I have successfully used Gruber Power for my APC battery replacement needs. They are much cheaper that batteries+ and APC batteries and seem to do as well.

No, it is not total bull. You can still burn out the phospors in a CRT. It is simply much harder to do, that it used to be. It is totally acceptable to turn down brighness, or even easier, simply turn off the monitor when it is not going to be being used for over 30+ minutes. Like a light...

P4's are the definative folders but the dual cores have much to forgive. The reason P4's do so well with QMD's is because of memory bandwidth. They do not do well because of absolute computing power. increasing the Ghz does little to improve QMD's performance, but increasing RAM bandwidth...

OK, I can see that as a possibility. Weekends it is.

I see, in our stats, that Tea has restarted F@H after a very long absence. Gilbo, also has newly started folding: The more the merrier!

If weekends are your only choice, may I suggest that you use Fire Daemon and then run the F@H as a service (running QMD's) but on a schedule. This has the benefit that you don't have to manually start and stop the folding. However, I really don't see how the 5MB-15MB of ram that normal WU's...

I did a simple google search: 25 Position LGA Test Socket Report (Condensed Version - 9 pages) 25 Position LGA Test Socket Report (Full Version 4.5mb - 115 pages) Electrical Test Report for 25 position LGA socket LGA SOCKETS Land Grid Array - what is it?: Another option...

You only have to specifiy machine numbers if there is more than one instance of F@H running on a specific machine. An active CPU will be missing untill it returns its first WU. Please be paitient. If there are actual issues, then simply check the FAHLOG.TXT file to see what is actually...

I find it hard to believe that small WU's are causing problems in that the normal memory usage of a small WU is less than 15MB. Now, I can see it with large WU's that typically run at 120-375MB.

QMD's are a specific type of WU: Specificly p1910, p1911, p1912's Regarding QMD's and Intel processors: The problem isn't with F@H but with Intel. Specificly an Intel Compiler library and its EULA. The EULA doesn't allow the library to be used on AMD machines and the compiler checks the...

It's the QMD's and their 100% bonus. they are effectively only given out to Intel processors with 512+MB Ram. If you set you machine up with -advmethods and allow large WU's then Intell processors get QMD's almost continiously. Meanwhile, AMD processors only get 100% bonus units occasionally...

Good utility

I don't know but I think Time did a funny by simply pointing out an obvious true-ism. I liked it. Alot

Sony Rootkit removal tool

If you are not seeing anything on the screen and its not going through Post then it most likely isn't a CMOS setup issue, especially if there was power outage right before. Something's been fried! Most likely the motherboard but theres lot to check before a definative answer. Start out first...

And the first bad habit to be treated should be driving with cell phones in operation.

I disagree with your arguement against cell-phones and driving. What you are saying may be correct but it is not the important issue involved. Lets go back to your driving example. First I will agree that there is a trade-off between stimulation and alertness. But that is not the problem...

That's what it is supposed to do. The other thing it does it teach me about the tools, how to use them, and thought processes in diagnosing such.

A very good read.

I'd say that Pradeep is gunning for #1 billing with all his new horsepower.

Please, get permission before folding on work machines: It's not worth risking your job. Other than that proviso, if the sneaker net is working, then all is right in the world.

Looking at our stats, some observations. Welcome Andy - our newest folder. i has drasticly increased his folding production this past week. Cougtek after reconfiguring his client is doing much better at producing team points. After a long absense, Bartender is again folding. The race for...

When dealing with a new Super-Computer one has to take the flops numbers with a large grain of salt. The standard is to quote the theoretical maximum and rarely give useable numbers. Their point is marketing and to get to the top of the list and if they can streach the numbers, you can bet...

You need to consider the BW of the busses and slots on your server to figure out how many Gb cards your server can deal with. A single Gb card can max-out the usable BW of a standard PCI bus. That means for multiple Gb cards you need to be using PCI-X slots. A single 133MHz PCI-x (1.0b) bus...

