The Free Republic Folders is a team contributing unused CPU cycles to medical research working together to find a cure for cancer and Alheimer's, and many other diseases.

This special milestone post is dedicated to Janice L., a friend from Ellis County TX who is in Houston receiving aggresive cancer treatment. She is 36 with a loving husband and 4 children, and covets your prayers.

Ask any and all questions of the regulars who post here about Folding@Home. We will all gather to help you understand and get started folding.

I have just about peaked with my folding in the group it appears.

Pinging all regular members of the F@H guild.

I will be off the air for the next 16 hours. Please help us answer questions and keep them CPUs folding!

Go Team 36120! Beat DU!!!

Prayers for Janice and a big ol' laundry bump.

Prayers for Janice, her husband, and her children. May God bless you and your family and guide your doctors to grant you healing.

We're going to be 299 in the next 12 hours or so, still have a few folks to shuffle past.

AMAZING work, we should settle into the top 100 even after many of Klutz's take the summer off.

The science is more important than the score though. My father passed away on Father's day 2005 after suffering strokes and other degenerative brain disease. Maybe this little bit of effort will help someone down the road avoid that bit of misery.

Congratulations FReepers!

Man, I gotta find a way to get another machine going. (tired of being stuck in the 70's)

WTB----More processors!!!

Every week I donate a CPU to a deserving folder. What ever protein I am working on they get the points.

This weeks winner is RetroSexual. Great home page. Interesting name. No points in a week. Hey! Wake those computers up and get 'em working!

I'm going down the rankings like a drunk falling down a long flight of stairs.

[dfwddr]

Four days ago, we broke 1,000,000 points. In six days, we'll be ahead of DU by 1,000,000 points.

They've got us right where they want us ..... LOL

[Egon]

Wow newbie!...your 5 CPUs are decimating the field and you are climbing the charts like Kennedy trying to get a bottle from the top shelf.

I feel you breathin' down my neck and you will overtake me soon, but there is no much I can do about it. The wife unit won't let me mortgage the house to buy another folding rig. Fold on!

In case anyone was wondering why QMD WU have gone away…for a while.

"We are in the process of building new QMD projects. In order to do so, we need to complete our analysis of the existing QMD data -- the current QMD projects have gone quite a long time and built up a very nice data set -- so we have stopped assigning new QMD's as we analyze the existing data set. These projects have been running for almost 1 year, so we have a huge set to examine!

We expect the analysis to take at least a few weeks (and potentially longer, depending on what we find). The upshot will be that we will be moving to second stage QMD WU's, which is very exciting to us.

Thanks to all who have contributed on QMD projects and we'll make an announcement on new QMD projects once we're further along."
