What's up with the DUmmies? I just went over to catch up on their folding thread, and not only are there no posts since 21May, but they have closed the thread, with no links to a new one. Seems their sail has a big hole in it, and they've only been on this journey for 5 months. Did they expect to overtake us AND cure Alzheimer's all within 5 months? Just under half a year may symbolize a long term commitment to the DUmmies, but it's going to take a bit longer than that. I also just noticed almost 25% of their top 100 are no longer folding. It really must sux to have such a short-term mindset that you can't stick with something for six months. Of course, in their minds, all we really have to do is to throw some money at it, and the problem will go away.

We should overtake Team MacCentral.com (currently ahead by 3,561 points) with the next update.

Keep folding!

DUmmies are more like:

...all we really have to do is to throw some of YOUR money at it, and the problem will go away.

I don't know, those losers gave up a lot easier and earlier then I expected. I am surprised that they couldn't do any better for such a good cause. I originally graphed DU's progress in red, and then switched to pink as they started fading. I am considering not tracking their progress at all since they are truly irrelevant at this point.

Typical DUmmie, when the going gets tough....retreat and pull-out! There's probably a post from Murtha somewhere on DU telling them that the Folding battle against Cancer and Alzheimer is lost, so bring your over extended CPU's home now!
