How many ppl do you know? I know a few. I'm sure everyone does. It's not a hard pitch to say hey do you run a msnger service? Well hey check this out: Run F@H. Leave your computer on without the monitor it only costs an average of 30 cents per day. I mean I'm in the Navy. I don't know nearly everyone in it but posting this at work is doable. There are 352,000 plus ppl in the Navy. I think this is something worth doing that takes like ZERO effort. So I'm going to start campaigning for it and I encourage you all to do the same. Parents, Grandparents, computer illiterate friends, just go set it up and explain they're helping to solve diseases. Who doesn't want to do that?

It won't happen! I left a team where I had over 100,000 points by myself! We can only try to make the top 200 or so.

And believe me that would be one hell of a feat!!!

I choose to believe nothing is impossible. Back in the day whe Quake was out that game was IT. I bet you never thought you'd see a game like Fear and a computer to run it. You might have said it wouldn't happen. But it happened. It may not happen but why not give it a try? I prefer to AIM high and not top 200 high.

If I can pull some strings and get my schools computers folding for our team, that's another 100-150 CPUs. I'm still working on that tho....

I would approach the administrator AND the principal with a plan to implement it showing the total cost (thats if the computer dont run 24/7 already) and the bandwidth estimate. Showing how it would be a minimal impact but be for a good cause.

Bobo · 11-04-2006, 01:58 AM

No, the computers do run 24/7. I just don't know how this would work. I most certainly do not want to install a different instance of F@H on each computer. But if I install it on the server, how would that work?

And what do you mean by the bandwidth estimate?
