I may be was down the list but at least I'm YELLOW... (come on GREEN)
Yellow is better than green! You mean come on orange!

You gave me whiplash when you passed me in the standings. One day it was "Cosine is a threat", the next day it was "never mind".

Fold on!

My brief sojourn into [color=green]Green[/color]

The clouds parted, the planets aligned, and somehow my PCs completed work units at the right time to put me over 500 points/week for the first time. In honor of this occasion, I've composed some folding haiku for your non-enjoyment. Here goes: Keeping them folding It ain't easy being green That's wh...

shortened IDE/floppy cables

I first do a rounding operation, then bundle the slack with a twist tie. To round your IDE cable, first separate the cable into groups of 4-6 wires. I pry the groups apart with my fingernails. Some guides suggest using an exacto knife, but I've had much better results tearing the groups apart with m...

Folding Node price/performance

Are you guys suggesting that each node be caseless? Although it wouldn't be too hard to make a simple case out of a cardboard box and duct tape, (gotta love that duct tape) :), I think it might be better to put the stuff in a case. Now, if I was to share two nodes across one power supply, I might tr...

Folding Farm - cost per node

In the investigation of creating a folding farm, I'm trying to figure out what a good cost per node should be. Obviously, the optimal cost is zero, which can be accomplished by borging other people's computers, :twisted: but I'm interested in cobbling together old parts and folding on them, partiall...

Outside of strong driver support, why nvidia (not that I'm biased, I have been a shareholder since 1998)? I mean, they design great chips, but for the low-end, I went with the Radeon 9200 (especially since Catalyst 3.6 is fine in general). You may also want to look into the Radeon 9200 cards...Just...

To tell you the truth, I don't have a clue what you're talking about. :) That is normal :) I have a feeling you have accidentely mixed up Folding@home with Distributed Folding , since that does use a handle.. :) We're doing Folding@Home, you can download the client here . I thought those were one a...

I'd like to fold with you guys

I've got an old K6-2/400 that was in my attic. I've now got the command line client running on it. My handle and my username are two different things. It looks like work units submitted from the command line client and the screen saver submit under the handle (the non-changeable 8-character name). T...

Pyramid V fan controller

I just got one this week. It works just fine. It lowers the sound on my machine from a loud roar to a dull roar. :) Pros: 1) Neat-o glowing LED in the color of your choice! 2) Doesn't take up a 5 1/4" bay. 3) Inexpensive 4) Reversible and safe Cons: 1) I don't have a good place to stick the unit (An...
