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.

If the Panthers win, I'll donate one folding cycle in your name. If the Seahawks win, you donate one cycle to me.

You're on.

(Howerver, I have to warn you that if I lose it'll probably take a week for my PC to cough up the WU.)

I'll let you know after the games today...Assuming both the 'Hawks and the Steelers make it to the Super Bowl, I'll bet you a WU that the 'Hawks win the big one. But to get there, we gotta get rid of the pantie waist Panthers. (uhoooo, serious smacktalk!)

I'm pullin' for the Steelers as well. They are my 2nd favorite team.

I'll make the same one WU bet with you if the Panthers and the Steelers end-up in Detroit.

If we're doing this for the Gipper, we need a western theme:

Foldin', foldin', foldin',
Keep those proteins foldin',
Our CPU's are smokin',
Rawhide!

OK, I promise I'll stop now...

It's just so confusing, I still see 400 when I right-click on my red gear on my deskdop and choose 'Team Statistics'

Anyway, we still rule! (And DUmmies still drool...)

Agreed-- It's very confusing. One page says this, one page says that, and a 3rd one says something else. Keeps it interesting, I guess. Yes, DUmmies drool.

I just finished my work unit after more than 5 days. We have a lightening storm moving in. I'm gonna have to turn everything off till it passes. I hope by the time I get back my numbers go up.

Question? It's showing me on my 2nd wu. I'm on my 16th, is there a problem?

We're closing out a great week-- 204,000+ for the week, three days of more than 30,00 pts./day. We need to be careful, though. The DUmmies are hot on our trail. /s
