Folding Forum

I think we've all faced it... we know the end results now and that's good. Question is how many now burned will turn to other methods of Folding? I don't think that outcome is going to be something that will make the thank you blog any time soon.

I actually had this long drawn out thought but I found it a bit complex and wordy. So I did the Readers Digest version of it. Since there is really no way 'actual contributions' to the topic are met with any real action (other than cancellation of projects) what is the point of making 'actual contri...

Civility and politeness often is used to disguise contempt and misinformation.

I for one believe that a coarse language often describes in great detail the truth.

Hmmm... politics... truth.

Ah... but then again one doesn't need to gnosh a crap sandwich unless so inclined either.

Those declining numbers sure do look scary. But cherry picking a thin slice of the total picture is not truly informative. That's why they added a new column to the osstats page showing active cores, not just active clients. With the world constantly upgrading from P4s to Dual Cores to Quad cores a...

Thank you Dr. Pande for taking time in responding. Passions run deep on both sides, hopefully all this will bring out a better F@H experience for us all. Thanks again to bruce and the other admin for letting this all play out, it must have been tuff. "Tuff" to see clear statements of talk...

Thank you for the post Dr. Pande. I am looking forward to more and meaningful communications with your group. However, you still have not addressed what brought this whole episode into being. Just why is the BA requirements being changed? I also do not see any indication the change is being put on ...

And on that note Dr. Pande I appreciate the candor and frankness exhibited. I'm not against FAH but I am rather adamant about the way things are often projected on forums. The language oft times is terse leading to misinterpretation by all who read this (and other) forums. Communication as you noted...

If we had the funds to build what they (Facebook and Google -- ed.) do, we wouldn't be running a volunteer distributed computing project, but just computing directly on that infrastructure, as we have done in a recent collaboration with Google. This says it all... they would if they could drop dono...

Sorry to say but I'm busy Crunching WCG and BOINC projects. My 4P-48C isn't going to be affected by this change but I must say with the lack of information, poor communication and above all else the 'your a donor' shut up attitude and holier than thou approach to donors it was inevitable. I've enjoy...

It's not the thank you's... it's the way they do it... as if it is secondary to their needs in my mind. I don't require thank you's. I do require stability and that is something we do not have here. I do require a road map and that is something not presented now or in the past. I do require that thi...

So PG is poor at administration, in your opinion. Do you think that gives you the right to second guess their administrative decisions for the project? Yes, that is exactly what any sane person does when making a donation. They evaluate how a charity uses their donation. They should look to see how...

Second guess... no. Opt out if I so desire because of poor donor relations? A definitive yes. Judging by the number of machines/cpu's declining on a monthly basis I think there are far graver problems here than trying to posture yourself for PG supporter of the year. Truth told PG screwed this pooch...

What was 222,988 active machines on Jan. 6, 2014 is now down to 220,854 as of 3:30 AM PST. A loss of 2,134 machines. Remarkable since on my team the folding for dollars normally bumps up the active machine count. Between all the other DC projects out there and coin mining it won't be long before thi...

Imagine that disgruntled donors! I for one count myself among them. I have no problem ceasing to fold if this pans out the way I believe it will. I'll be pleasantly surprised if it doesn't. That said as a disgruntled donor collecting information and acting upon when I see enough to justify my stay h...
