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 512 processors and 220 user names. We have a number of new users in the team, with over a dozen folders now from GetLoaded.com all popping onto the hit list this week.
We now have ten members who have contributed at least 10,000 points each. Klutz Dohanger, Malsua, Ken in Texas, Andrewksu, LSimpson, kingu, Uriah, arderenne and rach_FR have all reached this milestone. Papasmurf and Senator Bedfellow will join them this next week. Great job!
Even more impressive, our team now boasts 132 members who have folded at least 1,000 points. That is more than the entire number of CPUs folding for our erstwhile left-wing environazi competitors!
Free Republic Folding@Home Stats Page
On the global front, Free Republic Folders is now listed at # 401. We will be in the Top 400 on Sunday!
As we continue to grow there are a number of milestones coming around the bend:
Top 300 by February
Top 250 by the end of the February
We have 800,000 points so far and have folded over 6,400 WU. We will reach an exalted mark of folding a million points per month, each and every month! Fantastic!
Thanks again to all that are helping us advance science and promote the peaceful use of computers.

Want to see why we fold?
Papasmurf: Think you don't make a difference?
I'll see if I can do some more diagnostics on the XP machine-- I'm suspecting some software conflict.
As for the NT machine, I'm running the process as an Admin, so permissions shouldn't be a problem. After reading the other blurb you found, though, I'm thinking I probably just won't run on this particular machine. It's a domain server, and I'd rather not spend a bunch of time reorganizing it.
In the meantime, some of the other, recently-added CPUs are starting to get WUs in, and I've moved from the bottom of the list. Life is good!
No errors. Thank you.
Thanks for the ping, and welcome to the Gipper's Team!

No worries, my friend - we handle the warp drive so you don't have to :)
Warp drive?
You told me to turn on the positronic hyperdrive ion emitters!

If only they knew that we get our dilithium crystals from Halliburton! shhhh....
You have your checkpointing interval set to less time that it takes to complete a frame. It isn't wrong to have it set up this way, but it explains the status output you are seeing.
For example, lets say that each frame takes 15 minutes, and you have your checkpointing interval set at 4 minutes or so. You would expect the FAH core to write 3 checkpointing files during each frame, then one set of local files at the end of each frame.
Whatever my checkpointing interval is set to, it did it without any help from me. My computer skills can fit in a thimble so I hope F@H is gentle when dealing with me.
It hasn't done that before and I was curious as to what it was doing. Thanks again.
You guys are revealing too much !!! Next time we discuss this, please use secret code vNina12.351. Thanks !!
Rank ~370 (depends on the site).
We're still accelerating. Freepers rock :).
At this rate we'll be in the top 300 in 9 days
Actually, once Klutz' new rigs kick in, we should get a jump :)
No wonder my machine is folding so slow. Here I thought it was the dread W32-trojan worm virus and all along it was you stealing my cycles, to use as a bribe redistribute to your voter base.
Heh. I do have yet another "thoroughbred" top end screamer coming online in a day or two when I put it together. I've noted that my top 2 machines are only 15% of my contributor cpus, but yield at around 30-40% of my WUs. I'm adding one more of those, so it should push me over a regular 2k/points a day. We're still moving up, but even without me or Klutz, we are still way, way kicking DU ass and moving on up.
Thanks for the links that you posted earlier. By following them, I found out that iMac G4s are very slow to process Tinker core WUs.
Question: I am going to have to turn in my current iBook for a new model on Thursday, which means I'll have to terminate F@H in the middle of this Tinker WU. Will I get partial credit?
I visited the DU thread earlier today. It is unbelievable that the twits are telling each other that "it's the quality of the folding that counts," as though somehow their folding is better than ours. Silly little people.
Of course. Liberals think anything they do is "enlightened" and anything a conservative does is "troglodyte" brain washing.
In other words, we're folding the stupid proteins, they're folding the educated ones. Whatever. I guess that I'm unenlightening 10-15 WUs a day :).
How odd. I've been playing around and investigating such a topic today. I've bookmarked a couple of sites on it. What are the odds...........
