You bumped up a year old topic to say that? I said the exact same thing in another topic yesterday, where are all these stupid people coming from?

All of them can run it.

1. Download the program 2. Install the program 3. type http://folding.stanford.edu/ in the box 4. Never think about it again After that you will be a part of helping cure all kinds of diseases.

Either way is fine with me too, right now I am playing to keep second :P . Given up hope of winning :D .

I don't quite understand what went on there but I am assuming that my guess of 10. T3 is already taken. :(

Some more info: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Folding@home http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Einstein%40Home http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Distributed_computing

You are sent "projects." As soon as you complete the computation in the project, it gets uploaded to the server and added to the work everyone else is doing. Each project gets sent to 4 or 5 different people, to make sure the results are valid. It is inefficient, but the results are definitely valid.

It's a University doing it. You can donate your unused CPU cycles to help cure find a cure for a number of diseases, it's all nonprofit.

Heh, I didn't even know 5, I know 10 :o . EDIT: Also your logic is flawed because Pflic can guess again right now :P .

I was just thinking about making a distributed computing topic the other day :D . Folding@home seems to be the one you hear about the most for some reason, I guess it's more important than a lot of other projects. Still, SETI@home has many more people doing it, just because of the demographic of people that do this. I do Einstein@home (it's running almost always), it's searching for pulsars or something :lol: . If you Fold you can also Einstein, or SETI, or all three, or many more. They all use BOINC (that I mentioned). EDIT: Yes if you have a PS3 you should definitely Fold, it completely rules at it. Just make sure if you Fold on your PC and you have a PS3 don't stop on your PC, different calculations work better on different platforms.

Well, there is the Ender's Game series, and there is the Ender's Shadow series. Ender's Game starts with Ender's Game, then Speaker for the Dead, then Xenocide, and lastly Children of the Mind. Ender's Shadow starts with Ender's Shadow, then Shadow of the Hegemon, then Shadow Puppets, then Shadow of the Giant. IBList lists the Ender's Shadow series as being parts 5, 6, 7, and 8 after the Ender's Game series, but I really think they should be separated. It doesn't matter which series you read first, and you could switch back and forth between them if you wanted. Ender's Game and Ender's Shadow take place at the same time, just follow different people. The rest of Ender's Game takes place a thousand (I think) years in the future, and the rest of Ender's Shadow takes place pretty much right after Ender's Shadow.

I do too :P . Too bad you get to go after the next person, whereas I have to wait for two more guesses, which means I am [cabbage] out of luck.

:P .

7. Dark City EDIT: I probably should have waited for this one, I don't think Dark City is well well known movie, but then again it was known enough to do an invisible over it so maybe it was best.

14. Elizabethtown

1. Con Aire

I see you changed the genres around, that is good. I'll vote, just got to wait till tonight after I have thought about it.

And it shall be awesome. And if it aint.... riot : It better be good, but for some reason I have a bad feeling about it. Max Brooks also wrote the guide to surviving a zombie apocalypse, if I remember right. I have it on order. Technically they aren't really zombies in 28 Days Later... like you said, but it's close enough :P . Just like in Planet Terror (first part of Grindhouse), technically they aren't zombies, still plays out like a zombie movie.

Nah the "How to kill yourself like a man." one LordSoultar linked to.

I enjoy his suicide page most, and I usually link to it in the suicide threads we get here (speaking of which, there hasn't been one lately). But yeah, they are all pretty good. I didn't go back and read all of them until about a year ago, up until then just read a few that sounded the most interesting. Turns out they were all pretty good.

He is funny, but not appropriate for these forums. Also, welcome to the internet.

Definitely prepared :D . /thank amazon for not cropping it.

Getting Card to input on it is a must, to make sure it is what the story is supposed to be. But also he has to realize this is a movie, and movie stories are paced differently than books. With a good director and Card being involved they should be able to find the best way to do it.

Well, it could be awesome, but it could also turn out badly.

People pay for pr0n?
