Noted on our dFold news page, only minutes after your post. It was written up sooner, but there was a bunch of other news to write too.

What happened to your quest for #1 in Genome? Last I checked, you were at #3 and trying for [H] in #2.

We lost faith in the Genome@Home project. The folks running the show aren't very bright.

DF looks very interesting and the support appears to be top-notch....I'm excited.

We are a Top 10 team, this time for real.

Not for long

warhorse · May 9, 2002, 10:59 AM

We have run into them before in SETI, and have them buried in SETI, RC5, and Folding.

We noted that you folks "buried" us after we had quit the project. I believe MacNN passed us at SETI a full year after we had moved to genome

I don't remember us even having an RC5 team save for one or two members, and that didn't last long.

The real fight now will be DF. Good luck.

14 members, and production continues. Mr Lunt was the only cruncher yesterday, and is the top member. Note the lowest-ranked member.

CTho9305 · May 9, 2002, 11:51 AM

lol... we did RC5? must have been ages ago, and for a couple months at most (since when I joined OCN we were doing SETI and OCN was only a few months old).

warhorse doesn't do RC5 any more.

Let them talk about the past, we'll just show them what a real burial looks like

<proximity alarms>

Move! Move! Move!

Retargeting weapons now...

Confirmed—New target: Distributed Folding.

How long till we’re within firing range?

<looks at watch>

T-minus three point five hours and counting!

rkadowns · May 9, 2002, 01:48 PM

Just keep in mind OCN, our dFOLD efforts are no where near top production. I hope you brought some serious heat along with your overclocked Cyrix's.

warhorse · May 9, 2002, 03:41 PM

Likewise, we're split over genome and DF right now, so we are not at 100% either.

CTho9305 · May 9, 2002, 08:26 PM

my cyrix ownz your desklamps and clamshell/toilet seats

is DF altivec optimized? no? uh oh, my 486 will rock your G4s too

(hmm... desklamps are G4s, so thats a bit redundant. whatever

)

slipjack · May 10, 2002, 12:24 AM

We're staying Top Ten... don't you worry.

Hehe, in 2 days we've got something like 90% of your WUs

Slipjack I guess people just don't know when to leave you and myself alone. Here we went and powered everything on Dfold down just to give the other teams a chance to catch up and here they are talking smack.
Guess we are going to have to go back and join Scott next week if they keep this kind of talk up. So much for trying to be nice.

Yeah I had to let most of the servers I was using go back to "normal" company usage but I can't stand to read people sullying the good name of the team my sister and (in a way) I am a part of. I'll do what I can to keep things rolling.

Hey good to hear from you. Thanks for all your help on the Distrubted Folding project while sis was in the race. I still trying to recover from that beating she gave me.

You, and all others for that matter, are a welcome addition to the team.

I hope these guys are listening now because you are a THE major part of Team MacNN on the distributed folding project. These guys may not know the kind of damage that you can inflict but I saw it first hand. Believe me this is not a guy you want working against you.

Thanks again BOE (Brother of Enola)

Don't know if any of you have seen this tread on OCN:

Notice the taste, or lack thereof, with their English?

I think we should join scottheking's effort and take care of the problem.

Sounds to me like it might be time to talk with Howard about locking down the stats generated under a team effort. Maybe we can capture there numbers before they were to leave us. Would that be great?

rkadowns · May 10, 2002, 01:43 PM

And be magically implemented just as the whole OSN team joins us. Wouldn't that be a coincidence?

Can you pass him an email?

amazing what certain levels of intellect find to be "great ideas"

To late I put a message on the DC forum for him.
I'm guessing that I will mail bombed over that request.

The Knights that say NI were the first to exploit the loop hole and they are a good bunch. I guessing that these guys are not as good a group as the Knights.

Shaktai · May 10, 2002, 02:03 PM

Welcome Enola's Brother. You have a real sweat sis, but then I am sure you know that. She has been a great asset to the team. Glad to have both of you on board and joining the fun.

jbcool, you can pass me anytine now in Genome, and then get those boxes back over to DF. I have already pulled my two and put them back on. I'll have my other two switched shortly.

Some folks just don't know when to leave well enough alone. Time to lower the mast on those pirates.

Don't get me wrong I think everyone should have fun on DC projects.
I just think that there are better ways than messing with a teams stats.
I will kick everything over probably Monday when I have the extra time.
Maybe even throw in enough power to keep up with DAlex, Slipjack, and Scott.

Ohmygod!!! I'm away from my desk in meetings all morning and find you here!!!!

I just knew you'd show up eventually. Couldn't resist could you?

Careful. You might come across as one of those "snobby" Mac users.

Good to have you crunching with us. Keep it coming!!

Actually, production has never been higher for OCN.

It just looks low because some members have gone 'no-net' and their completed structures have not yet been uploaded.
