Congrats Team Macrumors on your soon to be slaughtered Knights who say Ni?

(what the heck is that?)

We over at Team Mac OS X are ready to slaughter Silent PC Review and they know we are coming and trying their best to stop it.

We may never catch up to your team, but it's nice to have a sister team in the top #30.

The more Mac Teams near the top the better, I say.

You guys really have done a wonderful job, we Mac teams may never make the top slot that's overwhelmed with Windroids, but we do our part and

REFUSE TO BE FORGOTTEN!


Let's see who beats their competitor first!

US or YOU!

That would be US :D

We'll pass them tonight or early tomorrow morning.

According to the extreme stats you won't be passing Silent PC till next month....and you'll pass AOA first anyway.

Good luck and thanks for covering our back.

It is a reference to the movie "Monty Python and the Holy Grail". It is a great movie.:)

[Sailfish]

Holy COW!

I just posted and checked the stats,

YOU JUST BLEW THEM AWAY!!!!

Friday 6:10 PM EST


Congradulations!!

Hope you guys take down a few more and we can have sloppy second's.

Way to go Team Mac Rumours!

[MrMacMan]

Hehe, yes congrads indeed.

Cheers all around!

Huzzah!

Poistion 19 is OURS.

[Sir Fart]

We over at Team Mac OS X

Who are THESE guys ?

Oh yea, just another Mac team that we slaughtered a while back :rolleyes: .

We'll be back :p ! Congrats on the passing, enjoy it while you can . Ni !

P.S. And get some friggin' piccies on this board. It bores me to tears to visit here :mad: . The Knights Who Say Ni are mentally challenged, we need piccies with bright colors to amuse us :D . I would hope a Mac could handle more than gray-scale by now ?

[Powerbook G5]

I still don't get this, you can easily post pics to these boards... :confused:

I takes someone with an IQ surpassing that of a coconut-laden swallow to be able to post images. Sorry you all don't seem to qualify.

:rolleyes:

As we have found in the past with your team, the general population doesn't seem to truly understand how your folks in charge choose to treat its visitors( you lock our threads, you don't allow us to post pics etc.) That's why we had one of your ex members defect to us ?!

You're wrong, WE CAN'T post pics. Why ? Dunno, ask your mods.

It's easy, right ? Just hit the image button, copy in the http stuff, etc. ). Wrong ! We aren't allowed to do so but your mods don't have the courage to step out and explain why to its members :rolleyes: . They love the power and secrecy. Not true at our humble abode, all are treated equally and visitors are welcomed. That's why I/we (essentially) stopped visiting here, we dislike hypocrisy. I wouldn't last a day on this team.

If I'm wrong about this please tell me, but KWSN performs innumerable visitations upon other teams, we know how to post a piccie . We're not the sharpest crayons in the box but we're not THAT dumb. Well, ok, some of us are :( . But I digress.

No animosity meant to the majority of you, but I Fart in the General direction of your moderators and admins :p . Hold some elections and the boot the lot of them I say :D !

[Mr. Anderson]

Personally I don't know why you have problems - really, no joke here.

You'll need to talk to arn about the problem...but it will be a moot point soon enough. We're getting a forum upgrade soon.

D

[winky!]

Can I post an image?

[Rower_CPU]

Mr. Flatulence-

There is nothing hypocritical, devious or punitive about the issues you've encountered on our forums. One thread was closed because it entered the realm of a flamefest and random off-topicness, something we discourage here.

As winky! has shown, inline images are disabled in the Distributed Computing forum, but attached images work fine.

[Tiauguinho]

So good!!! We are on the 19th place! Hurray!!! Good job guys! Those stinking tin cans got what they deserved! :D

[MrMacMan]

Why is the image code off?

Bah.

I never knew that...


Well if you really want to add an image you can 'attack file' and stuff...

http://www.stanford.edu/group/pandegroup/folding/FAHlogoML.jpg

You can't post images directly but can link to them.

Who cares?


You are behind us.

Prepare for the other teams, because you are not passins us again.
