wasnt there an article stating that d2ol is basically dead and that it is useless. I think folding is a much better distributed computing project then d2ol in terms of usefulness.

hmm ok..i'll join...how do i start? ^^
is it tricky to set up?

**DeltZ** · 06-20-2005, 01:49 PM

ok i've joined...anyway to like...minimize it to system tray?

**jason32287** · 06-20-2005, 02:36 PM

if you download the text console it gives you a option to run it in the background.

**pythagoras** · 06-20-2005, 02:48 PM

I take it you downloaded the console version?

If so the best way to minimise it is to use trayit:

http://www.teamcti.com/trayit/trayit.htm

run that program then a ctrl and click on minimise will send the app to the system tray.

Its much easier to just use the text version. It uses less resources and it has the feature build into it. Unless you like to watch the animation thingy.

**DeltZ** · 06-20-2005, 02:56 PM

how do you use switches? (dos nub)

**DeltZ** · 06-20-2005, 03:41 PM

I dont think its dead, but Free-DC thinks that they should focus on some other folding program. Our team is doing EXREMELY well, #3 in world. Just like u guys, we have about 260 members, and I think only100 fold. We are on our way to #1, and will soon be there, but the Dutch power cows wont give up without a fight.

Just jumped onboard folding. I used to do United Devices' grid.org folding for the cancer and anthrax stuff, but oh well. Here I'll help you guys out now! =)

Thanks dmo580 and welcome to the team

to use is more simple..but to configure the graphical client it´s more easy..justa install and done..almost.

I give in the way of 400+pts a day through another forum. Not only does folding help you test stability, it also may end up saving your life one day, or maybe the life of your kids, your parents, your whoever.

You gonna throw that chance away?

**ImportantAwareness89** · 06-25-2005, 07:58 PM

I installed F@H on my home computers and at work. That's 3 machines. LoL, I hope my parents don't mind and I can add another 2 systems =).

Feels weird folding for StanFUrd, but I guess since I'm saving lives I won't diss them this time around.

Welcome to the team dmo

I see your making a nice contribution already

Regards

**A Scream** · 06-28-2005, 03:16 PM

I'd fold if I was connected to the internet w/ my machine...

**sr4470** · 06-29-2005, 05:12 AM

I'm already folding for another team.

Perhaps i'll set the duron rig to fold for XS once i iron out the problems with it.

Allright I read all the posts and I agree this is a much better cause. I've been running seti@home for years and ET has yet to show up at my door (actually I was more interested in the distributed computing technology, I never though ET would show up). I was one of the top 50-60 producers in Canada for two years probably the biggest private (non commercial, non school, non team) producer in the country. Over the next week, I'll switch up to 20 Ghz of CPU to your team initially with more to follow as I get to it. Most of my systems are Opterons, some are Athlons, all but my own desktop system is a dually (hell that will change to a dually too as soon as I get a x2 chip). I use a SAN for everything but my private box and my laptop so adding extra boxes is pretty easy. I could care less about the power bill, I generate my own though the more systems I add the more of a cut I take in what I can sell back to the grid.

I'm actually trying to buy a blade farm off a company I know that is going broke. Does this product run on Unix (AIX or Solaris)? Some of the Sun boxes I have could potentially be helpful if so. And I've the got the use of an HP Superdome for a couple months while I do some high level database performace tuning - I only use it about 4 hours a day while I run tests the rest could be allocated until I'm done with it and send it back. It's configured with 32 Itanium CPU's. Any how, looks interesting and I'm willing to participate but the leaders should do more on the forumns to promote the cause, I found this thread through idle surfing (not a slam, just an observation).

to those who work hard on the team.

and a big

to anyone who would respond to this thread with a "I'm not doing it" response. Waste of bandwidth. If you wanna post that you're not helping then add a joke on the end to amuse us at least.
