1) Message boards : Rosetta@home Science : A possible cure for Cancer (Message 37745) Posted 13 Mar 2007 by jhludlow Post: Thank-you David. I'm happy to hear that cancer research continues to be a priority and, most especially, that you are getting some results. I see that you replied to my question on the same day that I posted it. I think it's fairly amazing how responsive you are to us. I belonged to another site for several years which almost never shared what was going on. They seemed to take their network for granted. Not the case here, obviously. I spent a year at a major cancer research hospital in Texas supporting someone who ultimately died. While I was there I learned that they received over 3,000 new cancer patients every day, six days per week. 18,000 new patients every week; nearly a million NEW patients every year. And, of course, this is just one hospital and these are only cancer victims for which the standard of care has already failed. It wasn't until then that the scope of the cancer problem really hit home for me. When I returned I searched for a project that was working on a solution to the problem so that I could help make a small difference by contributing my computer time. That's why it's important to me that cancer research is important to Rosetta too.
2) Message boards : Rosetta@home Science : A possible cure for Cancer (Message 37366) Posted 4 Mar 2007 by jhludlow Post: Speaking of cancer cures... Does anyone know what has become of the effort at Rosetta@Home to find a cure for cancer? I only pay attention to what's happening at Rosetta every once in awhile. But, I've noticed that the last few of David's blogs are all about removing carbon from the atmosphere and finding a cure for HIV. Both worthy goals. But, the search for a cancer cure is especially important to me and I elected to devote my computer time to Rosetta@Home, rather than some other efforts, because finding a cancer cure was one of it's priorities. Does anyone know whether that is that no longer the case and, if so, why?
3) Questions and Answers : Windows : Causing two instances on same computer to use same Rosetta files (Message 30296) Posted 30 Oct 2006 by jhludlow Post: Thanks, y'all. Your solution worked perfectly.
4) Questions and Answers : Windows : Causing two instances on same computer to use same Rosetta files (Message 30148) Posted 27 Oct 2006 by jhludlow Post: I have a computer with two Windows instances on it. Currently, I have Rosetta@Home running on one of them. I would like to get it running on the other one too - but, I'd rather that both instances worked on the same files. It's Windows, so there would never be a case in which both are concurrent. Is this possible? Thanks!
5) Questions and Answers : Windows : Constantly communicating with internet (Message 18859) Posted 17 Jun 2006 by jhludlow Post: I set this preference: Connect to network about every to: 0.1 days ...and yet my firewall's internet use indicator has been going constantly ever since I installed Rosetta@Home and Boinc. Shouldn't "0.1 days" mean "once every 2.4 hours"? What's going on here and how can I make it obey my preference? The internet traffic continues even when I tell Rosetta to go into 'snooze' mode. At that point, the processor traffic stops, but the internet traffic is uneffected.
