4th place? Oh noes!
I don't know, but according to WCG site they only have 19 current members.
-edit- After a little bit of research, it seems that Nike headquarters is in The Netherlands. Makecureshappen, the highest contributing member of that team, is from the Netherlands according to the WCG site. Their motto is "Just do it, make cures happen." So I'm gonna go ahead and leap to the conclusion that Nike computers are all crunching under that user name. http://www.nikebiz.com/responsibilit...ter_world.html About halfway down the page it has some info about make cures happen.

Very nice, especially a company using lots of their computers doing WCG.
Wow, that's really cool. I make it a point to buy New Balance because they assemble shoes in the USA, (and I've been disappointed by several pairs of Nikes in the past) but I give them kudos for this. Maybe I'll try to buy Nike in other products besides shoes.

Crunching to Crush Cancer
Somebody, Stop Me!
Damn, ive been so busy at work i did not even realize we hit purple and that we got the x-mas challenge figured out. Why didn't anyone tell me
I was going to run my new 920 on F@H, but I will now add this to the team. Were we supposed to do anything different or was our team signed up as a whole?

Sorry, I didn't produce much today
Anyone know if screensavers hinder crunching at all?..

Will the software run faster if I do not run the screen saver?
Yes. The screen savers divert your computer resources to motion and graphic processing. This is not just for the World Community Grid's screen savers, but for most screen savers.

I run the XP My Pictures slideshow and didn't notice enough of a drop to worry about. Yes, I know I have windows 7, but I like XP's slideshow better so I keep a copy of it to put on my Win7 PC

What's so great about it? Anyone know how to delete 7 wallpapers and some of the catagories, it would be tidier to just have the ones i want to use to create a slideshow...........

I'll take some of the blame. I had to set my i7 at 60% usage because it was overheating. I'm hoping to get a better CPU cooler (either Megatron or Noctua D14).

I had thought with the northern hemisphere in winter our numbers would be up and we might start to see purple on a regular basis but it looks like we are backsliding our way into the red again.
I can only squeeze out a couple more MHz but I'll do what I can.
I haven't changed a thing here, so it isn't me
