I'm hoping TWC does come out this far but that my aunt just never investigated it. Doesn't matter too awful much though, I will start to spend most of my time out of the house and away from my cave as I use the laptop I'm getting soon. School blocks almost anything worth going to. My old high school only blocked the porn and games, this one blocks almost everything -- forums, personal email, many news sites, and even the Steam servers. People with VPNs configured have endless trouble getting them to work out at school. I'm actually very surprised that they don't block Teamviewer and Youtube, though I've heard they only just lifted the ban on Youtube. Again, doesn't matter much -- when I need to download large amounts of data I just go somewhere that isn't school or home.
Expect my folding contributions to pretty well cease except for the small trickle from the laptop when I can get away with it -- I'm trading the Phenom II for a mini-iTX machine (as well as a couple of high-capacity drives to sweeten the deal) that, while too anemic for desktop use, will be perfect for running FreeNAS on. My aunt is starting to question why I run my computer all the time. I told her it was basically helping cure all sorts of diseases and I even directed her to the Folding homepage, but she still doesn't seem to believe me. I can't complain a nit since I'm basically freeloading, but it admittedly does get on my nerves a bit.
Wow. Derailed topic. Sorry.
