Before I stopped I folded for "any"

 

Now if I was to start again I'd fold for Cancer because I recently just lost my Grandad :(

I personally, when the FAH works. fold for everyone.  I don't care, wether its cancer, Alzimer or whatever other.  science is science. whatever cause you help.


though I should probably do research.  I wonder if there is a algorithme for whats most in need, and what is less in need for folding right away.  perhaps I should code one someday. to help the ones that are more behind.  

I think im going to do some research and perhaps post a suggestion.  ye....

If my laptop were capable of using Folding@Home, I'd probably fold for Alzheimer's.

your laptop can ! any pc is capable of that.

I fold for anything right now. Might start folding for cancer though just because I feel like it might be a good thing to do since my uncle has been having a hell of a time.

 

Before I stopped I folded for "any"

 

Now if I was to start again I'd fold for Cancer because I recently just lost my Grandad :(

I lost my grandpa almost 6 years ago to lung cancer. :( I know them feels, man.

 

your laptop can ! any pc is capable of that.

WRONG. I dare you to try folding on a first-gen Pentium or anything older. Assuming you even got XP to run on one of those, the OS would be hogging up like 90% of the CPU. :P

I feel so bad for all the people here who's lost someone to cancer.

 

This sucks even more since I don't know anyone who I've lost to cancer. The only person I know in my family that's died in recent years died due to a heart attack.

Oh my god that's amazing. I wish my Latitude E4300 had a better cooling solution. This thing gets too hot.

 

What the hell kind of processor does that thing have in it?

and a friggin massive 8A 16v power supply... shame it only had a useless trackpoint

lol I know that feel.

 

SPEAKING OF THAT

 

I managed to find the power brick for my old laptop, and it works (kinda). The display ribbon cable is torn. :/

 

But yeah. All 7MHz of its glory fired up, it's 640K of RAM worked, but I don't think it has the hard drive in it still, or the motor froze up.

all Joking aside, in about a week ill be in college which means free electricity. then is when my folding begins

when I go to college I'm gonna try to get a dorm room to my self and set up a crap ton of bitcoin machines.

3 tips to have a good time on the LTT forums | 1. When you reply to someone please quote them | 2. Please follow your threads | 3. Follow the C.o.C 

If you follow these 3 tips you should have a blast.
