I'm having some overheating problems on my p4 prescott. It's overclocked a bit and my cpu fan died. I was running a Tsunami heat sink and fan, so I had to go back to the stock fan and heatsink for a bit. I'm still folding, but a little bit slower until my new fan comes in. I have been allowing folding to run at 100%, but had to cut back to 50% on the stock fan.
Good job team and thanks to everybody that is folding. This is a personal matter for me, because cancer has affected my life. Together we will make a difference!
I think I might be addicted to folding, I find myself checking both of my computers all the time to check the progress of them! One question, after you do a couple of WU's does it start giving you bigger ones?

I think it is personal for a lot of us. Lost both my parents to cancer, lost a good friend this week to it, and my best friend and mentor is dying of it right now...........My heart felt gratitude goes out to all here that are helping.

Alright boys and girls....It's kicking a$$ now....Up to 80%.....should be done in a couple of days and I'm curious to see how the upload to scientificos goes...(heard some of y'all had some issues). Was worried before....but found out that when I was having issues with the computer and had to keep restarting...it kicked off the "active" portion of the program, and the folding/home was sitting idle doing nothing for hours or days.
Ready to finish this one and curious to see what "job" the boys up north throw at me...(haha).
***P.S.*** In the "news" portion of the protein profile....it's said "no news is good news" since it started.......Have any of y'all gotten anything but this statement?.....
Perhaps some related form of Folding@Home was used to aid in that discovery?........
Remember when Gleevec was discovered oh....8 or 10 years ago?......Closest thing to a wonderdrug for at least (one) form of Leukemia (CML) as we know of........70% to 80% cure rate....AND little or no side effects.
Keep 'em coming boys!
I really am (somewhat) excited to be part of the process. I'm not bright enough to put on the bio-suit and hang out amongst the beakers and peer through the microscopes...but hey, if I can at least do a little to help THEM out......We might wake up the next day and read in the paper some wonderful "magic bullet" treatment for cancer (which we HAVE made strides with).
Or even better.....ALS (have there been ANY advances in Lou Gehrig's Disease since the baseball player himself died in 1941?......). I read about 5 years back about some treatment that put off symptoms from 4 to 6 months, but I know of no other treatment.....just palliative care.
I don't know if this folding is related or not, but let me relate a little good cancer news (that doesn't sound right but you know what I mean) When my brother was diagnosed with Ewing sarcoma it had a 100% 5yr fatality rate, in other words at that point in time no one had ever survived past 5yrs that was diagnossed with it. This particular cancer is fairly rare (as I recall the number was that my brother was the 512th case ever diagnosed) it's a child hood bone cancer striking between the ages of 10-20yr old, very, very aggressive and very painful. Well the latest I had heard was about a year ago and the 5 yr survivability rate of this particular cancer is now 94%, now thats a big turn around.
I have a friend that was recently diagnosed with ALS, CM. He's been draggin' a leg for the past couple years and always thought it was due to a knee injury and only when his symptoms worsened, did they finally catch the true cause. It seems he's had a slow progression with the onset masked by other problems, but I hope they can find something in time to stop, if not reverse this horrible disease.
ya gotta keep the faith. Nancy's cancer(smallcell-lung) had a 1 yr survivability of -3% . she kicked ass for almost 16 months. poor Benny Parsons was more the norm (6 mos). i know we aren't going to cure it here, but if we can add to research, keep hopeful, and support the cause, this scourge will go away.
i'm ashamed to admit i did nothing except an occasional coin drop at the store for a sick kid before Nan got sick.
from me and Sassy, from the bottom of our hearts, THANK-YOU.
this will be beaten.
Ryan, God bless you starting this. everyone playing along..... you will forever have a place in my thoughts and prayers. i think of Nan nearly every minute, and with the effort being put out here, i think of you all at the same time.
i don't mean to sound sappy. i'm just glad that we found a way to do something about an isssue that has touched so many of us. but from me alone.. thank-you so very much.(and Sassy to)
Ain't nothing sappy there, Carl. My barber, whose a good friend (as well as an ex-cop/marine vietnam vet) lost his wife a couple of years ago from the same cancer that took Nancy. She quit smoking about 20 years ago.........Got diagnosed October 2004.....Died August 2005 (10 months).
We may not cure it TODAY, but we'll cure it SOMEDAY........
