  1. So with the new Folding@Home software I was a little worried that it would use my CPU and GPU, which I didn't want it to use my CPU. So I did some research and with some of my own discovery I found out how to change how the devices are used. Simply open the FAHControl, click Configure, go to the Slots tab, and remove slots you don't want and add slots you do want. Pretty simple stuff. Thanks, EBrown
  2. I would love to be able to dedicate a rig to Folding, but I don't have the resources right now. So for the time being I'll just dedicate my GPU which does nothing during most of the time since I no longer game on it, so I just fold when I'm not watching Hulu or Netflix. Thanks, EBrown
  3. I don't mean to be rude, but straight from Stanford: -http://folding.stanford.edu/English/FAQ-Points#ntoc3 The reason GPU points are higher is because they do the math faster. They have hundreds of Shaders working together to allow for the math to be done at enormous speeds. The newer GPU Cores are likely more optimized than the older ones. (I don't know all the information about them, I can only assume based on what little data I happen to have.) Thanks, EBrown
  4. I'll look into it and see what I can find. It's not supposed to be about the points though. Thanks, EBrown
  5. I suppose it's just php, Blake and I ehh? Thanks, EBrown
  6. Nonononono that function returns the factorial I posted. Edit: Forgot that I wrote that function wrong. function factorial($number) { if ($number == 0) return 1; else return $number * factorial($number - 1); }That's how it should look. factorial(4) = 24; I can test it tomorrow and show you, it's pretty basic. Maybe I'll write a summation one as well. Although Summations are easy calculus. The hard part is figuring out what a summation converges to when it is added from 0, 1, or any arbitrary number to infinity. I.e. The series converges if |z| < 1. But |z| MUST be less than one, it cannot be equal to, it cannot be greater than, it must be less than. Otherwise the series diverges. Thanks, EBrown
  7. It's Calculus. Very basic calculus. The n! portion means take the arbitrary integer n (from 0 to infinity) and the multiply it by each of the next lower numbers. function factorial($number) { if ($number == 0) return $number; else return $number * factorial($number - 1); } That's how it works. (Arbitrary pseudo-code, I didn't actually test it, but it should work fine.) 0! = 1; 1! = 1 * 0! = 1; 2! = 2 * 1! = 2 * 1 * 0! = 2; 3! = 3 * 2! = 3 * 2 * 1! = 3 * 2 * 1 * 0! = 6; 4! = 4 * 3! = 4 * 3 * 2! = 4 * 3 * 2 * 1! = 4 * 3 * 2 * 1 * 0! = 24; Thanks, EBrown
  8. I'm back in action folding again guys. Sorry about the fact that I was out of commission all winter, but I couldn't fold at College. Let's see what kind of research we can get done. Thanks, EBrown
  9. My buddy had an Evo and he enjoyed it a lot, until it started getting slow. Thanks, EBrown
  10. Did you ever get around to getting to this? Thanks, EBrown
  11. How in the hell am I supposed to see that? Lol I feel like Mobile-Themed should be default and non-mobile should be an option. The 720p screen on this phone is less than 5" across...that's a huge amount of pixels per inch. Oh well, now that I found it maybe I can actually do a test and not have to wait forever fro it to load. Thanks, EBrown
  12. Could a Mobile Friendly site be implemented possibly? If there is currently a Mobile Friendly site, could it be cleaned up to support my phone? Thanks, EBrown
  13. I thought about getting the Galaxy Note II, but I decided not to because it felt too big to me. I have to say, I am practically in love with my smart-phone. I have found several ways to optimize battery life and I will be testing how long it lasts tomorrow. Hopefully I get some decent usage out of it now. Thanks, EBrown
  14. I usually just read the subject and from header of all my messages, and if it looks important I continue reading. I have about 8K emails in the 5K unread folder right now, and I have about 7K in that 6K unread folder as well. Most of my emails are from here or another site I am on, or some other subscription I have. For example, of the eight emails I have already gotten today, two are from here and six are notifications from another site. I usually don't need to read about 75% of my emails. Thanks, EBrown
  15. Yeah I do some Email...the image just shows my unread ones alone. Thanks, EBrown
  16. Yeah, we have a bunch of them sitting around. I might go up to five or six and have to actually mount them sometime soon. One of the advantages of working somewhere that has a large surplus of this stuff. Thanks, EBrown
  17. I use four when I am at work. Generally I leave Email open on one, and two of our monitoring tools open on two of the others. The third is usually empty with a few Lync Windows open for our inter-work communications. Thanks, EBrown
  18. I love this Google Phone. Greatest thing I have ever owned in my personal opinion. I can basically do anything I need to while at home or on the go now. Extremely useful for College. Thanks, EBrown
  19. I have to admit it seems to be getting even more powerful every day. The things Google is doing are phenomenal. Thanks, EBrown
  20. I just got myself a Samsung Galaxy Nexus, and I have to say I love it. It's only a Dual Core 1.2Ghz, but with as powerful and clean as Android 4.2 is, it runs like a champion. This thing has 4G as well, however I don't get it where I live. I will however be testing it tomorrow, as I am going to a city where it gets 4G coverage. Having never owned a smart-phone before, I have to say, I am VERY impressed with how powerful this one is. Not only is it fast, but the feature-set is crazy. And the voice-recognition software on it is almost as powerful as Siri, and will probably end up more powerful than it. (After all, it's Google.) I am also quite impressed with Sprint's 3G network, as it's actually fairly quick. And from what I have heard about their 4G network, it runs quite well. Thanks, EBrown
  21. That'd be lovely. Thank you. Thanks, EBrown
  22. There should be some sort of static URL we can use to download a large file to do a speed-test from a command line, such as Ubuntu server. For example, we should be able to use wget and go to a static file on whatever test server we prefer. (I.e.: dallas.testmy.net/static?size=5 which would download a 5MB file) Thanks, EBrown
  23. I haven't been able to fold much since I am in college now. Puts a damper on things. Thanks, EBrown
