Very gracefully put, Clocker. Provided that our friend the Bartender does not put on another sudden spurt, I'm mostly wondering if I can dare to aim at the astonishingly productive JoJo. He's still out-crunching me at present; so I'm getting further away, not even level-pegging. I need more...

Clocker - it ain't Handruin you mostly have to worry about. :bibber:

It would probably help to know more about your network, Bozo. What other machines are connected? How? (Not that I am a likely prospect to give you an answer - just that I suspect that the networking gurus here will need to know this.)

Actually, I seem to have Flash on this machine (my main ECS server). At least I can see the site. What there is of it, anyway. Where did that OS/2 Flash install come from? I don't remember installing it. Uhh ... remind me again - why did I spend all that money of Tannin's on that new 21 inch...

Monkeys are too intelligent to want to see flash.

No site that uses Flash can be considered small.

Who is NGR?

Well, so much for that: when I check the Stanford stats (i.e., not Statsman, because Statsman lags about an hour) we are already past them: we are at #192 and they are #196. The next challenge is Team Austech Info: the ultimate in online technology information based forums, it is the premier...

#195 and counting. We should appear in the rear-view mirror of plafond-9.com Folding@Home Team - Indonesia any time now. In fact, within the hour: I just connected my two home machines up - sent in three results - and when I get to the office I'll walk around my crunching farm with a network...

I used to be able to do that stuff with Telnet, Mercutio. But (a) I've forgotten exactly how, and (b) they have moved my server since then. But my other FTP package (the OS/2 one, at work) has an optional command line. I suspect that that will do it. On the other hand, the rogue folder -...

So, what's wrong with the Herald Sun? Oh, sorry, you're from Sydney. Make that the Daily Mail. (Or is it the Telegraph?) I get the tabloids all mixed up.]

I have an equally stubborn, and equally empty, directory on my web server. I made it in the usual way, I think - i.e., using one or another of the various FTP packages I use, but I can't delete it even when I dust off Tannin's very rusty skills and telnet in.

The JoJo says: "How am I now supposed to act when people want to give me fast cars, and women throw themselves in my lap?" Very surprised. :-?

Tannin - that's going to be really difficult and cumbersome. Here's an easier way to do it. Start with what you said. But when Coug approves a news item, it automatically posts a thread. The thread is in the Computers forum, the title is the same as the news item title, the username and...

Good Lord you people are ignorant. Anyone who knows anything at all about hard drives and the reliability patterns that accompany them could tell you the proper way to achieve this goal. If you want the drive to fail, J-frog, you need to follow the same basic procedure that you follow with any...

The idea is to move the FAQ so that you get it when you click on the FAQ in the masthead.

Easy: I don't. :) I just mentioned that one because it was in the picture. But there is another K6-III/500 in the back office that crunches (sitting alongside the XP 1700 main server that doesn't because it runs OS/2), and two more machines at home: XP 1800 and Thunderbird 1333. Come to think...

I suppose I better go home and let Tannin get some sleep so that he can complete his long-promised re-write of the FAQ. That will take one more ugly announce thingie out.

Congratulations, JoJo! I too have the urge to play with the big boys up at the top end of the table. Hence my little production line (excuse crappy photo, I'm tired): From right to left: The DOS box: a Pentium 200 at present The Burner box: K6-III/500 running NT and crunching in its own...

I've seen this too from time to time, Adcadet, and I think there is an easy fix, or at least a simple explanation. Unfortunately I don't know what it is!

Thanks Clocker. Running it now.

Oh, and I nearly forgot - you can see detailed Storageforum.net team stats here: http://www.statsman.org/folding2stats/html/10047.html Right now, we are producing at these rates: The JoJo: 147 The Bartender: 140 handruin 105 Clocker 110 Tea 80 CougTek 65 P5 133XL: 57 Prof.Wizard: 19 Pradeep...

But to hell with the size of the team: what about the raw horsepower we are generating? If we keep up out current productivity level, where can we realistically aim for? Long and the short of it is we are the 39th fastest producing team. We shouldn't be aiming top 100, guys, we are already...

