How about a gold star for perfect attendance?
If I read your spreadsheet correctly, it appears that my time per result is higher than anybody else's. Does that mean they're giving me the really, really BIG problems? It's not unusual for me to take well over 100 hours to complete a result. It also appears that my efficiency is pretty good. So anybody else who's still running at twentieth-century speeds need not be discouraged from joining up. Help scientific research in your spare time. No cost. No obligation.

I've added another device.

so how are we progressing on 500th place?
Current Members 30 (#305) We already own it for run time ... next comes points and then results? Two weeks? we are limited in our ability to understand by our ability to understand RebelAAmerican.Zen[Deist

There's only one of us slower than you, let's see who it is. Oh dear, it's you again. Nevertheless, I think it's quite an achievement to crank up your O/E ratio to 0.84, using only what must be two rusty abacuses. I'll bet your fingers hurt. Just kidding really, I think we're all putting our best foot forward.

Your computer could even be instrumental in finding a cure for HIV/AIDS. Wouldn't that be something?

I'll leave it up to you, RAZD, to work out a more precise prediction (preferably with a graphic illustration) of our 500th rank milestones. I've given ample examples in previous posts.

I was just wondering how we were tracking on your previous analysis.
results as of 03*16*2006 07:33 AM:Current Members 30 (#305) results as of now (1 day 14 hours later):Current Members 30 (#306) OOPS -- lost one place on number of members!!! Gained 5 places on total run time (that's 1 every 7.6 hours) Gained 2 places on points generated (1 every 19 hours) Gained 5 places on results returned (1 every 7.6 hours) Extrapolating ....

From the e-mailed newsletter:
World Community Grid Completes First Stage of FightAIDS@Home Project World Community Grid has already achieved a significant milestone on FightAIDS@Home, completing Stage 1a of the project, which was launched in November, 2005. (read more) Human Proteome Folding Project Continues to ProduceSignificant Results Work on the first phase of the Human Proteome Folding project is drawing to a close. Nearly all the calculations on World Community Grid are complete, and a team of researchers at the Institute for Systems Biology (ISB) is now working around the clock ... to process the results and get them out to other researchers and the volunteer community that contributed so greatly to this project.

Back in November of last year RazD started this thread. In the less than six month since then, many members of EvC have contributed to the project. Of particular note I would like to honor Omni. This weekend, this first week of Easter, he passed the One Year Mark, he has contributed over one year of computing resouces. All told, the members of Team EvC have contributed over 8 years of computer resources to the effort.
Congratulations to all that have participated. How about some more of you helping out? Aslan is not a Tame Lion

Thank you, jar!
It has been a pleasure to know that even on the worst of days, I am contributing to a better chance at a healthful life for others. During my recent hospital stay, I told my nurse, "Even as I lie here, I am working to save lives!" She thought I was delirious until I explained, and then she shook my hand. She promised to sign up her home PC. I hope she did. Sign up, folks: do it for Christ, do it for your sisters and brothers, do it for yourself. Who owns the whole rainy, stony earth? Death. Who owns all of space? Death. Who is stronger than hope? Death.Who is stronger than the will? Death. Stronger than love? Death. Stronger than life? Death. But who is stronger than Death?Me, evidently. Pass, Crow. Ted Hughes, from "Examination at the Womb-Door"
