    Folding@Home: 24 hour stats - May 24, 2007

    Well, that's the last one I'm turning in for the summer. I'll be out of town the rest of the summer without my desktop. I'll have my laptop, but it's a piece of crap so definitely no folding on it. Come middle of August, though, I'll be back online with my Windows SMP client and a new Linux...

    NSA/google/microsoft

    I'm going to assume it is a conditional job offer from the NSA. If that is the case, then he won't actually have a job there for about eight or nine months due to having to get the TS clearance. He should start working at Google and then transfer to the NSA when he gets his clearance, assuming...

    OFFICIAL 2007 NHL playoffs thread.

    Ottawa in 6. Anaheim in 6. If Anaheim wins, I'm rooting for them in the finals. If Detroit wins, I'm rooting for the Eastern Conference team to win the finals. I don't like Detroit.

    Just a quick question??

    Using beryl, you can hold down alt and use your mouse's scroll wheel to change the transparency of the active window. I don't know how to get it to remember the transparency for the windows you set though, so I always have to adjust them each time they are opened. I'm sure there is a way to...

    Why would you click a link about IE7 beta when the full version has been available for a long time now?

    Software Password Protection

    I'm interested in this too. I tried Thunderbird once before to try to manage all of my email accounts, but I did not like the fact that when trying to log in with the credentials for one of the accounts, if I hit cancel instead of logging in, I could see any emails already in the client and...

    OFFICIAL 2007 NHL playoffs thread.

    Bah, both teams I did not want to win won today. In fact, Buffalo is the only team I want to win that won their game 2. Stupid teams.

    Folding@Home: 24 hour stats - April 28, 2007

    Thanks GLeeM. Team Engadget must have ramped up here in the past couple of days. Two days ago they were looking at 4.2 months to overtake us; now they are at 3.3 months. By the way, how is sillylog new twice? =)

    Folding@Home: 24 hour stats - April 26, 2007

    If the current daily average is upheld for all teams, the time listed is the time for us to pass a team (overtakes) or to be passed up by a team (threats). Teams we are threatening to overtake means we outproduce them, while teams threatening us means they outproduce us.

    FILE_IO_ERROR

    I get File IO Errors every so often. I fix it by restarting the client. Sometimes it takes a couple of tries, but you pretty much just have to be sure that mpiexec and the FAH cores are no longer in the task manager.

    Soccer or American Football

    Yes, but you realize soccer is skill with the feet right? It's very difficult to master foot-eye coordination because it is just unnatural for us. To be able to run at full speed and be under complete control of the ball requires a greater amount of skill than American football. One problem...

    Advice for a 1st time flier....

    It works for some of my relatives who get motion sickness. If it's a long flight, you may want to have the pills with you so you can take some more. I think they are only good for like 4-6 hours.
