Good job PS3. You are kicking butt at folding at home. Never mind all the games and blu ray movies folding at home is where we get recognized.

"Dude I'm gonna kick your assss at Virtua Fighter. Screw that...let's fold."

Gamerankings is obviously biased because they didn't rank F@H

It's a great project and a great feature to be able to take part in it. There is nothing negative about this.

The immaturity and self-centeredness around these forums makes me

Actually I'd say F@H is a resounding success on PS3, despite the few critics of the program we have here.

I can only assume your signature is a joke. Otherwise, it's just sad.

Hopefully a cure for cancer

Its amazing(unless I am reading wrong).
The PS3 is less than 1% of the contributing machines... yet it has produced almost 60% of the calculations

The point of doing folding@home isn't to be recognized but to contribute to something that means something for thousands of other people. Spare your fanboyism for two seconds to acknowledge that there is absolutely nothing negative about this. I'm proud that I'm able to help people, even in such a small way. Shame on you.

ROFL! No **** I am already on my 5th molecule this is some cool stuff. Think this is only with 15,000 users imagine if there were over 100,000 users on folding or better yet 1 million talk about finishing this project rather quickly.

ScottyL, judging by your signature, instead of trolling the PS3 forums you should get hooked on phonics.

Kick Some Butt In Some Quality Games Releases And System Updates That MOVES THE SYSTEM FORWARD INSTEAD OF SIDEWAYS

10 times less active PS3 CPUs produce 3 times more TFLOPs than Windows CPUs.

That's shocking. CELL really is a processing monster.

160,000 PCs to get 152 TF
18,000 PS3 to get 435 TF

Nice

Imagine in a few weeks when the number of PS3s on doubles or triples.

Michael J Fox thanks you. He, himself, is playing Resistance BUT he thanks you for burning up your PS3s so that his wife can stop calling him "the human jitterbug". And George Burns, if still alive, would thank you for burning up your PS3s so that he can burn up his cigars, knowing that through your selfless compassion (despite the fact that you clearly BRAG about how good it is to do and YOU'RE doing it and those NOT doing it are selfish pricks) his lung cancer will be cured. A round of applause for all the PS3 owners attemptint to cure cancer and parkinson's disease by folding proteins. What about Mongoloid Idiocy? Does anyone care about that? Does anyone know what disease that IS anymore?

People are still ignoring the ATI GPU client that is producing approx. 2.5x the flops of the PS3 client per CPU. I imagine there are a lot more ATI GPUs out there than PS3s, so it would be really awesome for the folding project if similar numbers of them starting folding as the PS3 users. Hopefully Stanford or Nvidia is working on making the GPU client work on their processors. If they could combine such a thing with the Cell client and run with both processors in the PS3 that could produce some amazing results.

How much money will I make when these cures are found and doctors begin charging insane amounts of money for the durg? Gimme an estimate, Protopet, and don't tell me you're gonna pay me with a warm feeling inside: I can get that from Hot Sauce and heartburn. I wanna know: what will I get in return for wear and tear on my expensive gaming machine? I am not above changin my mind, either.

George Burns? have you lost your mind? George lived to be 100. They interviewed him and asked him "what do your doctors think of you smoking?" his reply "my doctors dead."

dont be a dink.

you will get the ability to watch one of your children grow up who you planted in a box who had been stricken with a cancer that ate her to the bone. thats what the hell you will get.

dont be a dink.

if a cure for cancer ment me going to your house and smashing your ps3 with a baseball bat you can bet your ass i would be kicking your door down.

Just what the PS3 needs ANOTHER NON GAME FUNCTION. Hey games may be in short supply but we always have other things to do with the box

Okay, since the fastest super computer in the world can do 1 petaflop and folding@home will probably hit that by weekend's end, does that mean that the PS3 network will be the fastest super computer in the world?

Think about it. Networking a lot more PC couldn't even touch what the PS3s are doing now. Sony now has at it's fingertips potentially the most powerful supercomputer in the world provided people donate their PS3s to the causes it backs.

If they do develop some drugs and applications as a result of this folding@home can we get a discount on the cost of those drugs or will we get shafted by the drug companies who use this research and rake us over the coals at the register? Can I present my folding@home certificate and get some money off? Mattardo has a point there.

If the PS3 network started some for profit projects in the future where companies paid for cpu time on the network I could see credits on the PS3 network being given out depending on amount of work done. Everyone could kick in and help with the next doomsday device for a little $$ on the side. Just kidding. Still, a tax write off for power consumption would be nice at least.

Using George Burns as an example was called IRONY. Perhaps you've heard of it? Dink? I'm not going to explain the ironic nature of using a man who smoked and NEVER got cancer to you. And I don't have children, or a box or something eating the bones of my nonexistant children.... dink. Calling names and condemning does not make me want to be generous and selfless like you. It would just make me arrogant and hateful, from the looks of it. Are people compassionate because it helps people or because it makes them "better" than other people? Hmm. Cadbury 8, you seem to be an example of the latter.

If you have aids in Africa you will still die because you can't afford the drugs. If you have cancer in Africa you will still die if they make a drug from this project because it will be unavailable to you.

I was a little ironic in my post but I think the point that the end products of this research will be quite expensive, very lucritive for drug companies, and out of reach for many people due to cost is an unfortunate reality. It is a problem equally as great as the solution. Still a cure is a cure which is why I'm donating my cpu time to the project.