Oh, and I forgot to mention the other two machines, which are here at home: an XP 1800 and a Thunderbird 1333. Essentially, they do one or two work units a day each: when I get home they are waiting for a connection, and when I get up in the morning, they are waiting for a connection again...

But Coug - what sort of web connection do you have? My multiplicity of machines spend most of their time waiting for a web connection.

OK, it sounds as if, from Mercutio's post, that I'm going to struggle to get the bridge machine to work. (As I said above, I've made it talk to the hub, and I've made it talk to another machine over coax, but not been able to make it talk to both at the same time. So, if I'm going to have to...

I gather that it's possible to have more than one NIC in a system, indeed commonplace, though I've never done it before. In my madness to make the top five and overtake Cougtek once and for all, I'm severely handicaped by my lack of a permanant internet connection - I'm not getting a great deal...

That fan truly is a thing of beauty, Rocco. Damn it, I might even shell out for one myself. Nice pictures.

Mercutio: "Maybe we could even get the bartender to hang some curtains or something." Bartender: "I don't know about that. I'll have Tea hang them, her feminine nature, and ape-like reflexes will come in handy." Alas, my short stature might result in some rather odd-looking curtains. More...

#326 and Soup Nazi has arrived with a five-pointer. :)

I still have to sort my networking problem out, P5. But we will do that before too long. Tannin is still doing UD in theory, but only as a screen saver now, and it never seems to get anywhere. We should fiddle with the screen saver settings so that it gets enough time to do at least a little...

But these same cables carry my LAN traffic. I don't fancy a 90% reduction in network speed just so I can fold proteins. :(

I detect renewed spurts of activity from P5 and Cougtek: just as well, because I am breathing down their necks now. As soon as I get that fifth machine, an Athlon XP 1900, talking to the network - Mercutio is helping me with that over in this thread...

Yup: I have NetBeui working fine. I think that for DHCP I need Warp Server, which is $1500 or so a copy. (Roughly equivalent to NT AS, or a Netware licence.) Though it's amazing to see the stuff that I sometimes discover hidden away inside it. But, seeing as you mention it, I do have something...

Hoolie Doolie! You're telling me a GF III Ti500 goes for ~ US$107 + ~US$60 = ~US$170 = ~AU$330? That's astonishing. That amount will buy you a quality Gforce II Ti over here, and leave enough change for about twelve ice-creams. Assuming you like ice-creams, which at this time of year I don't.

CONTROL-Q B CONTROL-Q K CONTROL-Q C Tannin, as a man who habitually and of his own free will murders the English language on a daily basis, what can I say? Except that that was indeed a horribly error-ridden post. Do I detect a hard core of artfully suppressed but nevertheless...

(You know, sometimes, Tannin, I think that you and I are the only real people here.) (I know what you mean. But you are wrong. I'm pretty sure that there is someone else too.) (You mean someone else besides you and me?) (Yes.) (Hmmm .... I think you are right! I mean, we didn't make up all...

Excuse me, Mercutio. I was unclear. We have two different connection sharing setups. At home it's a Windows 2000 master using ICS, with a W98SE box connected to it via a X-over cable. That one is the one Tannin started the other thread about, and it is working OK. At the office, it's a bit...

Awesome performance, they tell me .... will the drivers work? Crossed fingers. Probably a wise choice, Clocker, at least in value for money terms. Which Gforce is it most closely equivalent to, and what price do they go for?

I will. You don't mind about my knuckles brushing against the ground when I walk, do you?

Dumb question: what is gamespy? Also, I believe that Voodo (i.e., Nvidia) are actually about to release in-house drivers of their own. Or that's what David told me.

I was right. As usual.

Where is Tannin when you need him? I'm trying to do this on my own, and I'm lost. This morning I finished hooking up the NT box in the workshop (K6-III 500) to the TCP/IP thingie, slipped Folding@Home console onto it, and it's crunching away quite happily. But that damn Couchtest character is...

What should you do with that box? You should give it a network card and get it crunching Clocker - because I'm a comin up fast! :mrgrn:

Ahh, Thankyou i. A half hour later, I am slightly educated. Read through the script (which only makes a little sense seeing as I barely know what Signfeld is - I think I saw one, maybe two episodes about four years ago) but that recording, dreadful as it is, gives me a much clearer picture...
