OK, new thread for the next week.
First, a big shout out to the SETI and BOINC 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 384 processors and 192 user names. We have a number of new users in the team, with nearly a dozen folders now from GetLoaded.com all popping onto the hit list this week.
Special mention to Klutz Dohanger, who has quietly volunteered 80 systems to fold. That is 20% of all of the Free Republic Folders systems actively engaged in research. He is on a pace to pop 100,000 points personally before the end of January.
Malsua, uriah, Ken in Texas and Andrewksu are solidly in the top 10. Malsua is continuing to add (fast) systems and is now the number two folder on the team. Andrewksu will be the next member to hit 10,000 points. Great job!

Thanks again to all that are helping us advance science and promote the peaceful use of computers.
Extreme Overclockers Stats for Free Republic
I'm still scratchin' my head over it.
A re-boot is a re-boot, regardless of which way you do it... hit the restart button, ctrl-alt-delete, or zing the power button... but I guess the lawyers might argue that a power cycle = a hard restart. :)
I'm waiting to see... "It cleans your "cash" out."
:O)

no, computer stores do that to some of our more zealous homebuilders that have a need for speed.
btw guys.. have I mentioned lately how sweet this Lacie 1TB Firewire external is?
.... that clicking noise you just heard, was a half dozen or so thoroughly addicted computer geeks, checking NewEgg, to see if the price has come down a buck or two... :)
Just an observation. I've noticed that the wu's post well before the points do.
:O)

Craigslist is the spawn of Satan I tell you. I'm thinking of a 1.8 ghz box, hdd, with xp for $150 smackers......helpppppppppme
I've got one experimental box going... I'll let you know if it completes a successful WU. It's 23% into a 120 pointer.
It's a laptop, that boots off an external CD with BartPE and the gui version installed as the only startup program, and does it's diskwrites to the shared external 1TB drive via USB
Said laptop is a Gateway Solo, 766mhz PIII, no hard drive, no CD-rom, no floppy, no battery, that I picked up for $3 at America's Thrift Store. It's got a cracked case, and what looks like a footprint in the LCD panel, but if it folds successfully, we can cheap this out, like a tijuana bachelor party.
A lot depends on which category you're reading... :) In my case, the wife would INSIST, that I keep to the used computer parts forums, instead of trying to find that girl in the red dress standing outside of Victoria's secret last wednesday... scroll quick... she's coming... ...nothing honey... I said Fred's Less a victorian, secretly... *whap* nevermind....
1 user over 8000 points for a day. Is that the Borg cube?
Active CPUs within 50 days: 421
Team Id 36120
Grand Score 498353 (certificate)
Work Unit Count 4153 (certificate)
Team Ranking (incl. aggregate) 567 of 42151
Any linux geeks using http://overclockix.octeams.com/ as a third party installer?
The first WU assigned to me was huge and took a week or more to complete. It paid off 691 points but after that I have been assigned smaller WUs that complete in a day or so.
This is an invite to join the team.
Hey, Tex...I had a 182-pointer that finished yesterday...and it's still not showing up in my stats. The first three I did showed up right away.
Is there something I should do?
My display screen shows "Finished WUs: 4" but the team stats only show me at 3.
Pls advise. Thanks!!
Why not run it as a service? It'll start up regardless of who's logged in, or even if nobody's logged in at all.
Note that if you go into the advanced configuration in console mode, you can set the advanced methods option to "yes". This allows your computer to accept beta-test projects that do not appear in the project summary, and which are awarded more points.
What does the shading refer to in the project summary?
FINALLY!
After a solid week of 36-48 pointers on my lappy (the only fast box I have), I finally got my 2nd 600 pointer!
WooHoo, baby!
:O)

Hey, Klutz...I had a 182-pointer that finished yesterday...and it's still not showing up in my stats. The first three I did showed up right away. I am now a third-of-the-way through my 5th WU.
Is there something I should do?
My display screen shows "Finished WUs: 4" but the team stats only show me at 3.
Pls advise. Thanks!!
Can you cut and paste the part of the fahlog.txt that shows where it finished, and then what happened afterwards?
the log should be in your fah folder.
Sometimes, what happens is, a WU has an "early end", ie, something is corrupt in the checksums, or the data upload, and
someone at Stanford has to manually intervene, inspect it, and call it complete, or determine the percentage complete.
That's a safeguard built into the points crediting system, or else some unscrupulous folder would be garbling their workunits about 3 frames into a 600 pointer, and taking credit for a few minutes worth of work.
