Lost power to the herd last night . . . back up now, but I don't know how much time was lost.

Got a couple cows to repair and get back on line.

Other than that, it's another beautiful day in the neighborhood.

Harder

Good news! Got the 780i and GTX275 running again. I was moving some stuff around and think I may have jarred the bios chip on the 780i loose. I left the cmos battery out for 24hours and applied a little pressure to the bios chip and bada bing whada know she works again. Strange, but good.

keep your posts to a single thread, you already posted this question once already in a new thread, 10 minutes before you did here, give people a chance to answer, and not ALL of us on here know the answer, so give it some time.

if you need one ASAP right this second, call Lycos yourself and ask them.

Nvidia Netbooks: Windows now, Android later | Nanotech - The Circuits Blog - CNET News

Nvidia trumpets success of its Tegra cell phone processors » VentureBeat

But Does it Fold?

**KarmaKiller** · June 1st, 2009, 09:48 AM

Yeah, those netbooks are super nice. I wish I had the money, I'd be jumping on one myself. And I can't wait for android to hit netbooks. I love that OS.

**Nude_Lewd_Man** · June 1st, 2009, 11:30 AM

Hmmmm.... How would I know whether I could get the GPU to do some folding..?

(I wanna get me some more points..!)

Is there some min specs, or a list of which can do it - and advise as to how to do it....?!?!?

Nvidia 8xxx and above, Ati 1xxx and above. It is done the same way as the CPU.

I've got dual screens at work, would either (or both) of these work...?

I normally use the "silent" client - no systray icon, or GUI - so would that make any difference...??

With the CPU, I set it up to have folders "C:\F@H\" and subdivide so that each CPU core has a separate work location and has its own service. I can't see how the GPU version would be the same setup...

**Aaron_8015** · June 1st, 2009, 12:07 PM

Works fine for me although I use the client version. I gather they will be similar but you will have to wait for the more experianced folders to chip in.

**ShyguyXPC** · June 1st, 2009, 12:24 PM

the version I use mainly is setup in its own folders, I use mainly the System Tray Clients, for both CPU and GPU (though 99% of the time I only run the GPU one)

both clients have their own folders on both Drive C in their install folders and in Documents and settings in application data folder as well.

and both can be set to their own services.

although when they show up on the list of programs on the desktop, I make sure to rename the actual links/shortcuts for the programs to which ones their for, CPU or GPU (especially if I make a desktop or Quick launch shortcut for them).

later this afternoon I'm heading back into town to head to the local menards and pick up some Folding saw horses they have on sale this week, see if I can get ahold of some decent plywood or something similar and have some 2x4's cut to the lengths I need, some nails or screws and head home with it.

build my self my own work table to use, so dad can reclaim his train table LOL.

also want to check out and maybe pick up some bags of play sand and landscaping gravel they have on sale this week too (play sand for in basement for what else, to play in LOL, for rainy days when I'm bored with mini RC cars or something, have to build a box to put it in, but oh well LOL...) but the gravel for around the house, steps etc, some of that pink/red granite they have looks nice.

will see what they have and how much it comes to first though.

also want to pick up some metal piping, but I was told by someone they don't cut it to the lengths one needs, only need about 5 feet of metal tubing/piping ("mortar" or drop tube for bottle rockets for July 4th...

).

prop up the tube somewhere, somehow, (we usually use the burning barrel at my brothers in laws farm) at slight angle, bend fuse of rocket slightly at 90 degree angle, on edge of tube towards the direction the tube is leaning, so the whole rocket, once the fuse burns past the edge, drops into the tube, wait a moment or so, and WHOOOOOOSH!!! out the tube it flies, safely in the right direction, instead of in a bottle it'll tip in, or trying to stick into the hard ground only to fall over at fly at family...

also not talking about the dinky little blackcat bottle rockets either, talking the bigger ones about a half inch or more in diameter and at least 2 feet in length including the stick.

last year I managed to rig up 3 or 4 rockets in succession, but was tricky with the barbeque lighter, since once one fuse was lit, it dang near blew out the flame on the lighter each time. but was pretty cool, WHOOOOOOSH, WHOOOOOOOOOSH, WHOOOOOOOOOOSH, WHOOOOOOOOOOSH!!!!

has a nice deep echo/reverberating sound when it fires out too, not quite a THUMP, but its still pretty wicked when hearing it standing only a few feet away.

back from a bit of a hiatus here on the boards as i am not traveling up and down california.

i miss anything?

**Aaron_8015** · June 1st, 2009, 12:55 PM

Yes you did, the moment you had been dreading.

**nunyadam** · June 1st, 2009, 04:57 PM

Shy, PVC should hold up to a bottle rocket. Find some old toasters and build your own ignition system.

or go all out and do something like these guys.
