Time for a new FreeRepublic folding@home thread.
Our FreeRepublic team of 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 188th place (with 940 CPUs - 15,725 completed Work Units and 2,330,000 points)
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)
They have an easy life...some web browsing, a little e-mail.
Just noticed, but I like it! I don't mind being blue if the DU's are pretty in pink.
They were red, but they're fading. Pink suits them well.
Welcome Sir!
I C we're a threat to like 5 teams now one being the czech repub.
Kool the free republic a threat to the ukrain and czech repub.
In one month, (and a short one, at that), we've scored more points, than the previous 3 months combined.
In 3 days, we've logged more points, than the entire month of december.
In 6 hours, we've exceeded the total points for the entire month of November.
The goal for March... a 2 million point month. Not impossible, as we're on track for a 1.75 million point month already, we just need to keep ahead of the trend line. That would put us up around #125 or so.... and about a year ahead of the DU team... :)
A quick check, even team #52 has us on their threat list... and all but about 3 teams, between #52 and where we are now...
TSC! Russia is on the same fast track as us.
9PM update - 10,163 points (51,663 today with 1 update left)
Is it my monitor or did you change DU to PINK? LOL
We had more than 60,000 points yesterday (60,686 to be exact).
We've done well so far today:
3am update - 7,246 points
6am update - 7,006 points
9am update - 6,656 points

12PM update - 9,349 massive points
I think it is very appropriate.
Neither of my machines will score today....but tomorrow they should both pitch in.
...and yes, I made the DUmpers pink.
We moved up another spot with the 6PM update (of 11,599 points)!

I wish they had a little more fighting spirit, but they seem to be typical lefties - all bark, no bite. They need somebody else to carry the folding load.
It looks like we may have our first 70,000 point day!
I'm a little behind schedule because someone for some reason shut down InCrease on Friday, so I lost the whole weekend. My 400-pointer should wrap up tomorrow now, and I have a 150-pointer that will be done very early tomorrow morning.
The first thousand points took forever, now I can easily see myself with 10,000!
