This is a thread about volunteer computer resources for cancer research. Last thread was too large. Please try to keep it on topic.

Thanks for the new paper JC. To all the members of Andrax who have or are contributing to Team Andrax, I take my hat off to the effort you have made. Our cause is just; our cause is great; and our cause needs more kind-hearted volunteers to devote whatever spare cpu cycles they can.

Currently, Team Andrax is ranked #647 in the world rankings (out of 42,000+ teams). For such a young team this is quite remarkable. As much as I would like to see more volunteers join our great cause and help fight the good fight so that Team Andrax might move into the top 500 teams, I remind myself each morning as I look at the stats thats its not about our team, our stats, my stats, your stats. Its about giving hope to those that only have hope left.

Can you give hope today? Will you give hope today? They say you only ever get what you ask for, so, I'm asking. Please consider joining this great fight with Team Andrax. Stand beside us in the trenches, shoulder part of the burden, carry water if water is all you can carry, but by all means pitch in. Do it today. Do it to give hope to those little angels across the globe struck by a beast of a disease that they didn't ask for and that they can't defend themselves against and certainly that they didn't deserve.

Ask Chow to tell the story of his latest employer's son, who at the tender age of 12 is engaged in this fight. Does he have the weapons he needs? Can you hear his cry for help? Listen closely, that cry is there. You and I can't save that little soul, but we can offer hope. We can download and run a very small device, that requires almost no effort on our part. I have an eleven yo son. I thank God he is healthy. If he had cancer, I would look for support wherever I could find it, and I would thank the heavens above for the kindness and mercy of strangers. Be that stranger. Today.

I tend to pray more in times of adversity then when life is good. I would trust most of us on these boards are in good health and young enough to still think we will live forever or so it seems. Tis not the case my friends. We will all get old, sick and eventually move to a better place (fingers crossed on that one). When we are in our hour of need, our hour of darkness, will we remember the words of our enemies or the silence of our friends?

Let your voice be heard. Let it be heard with action. Join us in this noble fight. Join us today.

This is now the second breach of the no more cancer threads treaty of 2005. One more breach will be considered an act of war.

[Pwrguru]

Neo, the last one was too long. This is simply the third thread continuing the same topic.

The last two have been locked ...

Yes, I know.

Maybe this thread should be in a separate forum.

I'll tell you why; nForcers is another Board that also has Teams that are on f@h and at Grid.org.

Just check this out:

nForcers

Now there are a whack of Distributed Computing threads on that Board; yet they are in it's own forum.

Lots of Members, I may add.

Well...........If distributed computing is given it's own forum section......board members can easily avoid it if that is their desire....hence no grounds for grievances.

Everything works well at nforcers and nobody complains about the dc threads.
Just a thought.

Note to self...stop interfering in another teams ' business

Every bit helps Moose. Thanks for being a part of this kickass team.

Recruiting update: Members #82 and #83 have joined Team Andrax today. Our numbers continue to grow and our climb up the rankings moves closer to Top 500 status.

Neo, that is great!

Oh yes, we now have 83 Team Mates.

[Johnny Cool]

Oops, I went off topic!

Neo, I also have a A-64 3500+. Not the Winchester, but the Newcastle. Still, it rocks.

I don't get much points (I did get my 300th result a day ago) but I sure get results in quicker.

I realize that speaking about Team is much more important than individual stats, but my trusty 3500+ has kept me in the Top 5000 Members Ranked By Average Points Per Hour of CPU Time.

Trigger69 is also on that list, along with Zombie Homey and Petunia:

Top 5000 Members

Not bad when you consider there are over 1.2 million Members on the Grid.

Back to the Team ... so many great Team Mates, crunching away.

Oooooh!
/drools

Neo, you will also be in that Top 500 (actually in the Top 100), above me, easily.

Edit: Woody, LOL! Still, that means you can turn results in that much quicker.

Great news JC. That's the same as having a new recruit. Good news indeed.

[The Moose]

I'm still waiting on an actual broadband connection before I fire up the 3 other systems in this house, including the new one, with the UD client. As of now all but the laptop i borrow wireless access from the neighbors with is on dialup. As soon as roadrunner is running I'll have 5 systems plugging away on the UD team instead of one laptop that isn't on very often.

should be within the next 2 weeks. I'm growing very impatient.

The Moosiah delivers the goods.

Someone send me a wireless router with a 4 port switch and save me some money.
