A Challenge
(Message 24828)
Posted 25 Aug 2006 by DCManiak Post: what happened to the challenge here? There's a new credit system that awards the computers that produce more structures so what computers produce the most? Furthermore, there is less than 20% of the team left to participate in the challenge, even if they wanted to. |

Posted 24 Aug 2006 by DCManiak Post: I have a right to my opinion? Apparently not, by your actions. BUT, if I do, here is another one. These boards now contain too many elements that like to use fascistic tactics to promote their own agenda and to suppress anything that is contrary to that. My honest opinion. No need to answer. I'm not stating a fact, just my belief, my opinion, how I see it. Thank you for letting me share. ( edit was to correct spelling ) |

What inspires you about Rosetta@Home?
(Message 24481)
Posted 24 Aug 2006 by DCManiak Post: I used to be inspired by this project alot. I felt it held out hope for advances in science to perhaps one day get a handle on major diseases, such as cancer. I have since lost faith in the project's administration, though. Most likely my main goal, now, in Rosetta, is to achieve a RAC of zero. It may take a while, but I'll most likely get there. I am actively searching for a new DC project that, to me, I can have more faith in. |

Building a new crunching rig?
(Message 24480)
Posted 24 Aug 2006 by DCManiak Post: G.Skill makes some awesome memory. I haven't had that particular set, but I've had two other sets, and they've been champs. I am running a stock C2D fan on an E6400 in a caseless system. I've turned off all the machines in that room 'cept that one and I can't hear it running. So, I don't think it is loud at all. ...then again I had a lot of high powered machines running, so I may be going deaf! |

Personal Milestones
(Message 24217)
Posted 22 Aug 2006 by DCManiak Post: Got to 150th in UD before abandoning it for FaD. Hit 5th in FaD, but settled back to like 12th or 13th by the project's ( sad ) end, due to emphasizing D2OL. When D2OL became totally unresponsive to the contributors ( us crunchers )I stopped crunching that ( was 36th I think ). Joined Rosetta and got up into the 50's with my first team, but then joined another ( realized I was spending 98% of my time at my current team's website, so why not crunch for them? ). Coming up on 3.5 million combined points. Yes, my electric company loves me! :) |

Posted 19 Aug 2006 by DCManiak Post: we will NOT be backdating credit totals Good move, doesn't get any simpler put than that. Of course, I'm sure some will try to limit what that means or interpret it differently. |

New credit system now being tested at RALPH@home
(Message 22499)
Posted 16 Aug 2006 by DCManiak Post: I agree with the need to change the credit granting process. Change it going forward. If you change it going backwards, then I believe many will leave. This isn't the only worthy DC project. I've run UD, D2OL, and FaD. And now Rosetta. I've put alot of my own resources into these projects, both in terms of hardware expenditures and $$ for power. To go and negate credit based on past crunching is xtremely distasteful to me. If that is what my contributions to this project get me, I would have to seriously reconsider my up-til-now loyalty to this project, as much as I like it and respect the science being done. Also, credit based on what system is being reported instead of the amount of actual work being done is, in my opinion, going down the wrong road. I guarantee you, my x2 3800+, overclocked, is doing more work than a system with the same processor. The system that puts out more work should get more credit. |

Posted 20 Jul 2006 by DCManiak Post: Now I don't feel so bad after seeing your power bill. :) All machines here run Rosetta 24/7 I use to run all single core, 25 of them. Now all my machines 'cepting two are dual core or dual CPU. |

Posted 8 May 2006 by DCManiak Post:
Actually, you caught those numbers after they'd just changed. Xtremesystems has finally caught up to and overtaken DPC for total credit ( 2nd place ), and is moving ahead and creating seperation. Free-DC is indeed ahead, but, lately, has not been putting out all that it can in Rosetta. Expect Free-DC's numbers to go up ( indeed, they've already started to rise ) as they move to fend of the challenge by Xtremesystems. Scott |
