Big respect to all that have had experience of cancer (either themselves or a friend or family member).

Glad to be a fk'er :D
I'll change my footer in a minute and then join the league !!! AMD 850 with 256 RAM should be sufficient I bet :)

Ro.
850 is great!!! I have a 533 and 233, and it's running great. Glad to learn that you are also going to keep it on at home. :)Quote:

I'm downloading the program right now... my aunt has cancer in the brain, they tried removing it, and now we all hope it's totally gone. Lot's of people in my family have cancer, so i really hope my lil' cel. 466 w. 64 mb RAM can make a difference. i'll join team flashkit asap, but first i'm going to do some flash programming :)
sorry to hear that mate, hopefully it's totally gone. the 466 will make a dif :) i've got a 233 hooked up to this lol... doesn't matter if u join team FK or not, but it'd be cool if you do :D
Welcome to flashkit Dexter87, i'm sorry to hear about your aunt, i hope she pulls through OK!
My aunt has breast cancer, she's been going to Kemo treatments in Holland and I think/hope she's going to OK now.
Cancer effects 1 in 3 people in some way during their lives, so this THINK Life Science thing is a brillant idea!!
Anyway, nice to meet you! :)
Juels
juels, you are going GREAT!!! you've got #1 position and have crunched a lot of work units - WELL DONE! :D RazoRmedia is going great 2
thanks hobbi,
This is such a good thread hobbi, i'm so glad you started it, nice one mate! :)
Juels
i didn't expect such a good response, i was waiting to be flamed for this... for keeping it going so long. i was hoping for 2 or 3 but 25 and a mention on the front page, as well in lots of footers this is rocking :)Quote:

Juels
YOu said something about 25 members ?
Is that FK members only ? Where do I sign up ? Already have to program running for about 2/3 months I guess
yeah, there are 26 members - all flashkit. we have crunched 353 work units :D :D :D
to join the team this is our url - http://members.ud.com/services/teams...D-A4466212D5EA if anyone knows of a better picture to use let me know :)
For a better pic, use DaPurno's footer :)
WEll I didnt had any idea for my footer and I wanted to be a little different and maybe original (Dot-matrix art :)) so just made this :cool:
i reckon it looks cool, did u do it in photoshop? i wish i knew photoshop, i am too lazy to learn it
Made it with a tool for creating ASCII art...You can import text and it converts that to ASCII, but I imported the FK-logo :cool:
Nothing hard about that, but looks funny I think ! :)
it looks even cooler if you set the quality to low :D
I signed up for the team, too bad I didnt do this sooner cause my task in the program is almost finished :(
But done some good stuff anyhow !
nah you're okay DaPurno - it doesn't count towards FK's score til you finish, so if you're nearly finish and you sign up then it'll count :)
mine is just mins away...lets see what happens now !
Yeah, you're right. Maybe something with ASCII art and Flash Low-Quality?Quote:

I am just about to sign up myself, and I have placed a wee link in the announcments to go up tomorrow to Team Flash Kit!
Lets be the team that wins!
VIVA FK!
Hey Mark,
Nice see you with us :) We'll show the world the power of flashkit.com!!!!
Juels
yeah, good to have you on board mark, specially with your beast of a computer!! that's cool as with the announcement :D let's go team flashkit!!!
Signed up a little over an hour ago, I'm at 24%.
this is for those who aren't sure what this is all about.
quick info
- This will not noticably affect your computers performance as the program is set to low priority so it uses free cpu resources only
- There are prizes to be won!!
- download here
- join team flashkit here
- Team FK needs YOU
long info
this is a distrubiting computer effort much like seti@home that utilises the power of hundreds of thousands of computers around the world. All these computers are simutaniously searching for a cure for cancer to put it bluntly, by using the computer to simulate chemical reactions and send the results back. the results are analyzed, and if some are found to be good further research is conducted on that and eventually, this could lead to a drug that cures cancer.
You have to download a program with runs at low priority, so it only uses unused computer resources so you won't know it's active. or you can simply run it as a screensaver so it only runs when you're not using the computer. Every so often the program communicates with the saver to send/receive work units and keep going. The company, United Devices, will donate webmiles to the Starlight Childrens foundation based on the amount of work units completed, so there is another good cause of this program. If a cure is found, it won't be sold, it will be freely available. This project is supported by INTEL, the cancer society and Oxford University. You can win prizes, there are tens of thousands of dollars of prizes to be given away including flights, computer packages and cold hard cash.
CANCER FACT —
Cancer is the second leading cause of death in the US, exceeded only by heart disease
there are teams, which compete against each other. we have a team, team flashkit. we have 29 members and have crunched 394 work units. check out page 1 of this thread to see a screenshot of the program.
this is a great cause, and a chance to prove that Flashkit kicks arse, let's show the other teams what we're made of :D even if you have a pentium 166 still sign up, it will make a difference!
so sign up now, and check out the website for more information.
find out more about the cancer research project here and here
once you have signed up
once you have signed up, it would be nice if you put a link in your footer to this thread, to encourage others to sign up. to do that, edit your profile and on your signature put this along anything else there, or change it to whatever you like...

And remember, your P166 could be the one that finds a cure. This is like "It takes millions of drops of water to make an ocean."Quote:

Hey Hobbi,
I want to thank you for linking me to United Devices. My my Best Friend is dying of Cancer and I have been watching her suffer through the past year. I'm afraid she doesn't have much time left, she's had all the treatment and surgery her body can take.
It feels good to know now that I'm actually doing something to help. I'm even thinking of putting my current flash project on hold and start another dedicated to this worthy cause. I hope someday soon we will reign victorious!
Cheers to Team Flashkit!

I just joined. This program won't mess up my computer will it? ;)
no, it won't muck up your computer, it runs at low priority so it uses free cpu resources, it's as if it isn't there almostQuote:
