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?

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.
bumpety bump
Razors back in the game
Im back on board! ;)
