Lustalbert Posted May 16, 2007 Report Share Posted May 16, 2007 Anyone else do the distributed database/CPU donation thing? I remember doing this back when I attended DeVry, when 200MHz was a ass haulin computer. I just happened back across it these many years later, so I figured I would see if anyone has an intrest in doing it on thier comuter. For shits, I made a team, if anyone wants to join just for the hell of it. Columbus Racing Team Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jeffmeden Posted May 18, 2007 Report Share Posted May 18, 2007 Be careful what you do with company computers, many people have been let go for using distributed computing apps like this without permission. If you work for a large company, I wouldn't even think about it until you see a company-wide memo saying 'please use folding@home coz its supr cooooollll!!!!' f.w.i.w.

I am a engineer I don't have a mis so since me and my boss are running it I'm not concerned. But that being said yes your 100% right I used to get on my users when i was a Sys admin for running that shit even banned it at the firewall. They would say my pc is so slow and boom seti si running or some shit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
