Saving lives with your computer.

Recommended Posts

My desktop is fairly up to date and I've only gotten 5 units completed in about the same amount of time.

Until I saw your post I had totally forgotten it was running in the background. My computer stays on 24/7, so I never think about it!
Killing threads since 2004.

I've slacked a tad bit. It's going on my 2 laptops (one a dino-266PII, one a decent setup-Athlon XP-M 1.6G). I just decided to wipe my desktop (long story, involving a DOA 250gig firewire drive and frustration) and install Linux. I'm loving the Linux, but still having problems getting the Linux FaH console to run. That suchs too, since my desktop is the fastest system I hove going right now, with an Athlon XP 2G. :S

Better to beg forgiveness
than to ask permission;):ph34r:


Actually, every one of them runs XP, and they are reaaaaaly secure. Locked up tighter than a chastity belt. I need to get 'inside'....

Muuuaaahahahahaha!


There is a position open in workstation support, and so far I'm the front runner for the job.

Those workstations are divided pretty evenly between PIII 933's and 3Ghz P4's.

With that kind of processing power, maybe I could help lift dropzone.com from its lowly 80th position.

Oh, yea, I've just been running the screensaver of FAH. Anyone know if they made it any easier to install as a hidden service (ie. without firedaemon)?

It's still up in the air if I'll get in with the campus IT department. If so, that could be up to 2500 more CPU's. Yea, that would be cool. ;)

If you are 'worried' about it running constantly, install the screensaver only. I do alot ofhouse calls around here, and the only stipulation (I do it for friends, for free) is that if I fix it, they MUST run my installed screensaver. It works, usually. I know they change it eventually, but then I get to charge them. :D

Yes...I re-installed a few months ago and set it up as a service. Don't remember the specifics, but remember it only took a minute.

People this is a good way to let your computer do some good when you are not using it. The program runs in the BACKGROUND...and I am running it on a couple old machines that are just sitting around.
Go here and Download it and run the thing..

Dizzie Dot Com could be kicking some major butt here.. think how many of you use this website... daily. That is a whole lot of wasted processor time running... SYSTEM IDLE PROCESS. The things this research learns.. just might help save your life someday.

Cmon people, here is a way to help out a great cause, and it doesn't cost you a cent out of pocket.

You know you want to, so just do it!

Here is the site I use to keep track. It tracks an enormous amount of user data every day.
