OK, new thread for the next week.
First, a big shout out to the SETI 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 104 processors and 76 users. We have a number of new users in the team, with Clara Lou, fzx12345, SamfromLivingston, brityank, manwiththehands and Tami all popping onto the hit list this week.
Malsua, uriah and Ken in Texas are solidly in the top 10. Malsua is continuing to add systems and now accounts for 10% of the FR total. Great job!
Free Republic Folding@Home Stats Page
On the global front, Free Republic Folders is now listed at # 1196. We are poised to overtake (today):
carletonu (maybe in MN?)
Helms-Deep
2*ian
Dynadues
Soluchis
Greece and soon the
University of Pennsylvania!
We were passed by one team, SISD. My guess is that this team really is the computers of an Independent School District that were all "volunteered" to fold over the holidays. They are producing points at a rate of 37,000 points per day. As we gain members from the 100,000 FReepers that visit JimRob's place I expect that we will have a much greater long term growth than them.
Don't give them any points whatsoever.
It's better they stay way in the back :)
That would be awesome. It's up to "texas booster" to try to find his login info and make the change - he started the team more than a year ago, so it may not work

This could go on....
JOIN_FREEREPUBLIC_TODAY is perfect!
Or... FREEREPUBLIC_TEAM_36120_RULES...
aww... I'd use a good one to get about 3 WU's posted, and then shift over to an evergreen 486 running the deadlineless to keep it active...
Yep, those look fine.

LOL!

why_does_FREEREPUBLIC_beat us_at_everything
We just broke 1100... and still climbing.
Yippe, woohoo!!! ALL YOUR POINTS R BELONG TO US!
Geez, I was so, so, so MOTIVATED today when i saw my points and standing. hahaha (I'm laughing AT myself, not with myself.LOL)
if I sacrificed a 'puter, with a suitably irritating user name, should I use it to join their team, as a motivational tool? :)
ONLY if you make sure they know it's a Freeper AND you rub it in...real good.
...and thanks for the puter help.
:O)

We'll get members names IMPEACHBUSH or whatnot
We're cruisin now! I added 3 more machines today, but with all the new folks coming on and your significant boost, my 3 are not going to add up to much. They'll NEVER catch us. They all probably have old donated computers since most of 'em don't have jobs.
My Sager, an 8790, finished a 121 point, 1000wu in way less than half the time of my dual cpu amd 2800!
3.4 p4 ht
1GB ram
2 7200 rpm raid-mirrored hd...but the best feature is the TV! hehehe
yaddah, yaddah, yaddah...
I tried to build a laptop once, but I couldn't find a box big enough to put the monitor in!
Thanks for the kind words...and the bump.
:O)

Interesting...looking at the Dean for America team, they have two active CPUs. We're gonna be a blur:). They're sitting at 1028. Safely behind us inside of the next 10 hours or so.
No prob. I am just finding out that NVidia doesn't have an updated driver for me...they're directing me to Dell...who directs me to NVidia....

Some losers never give up. It was all over after the Yeeaarrgghh! :)
I sorta read through your posts and replies, it's unclear to me if you got the latest detonator drivers and tried them. I know you said you must delete the old ones(which suggests you did, just being thorough here). Did you try that and it didn't work?

By this time tomorrow, I should have 502 points up.
KD, now I see what you meant. The 500 wu I'm still working on is worth 186 points, that's 65 more than the 1000 wu I finished already.
:O)

Yeah, you're right... but if we DO start getting weird screen names like that, I will... because they have to register their points on OUR TEAM, to make their point... :)
