Re: Responses To A Decade of F@H!
My first WU went home a few moments before noon Standford time on 12-30-2001. I believe my first folding beast was a PIII750.
Happy Anniversary, Pande Group and all you folders!

Re: Responses To A Decade of F@H!
I started in March 2007 with the PS3 client, and I caught a severe case of the folding bug starting later that year. I wish I had heard of the project sooner, even though my contributions back then wouldn't have been very great.
I'm glad I'm here for the 10th anniversary, and I'm looking forward to the next decade of folding.

When do you guys expect a cure based on our folding ? At the 20th birthday of F@H ?
Fold on !

If you are interested in the science that have been published and peer reviewed, here is the link -> http://folding.stanford.edu/English/PapersMagic Michael wrote:When do you guys expect a cure based on our folding ? At the 20th birthday of F@H ?...
AFIAK, the science that is done is made available to everyone. F@h studies the "cause" while the pharmaceutical companies develop the "cure" based on the "cause" that the scientists have discovered (I could be wrong though).

Re: Responses To A Decade of F@H!
I started about a month after F@H went on-line so I've been at it for almost the whole ten years. I'll keep folding as long as the project is around.
Congrats to the Pande Group and thank you for your hard work.

Re: Responses To A Decade of F@H!
I've only spent an interesting 3 1/2 years here, but we all have to start sometime.
Fold on, my brothers and sisters.
Please bury us in WUs for many more years.

Re: Responses To A Decade of F@H!
I've been folding roughly since version 4.0 of the client, I'm not sure if it was before or after I got a first generation Apple G5 system. It was after seti@home ran out of gas, they said it would take two years, I participated for two years, they found nothing, I beta tested the mac client on that one. Before that I had run the client at dnet mainly known for RC5. I think it was before the G5 system though, because I was running it on a windows system I had built for animation stuff, AthlonXP 1800+ based system.
It was while I was still living at my Dads and after specs howard school of broadcast arts, was trying to decide on more schooling. But before my internship. Friend that was attending Stanford University that I had gone to highschool with introduced me to the project. It was back when the main url wasn't folding.stanford.edu, it was something else with the subdirectory '/' thingy ending in /pandegroup
The main thing that drew me into the project is that the results are open source. It was long long before I learned my Dad has Parkinsans disease.
I have no clue how many points I have and I don't care. I'm in this for the science.

I forgot what i had in here last time.
Re: Responses To A Decade of F@H!
congrats to the ten.
my nickname has had several variants, and remember the first very days of folding from the beginning. Not sure to be a hoax or not, rather bizarre concept.
I started in 1998 with a pentium2, so it is not all that slow to think of the past...the few years that followed 98 had more than folding leaping out at us. Entire chipsets were doomed, dial up modems junked, ISDN dual phone lines, all now ridiculous. The big net crash, re-emerging a much better discipline.Ten years in computing is alot for this time frame.
82801 is a number I don't forget.
It is funny to think how easy every aspect of a computer was hackable even by accident.
I do have a question about usernames and beginnings.. how do I find where my current name began?
I did have some end, and I just simply came back another time.

On a related note, it was 11 years ago yesterday (Oct 22nd, 1999) when Vijay and I met, and we started this whole mess.

Re: Responses To A Decade of F@H!
Well Adam doesn't deserve the blame, especially since his contribution was primarily the library we used for networking (Cosm), rather than any of the Folding@home specific elements. It was helpful to have his general advice on distributed computing and especially the Cosm SDK in the early days (particularly for the fast, multi-threaded http library), although since then we've been working to upgrade FAH to a newer library (in the v5/v6 WS and v7 client), especially to help with proxy support (which has been a nagging issue in FAH for years).uncle fuzzy wrote:Now we know...it's all Adam's fault.Beberg wrote:On a related note, it was 11 years ago yesterday (Oct 22nd, 1999) when Vijay and I met, and we started this whole mess.

Re: Responses To A Decade of F@H!
I have only been folding for a few years (circa 2007), but when I really got into the idea, I end up spending a majority of my inheritance money to build machines for the main purpose of folding. I will continue to invest in new hardware when ever I can.
