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.

That is the rate of growth or decline.
It is the slope of the trend line from the graph above it.
If the value is positive, the trend slope is positive which means growth. Negative values mean declining production.
One tadpole is in the process of moving households.
One tadpole is in the process of upgrading computers.
One tadpole I haven't approached, yet.
Workin' it!
I think that he is charting the growth rate of each days point output as compared to the previous days' rate of growth.
Or he is really enjoying his beers ...
I still haven't figured out your double-encoded messages...
Does it require a keyboard that has a "dead-key" that allows the accenting of a character for foreign language support?
Hey...no fair! that class was 30 years ago and even then I sucked at figuring that stuff out. Now beers, I know.
Bump.
Show off ;-)
I have it running on W2K3 Enterprise clusters but I don't think I have it running on any W2K boxes. XP Home too.
Or he is really enjoying his beers ... Correct.
The cool part is...DU has gone flat.
*sigh* .... and now you wonder why some of us have gone bald. :)
*snicker* Sure enough. I looked on the sidebar and there it was. I clicked on it and saw thousands of post. Football must be very popular on FR. :-)
*aargh* Superbowl sunday is like bigger than christmas, and only one notch down from Mardi gras. The only thing worse than not watching the game, is forgetting your wedding anniversary.
And even then, you can always kiss and make up, but if you MISS the game, it's like OVER.... :)
Zeugma is currently #34, and is wondering where he will eventually end up ;-)
Dude, that's no real way to get ahead. Under the rules of obsessive folding, you must pester your spouse, siblings, parents and relatives to find unused CPUs. Badger your boss. Badger your workmates. Consider enrolling in a computer class at you local CC so you have access to the 'puter lab. Finally, consider a second on your home and read the newegg ads.
All my girl does is talk football.I asked why she liked watching the super bowl a couple of weeks ago. I asked her, didn't she find it boring? Well, you would have thought I had just suggested that one of my grandchildren(one of hers) had just been offered up for sacrifice. She answered, and in a tone I did not appreciate, "good Lord momma, are you telling me that if the Cincinnati Reds were in the world series, you wouldn't watch?" I think she mentioned the Reds on meanness. She knows how touchy I am that they haven't been in a World Series game since Moses parted the Red Sea.
I tried to watch football once. There was 5 minutes left on the clock, and I'll be darned if it didn't take over , I don't know, maybe 30 minutes to play that last 5 minutes.
Thanks for the alert to the new thread.
I fell from the mid 70s to the mid 90s :-(
I was out of town and a storm knocked out the power for a few minutes, but I didn't get back for 4 days - waaah.
I finally got the core to run as a service on my older system (running Linux - Mepis flavor). It now has an Amber protein worth 181 points - but it looks like it's going to take about 3.5 days to finish - uuugghh.
I don't know how you found me, but hey... we're all in this together. LOL!
