Welcome to the new FreeRepublic folding@home thread. The previous thread has gotten too large, so we move on to yet another.

While this folding@home team is not officially sanctioned by Free Republic, it's 250+ members comprised primarily of Free Republic members in good standing have banded together to donate their excess CPU cycles to a worthy cause. Via distributed computing, millions of computers around the world, contribute directly to scientific research, in the quest for a greater understanding of diseases such as Alzheimer's, Cancer, and Mad Cow (BSE).

Currently, the team is in 241st place, having moved up from 1200th place, a week earlier, and is now in the top 100 teams, for daily contributions.

This is an entirely voluntary program, and if you want to learn more, please see the links posted below (or read one of the previous 8 folding threads)

Woo Hoo... everyone wave at Microsoft, we just passed them in the 6pm update.

[RebelTex]

"sorry guys. Next month, I'll really try harder."

ROTFLOL

It's about time!  ^{(just kidding)}

We need to change your name to Superman or SuperFolder, or King (Folder) Kong, lol.

Too bad the Olympics don't give a  for folding - you'd be an automatic winner.

Passing Microsoft is a huge milestone.

When you do, lets use the updated "list of links", instead of the one that's been used up to now.

Formatting is much better, and takes up less room.

I hear the sound of crying behind us. Lolol, poor babies---not!

We should break the 2,000,000 point mark in two days. We will be 1,500,000 points ahead of the DUmp in 5 days.

If I had seen that two months ago, that would have been my Username... :) I love ...(.Y...... *smack* *slap* *bang* *crash*

oops, Wife caught me again. Sorry about that.

On second thought, I'll just keep my username, the way it is.

I'm not sure we want to just pass by this team... I think we should reach out to them. Maybe give them a helping hand, or something. I mean, what if they need our support ?

[soccer_maniac]

[dfwddr]

Microsoft ???? Microsoft who ?

[Klutz Dohanger]

actually, 71,232 points away, as of the 7pm Stanford update.

After that, we can easily anticipate a million per month.

Woo Hoo.....

[soccer_maniac]

It takes about 5.7 million points to get into the Top100

At this rate, that's about 4 months worth of points for our team.

Seize the moment, so to speak.....

[soccer_maniac]

Can someone save the image that shows us before Microsoft in the rankings?

[Malsua]

I'm going to add in some more this coming week. Million a month seems like a worthy goal.

[Ethan_Allen1777]

A big team like that needs all the support they can get!

[Klutz Dohanger]

Yeah, but two months ago, just getting into the top 1000 was like, something that we can do, in a month or two, and a major milestone was reaching 100 CPU's, and 100,000 points.

With the team growth, 2, 2.5 million points per month, is not unrealistic.

Don't settle for anything less, than #3, right behind Team Default, and Team Google.
