In the previous forum, we had a similar discussion about people who auctioned FAH points on ebay. I though that before any of you decide to start advertising a service here with some statement like "I've got a computer that I'd be glad to rent for $xxxx which can earn yyy PPD for your account&q...

http://foldingforum.org/profile.php?mode=viewprofile&u=286 I'm not fully convinced that this user can be considered a spammer. They do have a web-page that is commercial site, but it's in russian and there were several legitimate russian members of FCF.org. I'll remove the WWW entry and see wha...

A small percentage of WUs reach a condition where the model no longer is an accurate representation of the real process. They get uploaded for partial credit (sometimes very small, sometimes not) and eventually get discarded. A certain percentage of computers are unable to calculate results accurate...

You might want put the phone call on the Tribune's bill since the two responses that you've gotten are from France and from UK.

booger thought they would have kept a close eye on backing up the beta team membership, As it is such an important part of the project. The backup is not the issue. When you registered for folding-community.org the forum software assigned you an internal identifier. Then somebody manually attached ...

I will be really good for the next phase of whatever happens to the FAH-Brook-ATI client since he'll know the issues from both sides of the street. The other question is what does this mean for a future FAH client that runs on nVidia? Presumably there are still people at Brook that can support the P...

On behalf of the entire folding community, thank you. I suggest that you also look for a PS3. You'll be able to use it to watch blue-ray movies, to play games if that appeals to you (or your kids), but most importantly, it will make an important contribution to FAH when you're not using it. It's a b...

There are basically two configurations, one with the Emotion Engine (PS2 hardware) and one without. F@H runs on either. There was a discussion about a die-shrink on the CELL which would change points-per-watt. Did that happen? I have the EE and it makes a pretty good room heater on cold nights. Doe...

I've blocked the primary source for the five bots that have posted spams within the past 24 hours. That's better than having to deal with them individually.

Re: How accurate is folding@home to the real thing?

How accurate is folding@home to the real thing? And how do you check if the folding is what is going on in a test tube somewhere? If you're scientifically inclined, read the papers that have been published so far. http://folding.stanford.edu/English/Papers The purpose of FAH is to better understand...
