    Folding@Home

    And he is doing it with three fewer processors turning in results on a weekly basis (15/18). Maybe you should mothball the K6s and upgrade. Can you you setup your net connection (office and home) to dial-on-demand and then drop the the connection after a certain length of inactivity.

    Folding@Home

    When I left I had all of my machines crunching. When I returned 11 days later I found that my apt had suffered a power failure and none of my machines had crunched anything for a week. My machines are back up now but I've been futzing about with settings and BSODs so I don't have a good feel...

    Looking to move the site

    I realize reliability is a whole other set of issues. I just loaded the first page of the G@h thread and while it took 39sec for the IE golbe to stop spinning on SF it took only 21sec from the beta site. This from a 26400 modem connection. It is actually not that bad even with all the images...

    Holy Smoking RAM!

    Ah, Stories of explosive gases. In my story above, I was looking down the end of a PVC tennis ball cannon. A classmate (yes, we built it for an engineering class) had taking the cannon home to install the Coleman striker in it. He had tested the striker and cannon to ensure operability and then...

    Genome@Home

    Indeed. It has gain new life as my game machine that resides in my bedroom. I moved the pIII850, X15 out. I couldn't take the noise while trying to sleep anymore. The 8KHA+ now lives with a Duron 950@1081 and D740X FB. Ahhhhhhhhh.

    THE SHOCK! THE HORROR! READ THE FRONT PAGE!

    I did not mean that the results obtained from .99 would carry over into 3.0 stats. I meant that @home stats would be @home stats and it wouldn't matter which project you ran. From theFolding 3.0 FAQ: This may imply that Folding 2.0 results will not be dumped when 3 comes out. The beta will...

    THE SHOCK! THE HORROR! READ THE FRONT PAGE!

    "Closing" is not the correct word. Consolidation would be more appropriate. I belive that you could run either project with the new (upcoming) client and stats for both projects are consolidated.

    Don't feel bad NRG. I'm also outproducing The JoJo and Cougtek in the weekly total column but I suspect version 3.0 will be out before I can catch them (Statsman indicates into August for The JoJo). They have a significant lead. I only really started with the new machines on Friday, I think...

    Is the DellDude an IDIOT or What?

    Supposedly, he went to my high school and now attends NYU. The fact that he graduated 8 years behind me means that I've never met him. That doesn't stop people from asking me whenever I'm installing a Dell computer at a company I don't work for though. I actually like the commercial depicted...

    But Coug, You are not going to crunch any slower. If we jump on 3.0 right when it comes out we can be in the race from the start. No late start penalty. They also have a Mac client.

    Yuck, even the ticks in Oz are nasty. I have no problem with ticks in general; some people are positively fanatical about never getting one on them. Paralysis is something I'd like to avoid, however.

    Some Macs used appletalk. The connector was round like ps/2 but with a few more pins. That is the extent of my knowledge on appletalk. Try google. What did HP web support say?

    Interesting hard drive testing

    While this article is about hard drive testing, the data can be used to evaluate defrag software. OO defrag took,usually, more than twice as long to complete than the fastest contender. While there is no data indicating quality, speed is half the equation.

    This a problem I'm also stuck with. Today's affordable digital cameras can match my SLR. So for me that means negatives or prints. And now the crux of the problem, I know squad about digital imaging. Once it comes out of the camera I'm basicly lost. My little HP 3400C seems to do a good job but...

    Netgear Gigabit NIC...Should I Use it?

    I read somewhere that some manufacturers are "binding" the pairs to keep the twists near exact for the full length of the cable. It also seems Cat 7 [ISO Class F] is already a standard in Europe.

    Netgear Gigabit NIC...Should I Use it?

    Solid wire cabling is cheaper but harder to work with. Usually solid wire is used inside the walls. Stranded wire cables are generally used for patch cables. That's not to say you can't use solid core for patch cables. I did, but I won't make that mistake again.

    Then again Bozo, Do you think that setting was being applied to the controller or to the drive itself. In looking back over what I wrote in my last post, everything I said applies to the OS even though in my head I was thinking firmware. Thanks Pradeep.
