you'll be back up there don't worry

plus, you are still in the top 25% of the members.

Nah, with all of these new members I will be decreasing quite significantly.

The only thing my iMac might pass is users who haven't folded in atleast a month.

So yes, my iMac will PWN All users who stoped folding!!!

W00t!

edit: we all know ranking doesn't matter, I just really wanted to show that I was helping the team, but I can't stay competitive.

 

[eyelikeart]

does it really matter what your ranking is though?

I thought the point was working as a team to increase in total points...together?

competition is VERY good for the team, it makes everyone work harder.

Yes, for Team MacRumors.



I like to fold. It makes me happy to see the frame numbers climb and climb...

No, I'd rather look for aliens.

Yeah its not like like it SETI could take millions of years to find a possible result, and by then the civilization would take *lightyears* to get to.

yes, for MacRumors - I started a few weeks ago and just finished my second work unit. Now if only I can figure out how to put folding on some relatively unused computers here at work and set it up to start automatically at startup. . .

If its a mac look at the FAQ to find out about the scripts that will make your mac ALWAYS fold when started up. If its a PC just install the default client

 

[phrancpharmD]

Thanks for the tip. I'm currently folding on my iBook, but I have the "opportunity" to add some Windows computers at work into the mix. I suppose the graphic client is the way to go to keep it as unobtrusive as possible?

 

[MacBandit]

Okay here's a question. I just upgraded to Panther. Which I just have to say is friggin fantastic. Well I used the script to reinstall folding on my machine. With Panther I can't check my progress anymore by typing 'Work' into the terminal. What's the new commands or what has changed?

 

[Vlade]

look at the Folding at home log, it should be in a folder called F@H1 in your home folder

Yeah, I realize I can do that but for one it's not as convenient even if I put the alias in the dock. The second problem is I can't stop folding if I chose to as I could before. None of the commands work.

 

[MacBandit]

Okay time for me to eat my foot. I have been complaining in this thread about the script commands not working instead of searching MacRumors for an answer. It's such a newbie mistake I think I may have to swallow past my foot right up to my knee.

If anyone else hasn't found the answer yet it's in this thread.

I'm all in...

I've thrown a few machines into the folding pot:

300 G3/192 (yeah, it's slow, but it works...)
dual 450 G4/640
667 tibook/512
800 tibook/512
1.6Ghz P4/640

most of them were sitting around all day anyway, so I figure I could use them for this without any harm done. Two of them were doing seti, but that seems a little less important to me.

All are working for team 3446 (macrumors).

 

[MrMacMan]

Mudbug -- Wow thats a nice group of machines there.

Keep it up!

Good Job everyone!

I wish I could keep folding, but I need the ability to watch the cycles on my processors to judge DSP plugins. When I can see how hard I'm stressing my procs I can more accurately judge how many more effects are available. Having both procs operate at 100% makes it impossible to tell until my comp chokes.

Your job is the most important thing here. Do what you must.

That's probably the best thing to do but.... You can use Apples Activity Monitor in 10.3 and all the programs that have been niced have a color of blue. All the active processes you are currently running are green and red is the system utilization.

I've got my Dual/1.42 both processors going. I also have a eMac I have hijacked and a 17" Powerbook. I'll probably hijack more over time. Also my wife has a 15" Powerbook on order which I'll also add to the folding crew. All in all though at the moment my Dual/1.42 is outputting about 6 times the units that the 17" and eMac are processing.
