OK, new thread to celebrate reaching a major milestone! Within a few hours Team FreeRepublic will be in the Top1000!!!!
We should pass Dean for America, around noon tommorrow. Other liberal teams want to challenge us (DUmmies and Kos) but we're humiliating them beyond description.
Do you see a little red gear/flower in your icon tray, next to the clock? Right click on it, and select "Configure". Then click on the "User" tab in the window that pops up. You should see an entry for the team member. Type in 36120, hit OK, and you're good to go.
Once you've changed it, you should be able to confirm your team membership by right clicking on the icon again, going to Status->Team Statistics.
I am at 0 of 500 frames complete. The first frame is due to be complete in about 15 minutes, the Work Unit End is estimated at 10 days, 9 hours.
What does all that mean?
Hrmmm. Something is awry if you have to do that. What platform are you running?
That should be 2 boxes - the third was added recently...
I dropped in long enough to change the logo. When I first put a logo in, literally nothing would load for me except the crybaby. So, crybaby became our mascot for a while. It wasn't very professional but at least it wasn't boring.
Thanks one and all for the help in answering technical questions since I seldom can look at FR during the day. Please keep FReepmailing me and I'll answer while having dinner at midnight in front of Free Republic.
Off to bed!
The 500 frame jobs are pretty standard, it means that your 'puter is going to have to crunch through about 500,000 computations, at 10,000 computations per frame. The numbers are a little misleading, for the first frame or two. That sort of job, should be around 1-4 minutes per frame, and you should see the numbers stabilize after the 2nd or 3rd frame. I know, I freaked out, when my first job told me that I'd finish sometime in 2011...
If I understand correctly, and someone will no doubt jump in if not, workunits are broken up into "frames", which are basically like checkpoints - at the end of every frame it stops and saves its progress, and then continues on until it finishes all the frames and hence the whole unit. Once it runs through a couple of frames, it'll have a better idea of how long the whole unit will take - it's sort of guesstimating right now, so don't take that ten days as gospel just yet.
Crybaby served it's purpose... (ie, a ripple over at DU..), however, something seems to be broke with whatever you uploaded to replace it. It's a broken image link symbol, that takes you to freerepublic.com, but whatever image is supposed to be there, isn't.
Or is it just firefox?
I got it! Unfolding my first protein as we speak.
Thank you. It's nice to know that I actually spent money to get something I never use! ;-)
Never mind... just firefox. *slap me*
Have a nice one... and thanks for turning me on to this stuff!!
Again, I can change it - but I need ideas (or even better, post your recommended images)
Dang, we're smokin' now...
:O)
P
I have that at work, I try to keep it at work. I try to stay under the three box limit at home.
systematic-If the person is not a registered member on FR can they still be on the team?
This is just awesome, I had no Idea FR was involved with something like this.
I have read the posts and still have absolutely no idea what this thread is about but if you are kicking commie butt at DU I am behind you all the way!
How about just the FR eagle logo?
FYI
Have a GREAT NEW YEAR!
Yes, as long as they enter 36120 in for the team number. While Free Republic has a team, the competition, and the actual science, is hosted by Stanford University.
Yeah... good healthy competition, and for a worthwhile cause..
