If I can keep rolling out 3 packets a day, yer all in trouble!

It is a great cause, tho slightly ironic. One of the Zombie scenarios is a biologically caused one, and this research would lead to the kind of research that could create zombies.

Signed up... been wanting to sign up for something like this since I uninstalled Seti@Home about a month ago.

I tried that, but my computer got stuck at 17 and caught fire...

I'd like to pitch in, but am afraid that my computer might bring about the Zombocalypse... :shock:

Mostly nowadays, my computer uses its downtime to think about the sound of 1 hand clapping...

I'm already part of Kotaku's folding@home team. It's the only thing my PS3 is good for :-P

I'm on it.

I have a few spare PCs at work that I can turn on and get them busy doing this.

One of those boxes is a sad old machine thats not even on, and I dont think I reinstalled the folding software this time around, so Im sure you will beat me

Keep up the good work!

I've got two machines running Seti@Home, but used to do that Folding bit. My computer kept crapping out, so I wasn't content with having my computer emulate the noise of a buzzsaw when I was trying to sleep.

by **Wraa** » Thu Jun 14, 2007 9:32 am

Got a 4th PC running it now.
I guess it helps if I never shut down. :>)

I wonder, so they notify you if your pc finds something important?

I need to change my team number I guess. Have it running on my home machine, damn near antique Dual 1Ghz G4 mac, but it is still something.

by **B29** » Sun Jan 20, 2008 8:32 pm

I have also been running seti@home for quite a few years... I will give this some time now.

by **TheFreakinBear** » Sun Jan 20, 2008 10:25 pm

Looks interesting. I'm about to take my laptop back to factory installation to clean it off and start over from scratch so I'll have to pop back in here for that link to get that going now.

I've got my PS3 set up with Folding@Home for ZS. Works pretty sweet

by **OhioMe** » Fri Apr 18, 2008 7:48 pm

I thought ZS wasn't technically a non-profit charity. Did that change? If so , yay!

by **B29** » Fri Apr 18, 2008 8:51 pm

How does the work units vs. the points work on the scale? Some have more work units and lower score and others have higher score and fewer work units?

by **LilDaemon** » Wed Apr 23, 2008 8:12 pm

I think it's the size of the work units processed. Not really sure though.

Woot! I'm moving up the ranks!

Folding@Home is a great cause, and I've been at it myself for a couple of years. That said, there's also another way to contribute to medical research called fold.it. To quote from the linked article below:

"A new game, named Foldit, turns protein folding into a competitive sport. Introductory levels teach the rules, which are the same laws of physics by which protein strands curl and twist into three-dimensional shapes – key for biological mysteries ranging from Alzheimer's to vaccines."

Anyone have experience with the SMP Client?

Ill have to check this out... im doing it, with my PS3 though

by **andygates** » Thu Jul 10, 2008 2:27 pm

Good to see the idle time of the ZS distributed supercomputer (er, our PCs and consoles...) put to good use. I jumped on this as soon as it started, 'cos a foldy-type brainrot nailed my Dad and has the last dance marked on my card. Just joined the team. I'll get some of the lazy servers at work on the case too... ;)
