lorne Posted May 7, 2005 CID Share Posted May 7, 2005 We could start a team for FAD (Find a Drug). It is for a great cause and is a great way to get Tesmy.net out to a whole new crowd of people. Here is a link to the FAD homepage http://www.find-a-drug.org.uk/frame.html I have been doing this for about a year, it has been fun Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moonlord Posted May 7, 2005 CID Share Posted May 7, 2005 i still say seti is better Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lorne Posted May 7, 2005 Author CID Share Posted May 7, 2005 Yeah seti is cool to. But since cancer is common in my family i opted for a program that uses your computer to help people. FAD is also 100% stable and doesn't interfere with anything, you can even game with it running and not notice it!. Not sayin that seti isn't but i have tried a few other programs that were a pain in the ass. Seti i have read is scheduled to come to a end soon also? Do you know about this?

peepnklown Posted May 7, 2005 CID Share Posted May 7, 2005 At least this cause is for the greater good for humanity. SETI is the search for something that may not even be there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lorne Posted May 8, 2005 Author CID Share Posted May 8, 2005 People lie who? *confused lol It uses whatever CPU cycles are available. Very well written and it backs off as soon as you need your CPU for something. I can game and not even notice it. No it doesn't leave your computer open for attack in anyway. It only connects to the internet when it needs a new job. The jobs are like 50 KB or something. The jobs are encrypted and scanned before they are sent to ensure no viruses can be hidden in them. If i get enough interest and CA3LE likes the idea i will start a team. Awesome PHP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dn0 Posted May 8, 2005 CID Share Posted May 8, 2005 To be honest, I have been helping in the search for ET so that they can solve all of Humankind's problems. OK, seriously, I would join the FAD team also. Seti@Home has gotten over 2 yrs of my cpu time. It is time to use the cpu for a better cause. Does this program run as the screensaver like seti@home does? My seti@home stats: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

php Posted May 8, 2005 CID Share Posted May 8, 2005 i have 3 computers i can run it on, soon to be 4... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lorne Posted May 8, 2005 Author CID Share Posted May 8, 2005 It doesn't run as a screensaver really. You can watch the graphic if you like or you can hide it. It crunches faster with it hidden. You can also install FAD as a service so its completely hidden. So far this is enough interest for me. I will PM CA3LE and ask him about it. We will need a FAD forum so we need the Grandpubbas go ahead S1. lets say you are listening to music and winamp is using 3% CPU power. FAD will use the other 97% of your CPU power to bombard cancer molecules with drug molecules to find ones that bind to it. Therefore helping find potential drugs to help combat it.
