I know what you're thinking ... Owens Corning ... pink panther ... insulation?? I've been heavily researching making an acoustically "natural" sounding room in my apartment for mixing/recording, and I came across newsgroup discussions about this stuff. Long story short: I'm sold on it. There are var...

Isn't the point of Linux that you can recompile the kernel and take any junk you don't need out of any distribution? Do some research and strip the kernel down to the bare essentials that you'll need for folding. When you've got a task specific machine such as the ones you're building you can get ri...

I just had to make a post about this, and I didn't feel like it was important enough for its own thread: my brother is now folding for SPCR (even though he's not a forum member). Collin_Gouldin is now part of the folding team.

Brothers don't shake hands. Brothers gotta fold!

I got one of those Gyration keyboard & mouse sets for my dad for Christmas. They're great! My brother took the keyboard all the way across the house to the kitchen and it still worked great through several walls. The keyboard is a laptop style, so if you are bugged by the low action of laptop keyboa...

Sounds to me like you need to connect all your electronic devices up to a UPS. Most of them can supply power for at least 30 minutes, so a couple of seconds would be a piece of cake.

My 7500 came with a fan. I just disconnected it, and I haven't had any stability problems. But I don't play games very often, so I can't say I've really pushed it to its max. I'd try that approach before going through all that effort.

Man, I wish I were #8) ... that'd be sweet!

**What would be really cool, is if we had a chat room that we could go into and hang out with fellow SPCR members and just chat/BS or whatever. It would also be really helpful for people like rosey_toes, because we could just say come into the chatroom and ill walk you through (whatever) process, i...

There's no way we're on the dark side. Which of us could put up with that annoying breathing sound Darth Vader's helmet makes? We'd be modding that puppy in a heartbeat!

Yeah, the TBred B 1700's are nice. I have one overclocked to 1.83ghz (166x11) @ 1.75v and it's stable at around 47°c while folding. As soon as I can find a BIOS to unlock the multiplier on my AOpen AK79D-1394 I'm going to try a bunch different settings to see what the best combination of FSB, multip...

Thanks for the heads up. That file has a lot more information I can do cool stuff with. It will have the same copy problem, but I'm not worried about that. I'll develop it over the next few days and let you guys know what I come up with. Even if there is something already in Electron Microscope, usi...

try editing the link they give you and replace the forward slash with "%2F" ...that might work and it might not ... it's what ASP (and I believe other web languages) translates "/" to when it has to pass parameters in a query string.

Let me know if it works (I'll feel smart!)

It's just a thread linking day ...

I haven't looked at it. Creating a webpage would be nice ... I don't want it to run as a webserver because Tomcat is already taking port 80. Thanks for the tip! PS - I got my JSP to work. Here's the code for anybody who's interested: Edited to reflect FAHlog.txt: <%@ page language="java" import="jav...

Update: I wrote a simple JSP to put the contents of the log on a web page. As soon as I ran it the first time, I couldn't finish any more frames in my FAH Console. Processor usage was still 100%, but the darn thing ran for 50 minutes without finishing a frame. I ran the graphical client to see if an...

SilentPCReview Folding@Home has NO Threats!

That should work great! I can use Java file IO to test the modified date of the log and refresh its data when the log refreshes.

The only problem I can see coming up is if my servlet is trying to access the log at the same time it's being written ...

But that shouldn't happen very often if at all.

I haven't had time to give it a read, but I thought I'd post it in case you guys want to check it out:

Is there any way for the folding client to pass information to other programs? I'm running Apache Tomcat and would like to create a servlet that would let me see my folding progress on the web so I can track it when I'm not at home. If anybody wants to collaborate on this, let me know. I'll probably...

My laptop finished its week of grunting and straining to pump out a whopping 19 point WU! ...

So once we get in the top 100 do we get a detailed team page on forums.extremeoverclocking.com/folding/ ?

Then we could get even more stats that tell us how much butt we're kicking!

woohoo ... my work laptop is scheduled to crank out its weekly WU early tomorrow ... that may bump things up a little (not much I know, but I can still be excited)

Yeah by software I meant bios revisions.

I can attest to the difficulty of this using the Evercase 4152. The bay covers are curved and have supports on the inside. It would take a lot of work to make them work. Just be careful: look at the bay cover and think to yourself "would this work well as a faceplate for a fan controller?".

It's my understanding that all current NForce2 boards can be upgraded to support DDR400 through software (correct me if I'm wrong).

Point taken. Sorry if I came off a little defensive ... I had visions of purposely misspelled business names (aka Kwik Wash), teenie bopper pop music, and the rest of mainstream society's crap invading one of my most beloved internet sites running through my head.

I just found out my AK79D-1394's multiplier setting is locked. They're planning on unlocking it in a future bios version, but for right now I'm (proverbially and literally) stuck.

The recycle bin does span all windows partitions. As far as removable drives go, the only way I've found (using the "eject hardware" feature of 2k/xp) to make a drive removable is to connect it using usb or firewire as fancontrol suggested. Those hard drive trays that you see all over the place will...
