Hey F@Homers, I wasn't aware of this, not sure if you are either, but I just realized F@H works even if your not connected to the internet, ( I unplugged ethernet cable from modem) and i was still able to fold. I think thats cool, coz i thought you had to be online..... HOWEVER you do need to connect to the net to SEND your WU's and to be able to DOWNLOAD a new one. might be handy for some body to know..!! Im not sure what would happen if it completed a WU (gets to 100%) i think it might just stay completed till you download a new 1 (connected to the net)

Yo Chris man I only found this out recently too bro because my net disconnected but folding@home was still going! Thanks for that info man because I wasn't sure what was happening!

Winnie says:

Yeah, the actual folding just uses the PS3's CPUs. Internet is only needed for downloading and uploading.\

I'll make a request to send a PM to new members about the F@H team.

lol - u know this is one reason why its so hard to recruit folders... so many think that it constantly sucks your bandwith & people are afraid of using their month's quota in a week - thats fair enough (if it was the case). Thats why i always state, it only uses the net at the start and end, bout 3-5mb (can easily be less) tops of quota each download.

keep up the good work guys - yous are goin awesome as
i just had someone join my team anonymously! how good lol must be all those youtube comments i make lol

yous really ought to build yaself as a top foldin team - PS3 teams are climbin the stats so damn fast, you guys just need more members. Keep up ya good recruitin, hopefully MyPS3 AU can be in the top 500 teams by Christmas.. but theres gotta be a lotta hard work recruitin until then

Cheers

dammit, a footballer that i didn't snag for my team Aussie Rules Footy! lol kiddin, it doesn't matter what team ur in, as long as the results get back to Stanford.

More importantly tho liam_w, u must play Footy for Benalla? Which Benalla team u play for, the GV one (saints i think?), or All-blacks (i think thats what it is?)? I used to play for Dookie back in '04 (Thirds) when Central Goulburn league was still in.. u play then?

liam_w says:

Hey Ash, nah I just play regional footy. In the Benalla and District footy league. For Swanpool.
We didnt go well this season But its still fun!
I hate All Blacks cos they are all drugoes and (insert colourful exlicit language)! And Saints... they are very Jocky and piss on each other and stuff. Freaks.

smASHer says:

lol too bad for Benalla! did u know a kid called 'Baldy'? I remember we bet them in our first game for the year, and during the 2nd game of the year, i was asked to defend on him (im ussually center half or full-forward), and he kept tryin to fight me.. mind you hes a big guy, and probably woulda bet me in a fight, but he kept swingin slaps and scratched me across the face just coz i kept nudgin him and puttin my shoulder in front of his lol he was so cut lol, i wouldn't cared if he had tried to fight me, coz i woulda got in my punches! lol

smASHer says:

bad news on PS3 foldin for me, my boss has told me to get the lcd tv out of the display cabinet i've got the PS3 sittin in, so i can no longer fold.. FOR NOW! Hes complainin im not showin any games & stuff off (he doesn't know what im doin lol). Hopefully i can makeup an excuse to keep a display in there, maybe i can convince him i can run demo discs on it for a while, see what he thinks.. and i'll try and switch it over to folding@home before we go home, so i can atleast still fold overnite.

How about when you're selling the PS3, tell the customer about F@H?

What customer? lol seriously tho, i dont think our store sells many PS3s at all, i haven't personally sold one yet.. i've helped a lady look for the Playstation 2 game compatibility list website because she alreaday had a PS3 & i sold her two clearance PS2 games.
I was thinkin of making up my own nice neat short flyer to stick inside all the PS3 boxes, but i'd have to get my boss to allow me to do that.

Best thing we can do guys is just keep spreading the word about Folding@Home to friends & family, whether its on their PS3s or computers (as well!)

Cheers
