BlueMage Posted August 12, 2006 Share Posted August 12, 2006 Something strange - I haven't been able to acquire any new packets to work on. Most odd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
100_PERCENT ROEMER Posted August 23, 2006 Author Share Posted August 23, 2006 You can try forwarding port 8080 to your computer, that should let you get work packets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IckesTheSane Posted August 24, 2006 Share Posted August 24, 2006 For anyone thinking about getting a PS3, you might be able to fold on it. There's also some comments about folding using GPU's, though it looks like only ATI. Something strange - I haven't been able to acquire any new packets to work on. Most odd. I was checking out a tech forum that had a folding team and read a few of their threads (spying on the enemy, I suppose). One thing that was mentioned was that they had stopped issuing, or had run out, of 'deadlineless' work packets. I have one computer that is set up to do the deadlineless work packets since it's a little slow, and it has been unable to download any new WU's. It's an easy option to change in the configure menu, under advanced, at the bottom. Might fix it for you, if you're still having problems.

100_PERCENT ROEMER Posted August 29, 2006 Author Share Posted August 29, 2006 And another bump! Hmm, we could use some new members too. Recruiting time I say! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IckesTheSane Posted August 29, 2006 Share Posted August 29, 2006 And another bump! Hmm, we could use some new members too. Recruiting time I say! Well, I don't know that I can recruit any actual people, but I am starting a new job tomorrow and may be able to get a few computers there folding, but we'll have to see... The computers I'm using at my current job (technically 3, but one is super slow and isn't on much) will still be folding, but I don't know how much they'll stay on, or if the folding program will be removed. Oh, I did have a question to ask. Does the folding program disable the screen saver for anyone else? On my new computer at home the screen saver never comes on while it's working on a WU. Once it's done, before I connect to get a new packet (dial-up), the screen saver has come on then... any thoughts? The screen saver is just a generic windows screen saver, not the folding one.

neminem Posted August 30, 2006 Share Posted August 30, 2006 Thanks for the reminder. I am in I remember when I tried this a few years ago, I was finding a bug where my team kept getting reset to 0; lets see whether that still happens (probably not; this was years ago, on a different computer).

K999 Posted September 10, 2006 Share Posted September 10, 2006 Team rank: 701. Wow, we are still climbing up. Even when the number of active CPU's have gone down in the past few weeks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
K999 Posted September 16, 2006 Share Posted September 16, 2006 Team rank: 699. Did Skrypnyk join? Because if he didn't, bad things are going to happen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
K999 Posted September 18, 2006 Share Posted September 18, 2006 Since this thread has been around in gendisc since last year, I think it would be a good idea if this thread is turned into an announcement or at least stickied so that it remains on front page. Even though the topic of this thread has nothing to do with what ocremix is all about, it at least reflects the diversity of our community, and it does so in a very positive way.

100_PERCENT ROEMER Posted September 20, 2006 Author Share Posted September 20, 2006 Yeah, it would be pretty nice if it could be stickied. I'll PM a mod and see what they can do about that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IckesTheSane Posted September 20, 2006 Share Posted September 20, 2006 Would it be worth it to create another forum page just for OCR teams? There's our folding team, and it periodically pops up with teams for games and such,: Team OCRemix [Halo2 Clan] That was just the one I happened to find first, but I know there are more... Just thinking it might be better the having a ton of stickes at the top of the page... I also added my computer at work, but sadly it is about a 500MHz CPU, so it's hardly going to be cranking out the WU's... There are some other computers around, and quite a nice server room, but I think they have more important things to be doing... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
100_PERCENT ROEMER Posted September 20, 2006 Author Share Posted September 20, 2006 Pfff, like anything could be more important than Team OverclockedRemix - Folding @ Home Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IckesTheSane Posted September 21, 2006 Share Posted September 21, 2006 Well, maybe in a year or so, after I get comfortable at the job..... or start to hate it and wouldn't mind getting fired That, and in the meantime I have to figure out how to put stuff on them.... I mean, there's no keyboards or monitors or anything... what good are they? Who can use a computer like that? And if they're usless, why do we have so many of them?

Tai_Zidek Posted September 21, 2006 Share Posted September 21, 2006 None of the friends I've talked to will put F@H on their computers, neither will any of my family. My girlfriend would, but she uses her laptop for everything, and turns it off whenever she's done working on it, so there would be no point. I'm still trying to get people to join though, just having problems finding ones who are willing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
K999 Posted September 23, 2006 Share Posted September 23, 2006 According to this, team gamefaqs is one of our top five threats. Losing to them is unacceptable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
100_PERCENT ROEMER Posted September 29, 2006 Author Share Posted September 29, 2006 ONWARDS MY BROTHERS! ONWARDS TO VICTORY!! Anyways, I'm at college now so my comp will probably be folding all day. Hellz yeah! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
K999 Posted October 6, 2006 Share Posted October 6, 2006 Team rank: 688. And gamefaqs is going to overtake us in about two hours. Freakin' GAMEFAQS. Take a look at their list. They have ten more active cpu's than us. Time to recruit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

K999 Posted October 6, 2006 Share Posted October 6, 2006 I'd like to get involved, and i read the first post stuff, but i don't get what this is all about You should take a look at this. What is protein folding and how is folding linked to disease? Proteins are biology's workhorses -- its "nanomachines." Before proteins can carry out these important functions, they assemble themselves, or "fold." The process of protein folding, while critical and fundamental to virtually all of biology, in many ways remains a mystery.Moreover, when proteins do not fold correctly (i.e. "misfold"), there can be serious consequences, including many well known diseases, such as Alzheimer's, Mad Cow (BSE), CJD, ALS, Huntington's, Parkinson's disease, and many Cancers and cancer-related syndromes. So this program basically uses a little bit of computing power from your pc and folds protiens. All of this data can help biologists understand how the whole protein folding process works and why it doesn't work in certain cases.

Jaswald Posted October 6, 2006 Share Posted October 6, 2006 yeah, i guess i didn't understand it. If i can convince my mom to use it, i bet i can have it on all day. Well, looks like i'm hooked up now. Not sure if i set it up for the team though pretty sure i did. Add'd:What's the sccreensaver option for? can you actually make FAH your screensaver?
