I am already giving full dual cpu time 24hours a day.

Yep, that is great. Keep it up. :Thumbsup here: But it is not quite what I meant.

I dont want to get too off topic here as this thread is about publicity for Rosetta. I see you have a 3 hour setting set in preferences which is producing anything from 1 to 6 models for that 3 hour run on the Casp jobs. What I was wondering was would it be helpful to have more or less models per job by adjusting the run time during Casp ? Or does it not matter either way ?

I would recommend a bit longer wu setting (~8hr) if everything is running smoothly on your computer to reduce net traffic a bit. thanks, David

With three targets out already, is the hope to submit answers for all of them? Or are some targets focused on areas the Rosetta folks don't work on?

we are going to do all of them!

laurelin, we got way off topic there on you. It looks like all you have left is the narration for that first "intro. to folding" video? I can't wait to have the complete picture of what you are illustraiting there.

Any update on the other video projects?

Laura has been filming us for the rosetta@home video--and some of us are learning how bad we are on camera, myself included!

This may be a bit off topic perhaps. But I try not to make new threads. Why have none of my machines downloaded the latest Rosetta client? One d/l a new unit a few hours ago but it's still the old version. Furthermore, one unit seems to be sticking and the messages say it is operating on the earliest deadline first premise. Mainly though I'm interested in why my machines haven't d/l the newest version yet.

Are you running a large queue? My machines connect about every 2 hours and the 5.07 application came down within 4 hours of the deployment with the first new Work Unit that arrived. However, my queue was empty. In any case you will get it sooner or later, because the 5.06 application is no longer being sent out, and eventually you will run out of 5.06 work.

Humm i dont have a top 10 but here is a thouhgt. My main reason for doing this is to help increase our understanding of protiens and how they can be used to make the human condistion better for all of us. Would be super to see a cure or a drug that would help the suffering that is going on throught the world. But thna agian even if we never find any of those great things just the work that we do here will help out some where else in the future

Hmmmm.....logic 101.

Don't contradict yourself.

I didn't ! Please try to read carefully what I wrote. I said: "...they could TRY to sell the drug ... but so could their competitors who did not do human testing". If you try to sell something, it may happen that no one will buy your product at the price you need to charge to recoup your upfront costs (you could still sell the product at a lower price but would end up with a loss), the reason being that your competitors didn't have those upfront expenses in the first place (no human testing) and so will make a profit even at the lower price.
