Welcome unacceptable_risk to the LN Folding Team!

[mdzcpa]

Glad to see that your stats have shown up on the team....well done and happy folding:)

[Drake]

Aye, and thanks for helping LN break the 200 mark! :D

Hi Drake,

Actually, we were below 200 several days ago.

With that said, :D :D WELCOME :D :D to the team, U_R.

Take care........

[Drake]

Yea, but no one's said anything 'bout it :rolleyes:

[mdzcpa]

I thought everyone was getting tired of me doing the "big countdown" so i didn't say anything when we hit 200:)

I think breaking into the top 100 teams will be the next big milestone!

Hi Drake,

Check this out.
It is what we have been using for seeing placement:

Take care.......

PS.....We are at 180th Place now.

[Drake]

I've been using whatever shows the best rank :p

Welcome to the team unaaceptable_risk :)

Now I've more people to fight off to keep my 9th position ... since certain people leapt right over me and left me standing :(

:beerm8s: Welcome m8 :beerm8s:

[Drake]

Ninth isn't all that bad a position :p

I was stuck there once too ;)

[Jokester]

do u need fast internet to run this thing ?

[lechumbl]

Hi Jokester,

You don't need FAST internet, just internet.
If you have a modem, it is very difficult to run Folding.
It requires a connection every time it needs to upload and download units, like SETI does. The only difference is, you can not cache units and run a bunch and then upload them to Berkeley.
If you complete a unit of folding, and there is not connection, it waits till it is connected. This is a waste of time, unless you are there to connect and send every time to Stanford.

Take care......

[Drake]

Aye, broadband isn't required, but a 24/7 connection is.

[Farabomb]

That means no AOL :D

[Drake]

Heheh :p

[lechumbl]

Hi all,

"That means no AOL."
Friends don't let friends use AOL. :p

Take care.......

Thanks everyone,

This is the most computer fun that I have had since I first got my first Athlon. That probably means I should get out more, or at least buy a better video card....

But this is much cheaper and more productive. I have 5 machines going now and another 4 to setup. I'm gunning for a team top 10 pozzie:2guns: So fold hard fellas. :D

The team keeps climbing the rankings each time I check, which rocks. Full steam ahead.

I just keep thinking of the local library and IT college with the dozens of idle boxes within. The college ones have done nothing 24/7 for the whole summer break. I can think of ways to convince them to fold,, but how do I convince them to fold for the LN team. By the time they get a sniff of the compeditive side of folding they'll want to start thier own team. Oh well Its all good for science.:)

Great welcome..Taa
