    I'm going to run the QMC project, I don't like running rosetta.
    I adjusted my sig, it now says "DONT TREAD ON AMD"

    Thanks, the hot water is already a by-product of the central heating. My computer room is the back-up for that....

    I'm going to stay on the HCC project for a month or two. My cousin from Martinsville, Indiana has stage 4 lung cancer.

    Sorry to hear it Scott...

    If it serves of any consolation, I can only say that every single workunit crunched contributes to the investigation, and gets mankind one step closer to finding a solution... I can only imagine how backwards our medical science would be if Distributed Computing had not been created...

    HCC is a worthy project, I'll stay till I have at least a gold badge (but might go for sapphire). Cancer is the main killer in my family too.

    I just earned Ruby for HCC (I had already earned a Ruby Badge for the 'Help Fight Childhood Cancer' (HFCC) project. That makes my third (the other was with the 'Computing for Clean Water' project).

    It's all good stuff. I'm in it for the long haul on all three projects, which have the potential to save literally millions of lives.

    @Dirk and TAMaster - right along with you there.
    I just blasted max cores on WCG this week and went from Bronze to Gold on HCC.
    Hope it helps along the way.

    For the Pentathlon it looks about time to set no new work on WCG and open the QMC / Rosetta floodgates
    I'll be doing Rosetta on my giggle of duallies and QMC on my beefy 'oxen

    Great show so far, Team.
    We snatched two team ranks on WCG and contributed a whole lot to HCC.

    Lets see if we can turn up the heat!

    Host 'em, Toast 'em an' Roast 'em.

    I feel a 'Tim the Tool Man' moment coming on ... MORE POWER!!! AR! AR! AR! :D

    I made the switch from WCG to Rosetta, I am really impressed with how well we are doing this year, a big step up from last. With any luck we can finish in the top 10 this year, I just can't believe we lost 7th on WCG at the last minute, we held it from the start just to lose it at the end

    If you can read German (or if you're a fellow Jeep fan), you want to follow the Pentathlon reports from Jeepers: http://www.seti-germany.de/forum/das...tml#post190035
