    Cable company/FCC warning letter for "signal leak" Could it be related to torrents?

    I got a letter today from the cable company saying they detected a cable signal leak in my house and that if I don't schedule an appointment within 3 days to investigate they will cut off my service. Has anyone received one of these before? From what I gather, the cable company can detect when a...

    Have you ever been a folding "evangelist"?

    I'm sure the SMP client could significantly increase costs for a big university, but what about the good ole uniprocessor client? It uses far fewer resources and the impact on budgets should be minimal. I know it also doesn't get nearly as many points as the other clients, but that's ok...

    Have you ever been a folding "evangelist"?

    Just wondering if anyone has had luck convincing other people or companies to use the spare processing power of their PC's for folding? How did you do it? I've told a few relatives what a great cause it is and they just don't seem to be interested. I've also sent an email to a few PR departments...

    had to shut down my rigs today

    I rigged a total ghetto cooling solution with my PS3 + three folding rigs. Instead of having them sit nice and neat in a row along the wall, I removed the side panels from the PC's and arranged them in a sort of diagonal cluster with open sides facing a new fan I bought at an angle.. (hot...

    How can I fold on my PS3?

    I hope you haven't lost sight of why you're really folding. ;) It shouldn't be all about points.

    Unfortunately? Evga is awesome. I've had nothing but good experience with their cards. Just cuz they are competing for points is no reason not to take advantage of their deals. Buy one of the cards and use it against em. :)

    How can I fold on my PS3?

    I did some research on this and it seems the PS3 was fixed to a max 1000ppd around 4 years ago when that was considered a very high number..but this was really something of an arbitrary choice by the Stanford people. The actual speed and scientific work done by the Cell processor easily exceeds...

    How can I fold on my PS3?

    The Life application has a couple "channels" inside it. In order to access the folding channel, hold down the square button for a few seconds, then the menu will pop up and you can switch to Folding@home. :)
