Hmmm... if we knew about the aliens we were spying on, we wouldn't need SETI! :p
 
what are you talking about? seti isnt trying to find aliens. its trying to spy on them. how do you think we got zelcro? where do you think Thermus aquaticus came from?

if you think zlecro was invented here on earth when someone took a good hard look at those burs that stick to your socks then you are mistaken. and if you think T. aq came from hot springs then you have been fooled. really now.

[is he kidding? i dont know. stupid lemon]

It started by buffsldr when we cracked the top 100. That was when our team was smaller. Since then we've gained a lot of new members and have climbed to a position to overtake the mothership. As threads most often do, this one has gone in a different direction.

Good work team. A special thanks to all the new members. :)
 
Here is a link to a daily updated page on Stanford's current projects. It tells you the projects' number, WU, name, #atoms, deadlines, credit, and description. A must for any hardcore folder. All I ever get are proteinA's on the macs— maybe Stanford knows something we already do. :)

I wasn't going to post the link, but since AL expressed interest, here you are.
 
I joined the folding last week and have a question about WU's. My computer crashed and when I restarted it the Folding program downloaded a new WU, but marked the old one as completed on my computer. Now my computer shows 2 more WU's than what's on the website. Is there something I can do to change this? Not that it's that important, but it just seems odd.

The computer is WXPPro. I'll add my mac when I switch to OS X.

:confused:
 
HEHEHEHE!!!

One more proteinAg29a done! More points to our team!!! Received ProteinA now... lets do some more folding!!!!

Another few places and we'll have Apple! The teams seem to come in clumps. A big pause and then we're like Anakin in a pod race. The teams will start spacing out pretty soon, then we'll have to wait ~1 week to move anywhere.

I think it is pretty safe to say that even with the brilliant work you and Rower have been doing we will never have the number 1 slot. :)

Number 2, however, is achievable in the extra long term.

I might go back to school so I can set up a few folding labs
:)

If they made a OS 9 client, we'd be way up there with another ~40 macs. I think a lot of other labs are still running 9 for compat reasons and Stanford is losing out beacuse of this.

I think in the long term we could be in the top 30, but we'd have to get more members beacuse school starts in the fall and our labs get used. Maybe just screensavers…

The folding turnout recently has made me very hapy. :) Keep up the excellent work.

I know what you mean, while I am not talking lab size, I have 7 machine here that I can process on (the others are laptops that get moved around and I have not got access to) the only problem is that only 3 machines are on OS X. Lucky for me, one is a DP 500 so I have 4 processers but that is SO far below max ability of the office.
 
Our ascent is delayed…waxing the lab floors tonight…all computers must be off…so I'll just have ~10 folding here.
 
check this out, we slowed down a little:

The lab is up again…we should be passing them tonight, but hopefully sooner. My DP Gig has two more coming by this afternoon.

Waxing the floors couldn't have come at a more worse time. :(
 
We done it!

7.00 GMT ... 62nd place and we've passed big brother!!

Great start for 4th July celebrations over in the US eh?!
