Nope. You must be really smashed, ixnay?

 

[Flinx]

Your folding is fine. The other stuff will have to wait until some things wear off.

The loving are the daring!

I broke the 5k barrier!!!

now, that you're in the top half of contributors, the rank climbing will get tougher! believe me,I know, what I'm talking about!

Which PC will finish a work unit faster (with same hardware), a Linux PC or a WinXP PC?

LOL. I am sure someday they will be able to do that, but growing bone in the mouth is very difficult to do. If that was the case people with bone loss could get their bone back and not ever need to worry about someone elses teeth.

Good question never have had that one before.

it might also depend on the flavor of the linux, I don't know, which kernel the linux version is optimized for. Im pretty sure, that apesoccer's right in assuming that the benchmark is flawed in the linux-version, because the actual folding seems pretty adequate in comparison to the low benchmark-result.
My guess is, that the windows-version is better optimized. But its not a very educated guess. I could find out the exact specs of the linux-machine, I'm folding with, that would give us an idea of the relative speed, if we compare it to <A HREF="http://www.geocities.com/spitfire_x86/thgc/fahbench.html" target="_new">spitfire_x86's link to the benchmarks</A>!
cheers

Hmm. This <A HREF="http://vspx27.stanford.edu/cgi-bin/main.py?qtype=osstats" target="_new">http://vspx27.stanford.edu/cgi-bin/main.py?qtype=osstats</A> is interesting. It suggests that the 9% of systems that use linux, supply 11% of the tflops.

It was just that <i>The Whole Nine Yards</i> where they scsrewed with teeth to make a false positive ID from a dental record after charring the bodies got me thinking that a more thorough job of it could be part of a process of creating a fake ID. I mean skin graft someone's finger prints and inside cheek tissue and swap teeth and your fingerprints, DNA (since they usually just swab inside the mouth these days) and dental records would all no longer match that of, say, a rich serial killer who decides to retire.

I know it's <i>weird</i>, but if it was possible then it might make for a humerous novel. Some poor sap would likely have to be killed since people don't generally give up their skin and teeth lightly, but it just got me to thinking when I had a tooth knocked out and put back in that if I could put back in <i>my</i> tooth, how much harder would it be to put someone else's in?

And that got me to thinking medically, could it be done after long periods of time, like for people who were tired of dentures. Would you have to like drill the bone open to plant the root or something?

Yeah, I'm weird. I know. 😉

According to <A HREF="http://folding.extremeoverclocking.com/team_list.php?s=&p=2" target="_new">http://folding.extremeoverclocking.com/team_list.php?s=&p=2</A> Only 58 of 107 people are active. Come on, where are you other 49 people? If folding on slower computers, then keep folding. If you have given up and not folding anymore, please try it out again. Its only a matter of time before we get to the top 100 teams. We have a good pace but it woudl be even better if everyone contributed 100%.
