Folding Forum

Let's ask a different question. (Note: This is not something even semi-official, so don't assume it will really happen) Suppose you got less points if you accepted a WU with twice the deadline? (...or maybe more points if you accepted WUs with a shorter deadline?) Note that the bonus (or anti-bonus...

True but notfred is linux right? Linux is bad ass, but realistly in the future how much revenue will there come from linux boxes compared to windows boxes?... You missed my point entirely. Whether notfred's client is running linux or not isn't important because you don't have to DO ANYTHING to it. ...

I never said impossible, I did manage like that (a EXE check itself if there is a updated version. If yes, call a updater exe, the updated close the caller exe then update before restarting the caller exe. It then terminate itself). However, to do this as cleanly as possible and to manage the possi...

The other issue is that if the client try to self-update, it doesn't always work due to the fact that the exe is already running when it tries to replace it. I worked a lot on this aspect and it's not as easy as it seems. :S You can have the functionality not in the main executable but external, pr...

yes, the number of folding gpus is disappointing. It's still pretty early days, so actually, I'm pretty happy so far. Recall that GPU1 had about 500 donors a steady state. However, GPU1 was limited scientifically and in speed (so less PPD) and was really, really hard to install (lots of driver issu...

Well climate change is big wury to me, I live in a country which is famed for it's strugles both with and on the water but if the sea's would raise to much no levie or man made wall can keep it out. So if Pande called it quits, I would probably move to that project.
