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 550 processors and 232 user names. We have a number of new users in the team, with over a 40 computers now from GetLoaded.com, a trucking support website, all contributing while their owners ply our freeways keeping the nation moving.

New members of the week include:

Mike_Medved (Thank you very much for your support)
Zach_Erskine
Route66
OldsDon'tFloat (who is this!? - can't link to a FR screen name. Must be from MA)
glockrocks
Mrs_1066AD (thanks for the family involvement)
Thom_Pain
Dplowdude
Egon
holly_go_rightly
c505ber
Derllak (award for the fastest new folder, streaking up the boards)(Fastest Folding Streaker Award?)

Even more impressive, our team now boasts 145 members who have folded at least 1,000 points. That is more than the entire number of folders for our erstwhile left-wing environazi competitors!

On the global front, Free Republic Folders is now listed at # 326. We will be in the Top 300 on Wednesday!

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 1,000,000 points so far and have folded over 8,030 WU. We will soon 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.

I went through the menus and didn't spot the one on batch processing.

That could be very useful if you think you will be unable to connect to the internet for some reason.

Thanks

New thread celebrating breaking into the Top 300 today.

Hi, joined a couple days ago. Computer is still chugging away at first WU and will finish today. Do we have to finish a WU to make the team list?

[texas booster]

I see the points posted about a day after it finishes. Occasionally the folding data is corrupt and doesn't post. :(

[DocRock]

"Do we have to finish a WU to make the team list?"

Yes. The WU must complete, upload to Stanford and be accepted before your name will appear on the list. The list is updated hourly I believe. The Extreme Overclocker's list is updated every three hours I believe, so there is a lag between your scores between postings.

OK, you sold me. So... they aren't going to take my financial information, monitor my conversations, or send Agent Smith after me?
