good , i was going to post in this thread , okey is this file msgsys.exe has something to do with this software ?
and yes i installed the software almost on every computer running on my network :) May God Bless us .
and i read this in the newspaper that Vitamins dont help cure Cancer and heart patients but they even dont cause any problems , research on cancer cure by use of Vitmains resulted nothing but waste of time .
and i did i told u my girlfriend got Multiple Myeloma Cancer :( well May God Bless all of them and us a healthy life and may this research lead to a possible cure :) love u fizoo
just keeping this thread alive.. shamed though to admit that i haven't even been in to flashkit.com in so long time.. been too busy with other stuff.
anyway shout out to everyone "I'm still here!! :)"
WHOA hadn't seen this thread in ages...
:eek:
:)
GOOD GOD! :eek: this is the biggest thread i've ever seen!!! :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: ;)

hi everyone
for those od you that don't already click as often as you can, have a look at http://www.thebreastcancersite.com and click on the donate button to help them give mammograms to women that otherwise would not be able to afford them, and hopefully save some of their lives.
the money is provided by the site's sponsors on a pay per click basis - so visit as often as you remember, i have the site in my favorites list and that prompts me to go every time open that.
keep up the good work on the ud end of things
peace and love

Geeks united: Screensavers solve protein puzzle
PARIS (AFP) - Thousands of desktop computers working together in their spare time have resolved a long-standing biological puzzle, in a breakthrough in data processing.
The Nature journal reported Wednesday that a team led by Vijay Pande of Stanford University in California put out a call two years ago for PC owners to make idle computers available to crack a monster of a problem: how the atoms of a protein cause it to fold into a 3D knot.
Understanding this could help drugs designers come up with molecules to attack Alzheimer's and the human form of mad-cow disease, both of which are caused by misfolding, rogue proteins.
Pande's project, FoldingAhome, assembled 200,000 volunteers, who each downloaded a programme which swung into work after their computer had been idle for a certain time, Nature said on its website (www.nature.com).
The software comprised a swirling screensaver and a data analysis programme, which crunched through a specific number-crunching task set by FoldingAhome. When the results were completed, they were then sent back online to FoldingAhome.
The average daily task set by each computer was to simulate, atom by atom, a millionth of a second of protein folding.
In all, it took 2,000 years of computer time to crack.
Several supercomputers, working together, could have addressed the same problem, but even so this would have taken a lot of time. These super-brains are also very expensive and scientists usually have limited access to them.
"It's a big breakthrough," protein structure researcher Michael Levitt, also at Stanford, told Nature.
Proteins are sequences of amino acids that not only comprise the body's tissues but also play the role of builder, repairer and messenger, teaming up with other proteins to do so.
Pande's challenge was huge.
"Trying to anticipate how the many atoms within a protein interact as it crumples up is a mind-bending problem, involving a billion steps," Nature said.
"Like entering a maze, the molecular backbone can start looping up in numerous different ways, yet most paths lead to dead ends."
FoldingAhome's final simulation about the way and speed at which the protein folds corresponds tidily with lab measurements. The molecule twists itself up at astonishing speed -- just five thousandths of a second.
The screensaver technique, called distributed computing, was pioneered several years ago by a scheme called SETIAhome, a "planetary search" for signals beamed from space by putative extraterrestrials.
The ongoing programme harnesses the idle computers of volunteers to sift through data picked up by radiotelescopes.
SETIAhome's website says that more than four million people have now signed up, and nearly 1.2 million years of computer time have been spent in the hunt.
:)
so, those of you who haven't... go download that cancer screensaver!!!
:cool:
hear hear!
all of those who are'nt members already please join
peace and love

well im happy to say that i went and grabbed the software again after like a year of not using it! :smoov: <sarcasm>who da man?</sarcasm>
i notice we're not doing to well against the other groups... :( but hey.. we're still contributing right? Im gonna leave mine on until im in the top 10! How bout that for a newyears resolution? hehe
*bump*
Reminding people of this project, hopeing some new members will sign up.
so i should sign up to find a "possible" solution to cancer, wich the pharmacy conglomerate is going to sell against high prices to people who seem to be in the need of this drug. now this may sound weird but if they are making money of it they can sure as hell buy a computer to simulate it!! just reminding people of that
I understand your concern. Yes, the drug will probably be sold at a pretty high cost, but current cancer treatment is also very expensive and very painfull.Quote:

Sure they can buy a computer, heck they can probably buy 10,000 computers.
Thats not the point, right now there is over 1 million computers working together, I think there has been around 750,000 years (someone can check that figure) of prossesing done.
If one company would do this it would be incediably expensive not only to buy the systems, but to provide power, to cool the building they where in. The logistics of it would make it pretty much impossible.
The choice is yours, whether or not you would like to sign up.
i think your kinda exegarurating that it would be pretty much impossible.
remember nvidia ibm ati etc.. all have such computer farms. Nvidia's farm alone is pretty impressive. and what they produce is like nothing compared to the pharmacy industry. a graphics card costs about 400 dollar's tops. now drugs will easily cost you more. especially because you have to buy more and more.
now don't get me wrong i do want a cure for cancer but who is going to give me the garantue that some pharmacy company isn't going to keep it expensive for everyone?
http://members.ud.com/services/teams...7-285A16CD1728
this is the team I'm on already, started almost 2 years ago. I was doing it on 5 PCs, 4 being PCs i use at work, and then stories were going around about a guy that put SETI on a bunch of PCs at his school where he worked at a PC lab, and he was arrested and charged with Hacking and some other crap. The School said it cost them x amount of dollars to uninstall the program and that the "experts" they had didn't know what the program was and thought it was some kind of tojan or something. Well they said he was basically "stealing" their resources and last i heard the case was still pending. So at that time I thought would be best to take them off.. so I did. and in the process when i reinstalled windows i never put the UD agent on my home PC. But I put it on again about 2 months ago and back at it.
I ment it nearly impossible in the fact that they would have to have a power substation of sorts to power that many computers, let alone run enough AC units to keep the place cool.Quote:

well it doesn't seem that impossible to ati nvidia ibm etc...
btw ibm is selling cpupower on demand, so if they would buy alot from them all is wel :P
btw did you know that shell owns one of the largest supercomputers on the earth :P (well it did anyway) it had like a few million dual pentium 3 if i'm not mistaking. now you don't see shell charging more then $2 per leter gasoline :)
well i went from dead last a month ago to 85th place! looks like i might make top 10 by the end of the year after all hehe.
Nice going! I haven't checked my score in a while but then again i've had a few problems with my computer so its hasn't changed much lately :(Quote:

Keep on going everyone! :)
I think alot of large companies are looking into Distributing Computing.. hhehe Not sure where I read it.. maybe it was CPU Power magazine or something, but companies, specially large companies will have thier employees running a service in the background using up all their unused CPU cycles, since most office and work places that have PCs, people are just running Word or Excel or something and checking email like 90% of their CPU cycles go unused. So could see alot of BIG companies selling out their CPU time.
Wow haven't seen this thread in awhile. I went to the site and still saw I have a few devices running and getting points, im still in the top 20 I think. LOL I totally forgot about this, those devices must be from computers I installed it on at work. Nice to see the team is still going.

Razors back in the game
Im back on board! ;)
