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?

What happened?

555 CPUs and Klutz' new guys have to kick in yet

[SC Swamp Fox]

we should have an updated graph posted every 2-3 days to show them how they fall behind more and more

Exactly, I have the raw data and it's easy to drop in each day's numbers and stretch the charts to show the new data.

I bet the won't hot-link from us again.

[papasmurf]

I've lost 3 wu's yesterday and today, about 700 points or so. I am as high as I can get, position wise, now. So, I'll just keep chuggin' along.

Been doin' some reading on a 2 diff Linux distro's, think I might throw one on my K6/400 lappy, couldn't do no worse. :)

:O)

3. the road to my house

4. my stock portfolio chart

5. all of the above

Take your pick, LOL.

DUmmies reached the 200 CPUs mark

Geez, I'm only up to #40 on our list, but if I was a DUmmie, I could be #8 - that would mean I would be ahead, right? (according to DUmmie logic in their bizarro world...)

I started adding systems to the group, each under their own name. I would probably have 60,000 points if I had just lumped all the systems together from the beginning.

I am impressed at how quickly DU has grown. They are actually adding systems at a faster rate than we are. Hey they are averaging 10,000 points per day already.

I am still amazed that their only point of reference is Free Republic. If they beat us then we make their whole season.

Meanwhile we focus on beating HardOCP.

[papasmurf]

Haha, that's about what Klutz and Malsua alone are doing. We've got some pretty heavy hitters, such as yourself, as well as more consistency in the rank and file folders. As our team is just a shade under a million now, I doubt they'll even be able to smell us fart for quite a few months.

Next month I should be able to put together 5-6 more, just need some misc. pieces. (big KVM mainly)


Fold on, brothers and sisters!


:O)

[papasmurf]

BTW, in a week, or less, we'll be in the top 200's. In a month, or less, 100's.

They can NEVER beat us. NEVER. That's not an option.

[texas booster]

If they beat us then we make their whole season.

I was thinking more about a football team that goes 0 for lots, but the coach keeps his job if they beat the big rival.

Kinda like Texas and OU, or A&M and Texas.

We want to win the National Championship.

[Marie Antoinette]

Oh yeah, we're still racing up in the ranks! I don't post often, but I always check the rankings. It's exciting in a geeky kinda way! LOL

[Klutz Dohanger]

DUmmies reached the 200 CPUs mark

No problem. I'll have that matched by sometime sunday

[Petronski]

Folder "craigon69" is about to top 10,000!


Any idea what the real screenname of this person is?

[Petronski]

Should have pinged you to my previous post.

You're about to top 10,000!