Lens(es) - What you are going to take pictures of determines what lenses you need. Macro, Wide-angel, landscapes, ... and then there is the quality levels - i.e. non-Canon, standard Canon or L-Series. It can start costing a few $$$

I have to, unfortunately, admit that Tannin is correct -- Utter horseshit.

A shutdown problem that is preceeded by a noise -- Sounds like a failed fan to me. There are only 4 fan's inside a machine that can cause this: CPU, chipset, power-supply, and video card. ID the one and replace it... The other alternative is that you actually have an alarm going off (Fan...

Instructions for manually adding parameters when the console is operated as a service: 1/ Shut down that instance through the Services manager snap-in 2/ Run regedit and go to key HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\<service name> and edit the entry ImagePath, adding whatever flags you wish...

To me, these are Great. They stand out from the crowd. 1. Stargate SG-1 2. The Andy Giffith Show 3. Dr. Who 4. The Avengers 5. Scientific Americian Frontiers 6. Mission Impossible 7. Star Trek TNG 8. The Carol Bernett Show 9. Mash 10. The Waltons

Ah, but the free versions still exist, they are simply no longer supported by the original company. I did a google search and came up with: FireDaemon-Lite-1_6-GA.exe This will work for one service. If you need more than one, then you would have to get the pro version and that has always cost...

Your boxes will be more slightly responsive if you simply have HT turned on with one F@H client per box. The only disavantage is that the task manager lists the CPU usage at 50% rather than 100%.

Drop the -service parameter for the console unless you are running the console as a service. If you are going to operate F@H as a service then you will need to edit the registry to add the parameters. The alternative is to use a program like FireDaemon (what I use) to run F@H as a service and...

I have 3 P4 3.2GHz's with 512MB Ram running 24x7 and they each get around 450 points per day (The majority of my points, the rest of my machines are folding beta-units which tend to get junk points). They get continious QMD's (p1910, p1911, p1912) I have them configured with a single F@H...

That makes no sense. 70 3.0GHz P4's munching QMD's would produce around 28,000 per day. I find it absurb that we suddenly need to quadruple our output just to stay even. 10 additional 3.0 GHz P4's (Mixed QMD's and non-QMD's) to move our daily production from 9000 to 11,500 would get us on an...

Neither the 939 or the 940 will be good for two years or more as both being replaced in 2006.

I can get there fine

I have never heard of such a useage from anything even close to a reliable source. If it was occuring then a simple lawsuit would have ensued that would have cleared up any such behavior: The potential harm to the goverments reputation would be far to great for them to do anything other than...

The govt and the laser copier/printer firms have been collaborating on this for decades. Those marks have been well known about and used throughout the justice system to prove when and who printed specific documents. By no means has the usage been limited to counterfeiting. I don't see a...

A Kludge, but maybe it will work for you Use the terminal services client for access to the workstation. You can run that at scheduled times, give it a username/password for auto-logon, and even shut it down at scheduled times. If you need more security than simply starting and stopping the...

Mannually deleting the cookie fixed the problem. Thanks

Yes, there is a cookie with the proper name. Yes, the contents contain phpbb2mysqlsf2_data and a bunch of what appears to be binary data. No, the browser does not delete data upon exit. I will manually delete the cookie and see if that fixes it.

For some reason the forums will no longer auto-login. Yes, i did the normal stuff like clearing the cookies and cache in IE6.

It was a big deal back then and if I remember my history correctly M$ admitted the practice and changed it so as to not send inappropiate data back.

Very old news - look at the date: Feb 26, 2003

Yes, but I can't correct it by editing it.

Congrats should be going out to the entire SR team - As a group, we have completed 4,000,000 points!

Thanks, First year 60,000 Second year 300,000 Third year 1,200,000 (estimate) It's hard to believe that this project has been running almost 3 years. Now onward and upward to 2,000,000+

My personal favorite was Logstat but it hasn't been updated so long that most WU's don't even showup properly: It was perfect, but now it is basicly useless. The one I'm currently using is FahMon: I don't really like it, but it does the job. Most people use EMIII, but I find it to be...
