OK, new thread for the next week, now that Pittsburgh has another Super Bowl ring.

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 714 processors and 271 user names. We have a number of new users in the team, with over a 50 computers now from GetLoaded.com, a trucking support website, all contributing while their owners ply our freeways keeping the nation moving.

We now have 22 members who have contributed at least 10,000 points each. Greenbo, stylin19a, and smith288 are the latest to reach this milestone. Chesterbelloc and mediamole will join them this next week. Great job! Even dfwddr will make this mark one day ;`)

Even more impressive, our team now boasts 180 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!

Free Republic Folding@Home Stats Page

On the global front, Free Republic Folders is now listed at # 268. We will be in the Top 250 on Wednesday!

As we continue to grow there are a number of milestones coming around the bend:

Top 250 by February 10
Top 200 by the end of the February

We have 1,350,000 points so far and have folded over 10,000 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.

Totally off subject post but I thought that I'd probably get a good answer from this group.

I just started dabbling with CSS. I have a nice "template" all set up with colors, fonts etc. My question is this, how can I set up a menu of links as part of my stylesheet so that if I have to add links I will not have to update every page. Thanks.

Took me two weeks to figure out how to get a wireless router to run my laptop so I KNOW you ain't talkin' to me...hehe

The list was copied into FR. The links appear to be relative, so they're thinking the list is still in the same folder structure-- which, of course, it isn't.

You'll have to go here to the original list to have the links work correctly.

I'm certainly no expert on stylesheets, but you should be able to "import" your style sheet into whatever page you create.

So, if you create a page of links, and include a reference to your style sheet, it will inherit the colors, fonts, etc.

Hehe! You are silly! I had no trouble with a wireless router! All I did was let my neighbor set it up over at his house. It works perfectly over at my house. No problema! Apparently he has yet to figure out that passwords help with security. [I use my DSL, not his wireless.]

[houeto]

Now Clara Lou, what you just said confused the pea-tar out of me. That right there sounded like me saying:

Hehe! You are silly! I had no problem with a Porche rebuild. I just let my neighbor rebuild it at his house. Appaently he hasn't figured out that a truck bed helps with hauling loads. [I use my Ford pickup, not his Porche.]

[Clara Lou]

Hmmmm.... OK.

Sorry--I was attempting to make the hopefully humorous point that, instead of setting up your own wireless, all you need is a silly neighbor like mine. [Then I wanted to make clear that I don't use his wireless because my PC has its own DSL connection which is secure.]

Told y'all that I was dense.

Unless the DUmmies shift gears QUICK, they will be at the foot of the 'mountain' in exactly seven days. "Y'all hear that, you bunch of DUfusses? You have ONE week!"

Nuthin' like a little civil taunting to the brilliant mathematicians over there, huh?

[Clara Lou]

LOL! They are entertaining when things are slow.

Folding bump!

Should we start on FREEPer team on the World Community Grid too?

[soccer_maniac]

With 200 CPUs we'd be in the Top 25 on the Grid.

How long does it take for a work unit to download and start folding?

I'm on a cable internet connection.

How long does it take for a work unit to download and start folding?

about a minute +/- if I remember...see post #52 for some install tips. Is it working for you yet?

You should have a red flower on your lower right tool bar. Results for when you finish your first WU will take a day or two.

[Klutz Dohanger]

On a cable modem connection, it should only take a minute or so for the software to download the core, and the work.

From downloading the client, to crunching your first work unit, should take about 2 minutes.

After your first workunit is downloaded, and started, it may take anywhere from 10-60 minutes for it to adjust to your computer, and calculate the timing. ( ie, until it does, you'll get some weird results like "this workunit will take 11 years to complete :)...... )
