americans want to cure cancer so they can live longer and steal more natural resources. This bastard program will NEVER GET 1 CPU CYCLE FROM ME. I use my spare CPU cycles for profit.
The PS3 get smaller segments than the Mac, which you'll see in your scoring for each unit finished. The only problem with it is that is DOES NOT idle when you need to use your computer. The software needs to be upgraded to look for idle usage. Until then, it KILLS your computer's performance on any machine.
This Pissing match will never stop as long as Mac users keep up their fanboy shiznits and snippy commercials (that are annoying as SHIT might i add) And PC users keep reigning their "Dominant Gaming machine Pwnsu" attitude this match will go on forever until one goes out of business (GO PC)
I'm on Windows/Linux dual-boot. Doing video, gaming, photos, internet, everything. 1500 bucks. I have a friend with a mac. I laugh at him :3. Still a sexy ass looking laptop though. wish the hardware were as good as the looks.
hey this folding is pretty awesome im in team num 143016 for platform racing 2 and the owner makes us folding to win prizes. If one person folds it means the whole world to him.
Yah, Your right. There all just tools. Like me, I play alot of fps games online. But my computer sucks so i guess it dont matter. But, my sister has a bad computer and she just draws on it (nothing else) no games. So there is no point to having a "hardcore" computer. I bet most of the people on youtube play games and think that other people that have mac's think they plays games. And there for, Microsoft wins :)
I'm running folding@home on my 2 desktops, my notebook, and my PS3. I also have a windows 98 machine, but i dont have a wireless adapter for it, so i can't use it.
I jailbreak and unlock iphones on my windows pc. i perfer mac but i just dont have the funds for it right now. Whats your guy's oppinion on the mac book pro?
The problem I had is that I could not put my computer into sleep mode without turning the modem off.... which is the only reason I can't keep the programing running for weeks on end
Hi everyone. I'm currently leading the YouTube folding team, as 'Mulligan' although I'm sure Alfred will overtake me again. Well done for joining in on this. Alfred will you be doing any more videos on FoldingAtHome?
So what are we trying to achieve? Who is the winner? Any useful outcome that can help people to make a decision? What are the fruits of these endless discussion on which browser or OS is the best? What is the point of these "war?" Is there a concrete goal we want to accomplish? Maybe you guys just like to argue just for the heck of it because you feel to do so. Chemicals in your brain...I understand.
i am doing a lot of writing on Word (on a Macbook) (haha... a Microsoft program). I also talk a lot on IChat and surf the web, playing games and checking email.... I am in high school
haha i was joking around but i don't think u got it will anyways i don't think windows is better then mac and mac better then windows.There isn't lot people saying i like them both because they have differences between them that people like and dislike ether way if a person likes one of this computer only because they used it for long time.
I agree with this guy!, We shouldnt be pissing eachother off with the OS we use, I just bought a Packard Bell iMedia 2421 for £400 in pcworld. And its what i need from a pc, and thats how we all should be looking at computers, their tools!
I run Mac and windows, its nice to utilize both. Would like to do daulboot on the mac but i dont have the 3 grand for a Mac Pro to run it swiftly but someday. Thanks Al
Great video sir! So true, computers are tools and its childish to fight about operating systems, its like arguing about the best color on a car, by the way its debian-orange :) ha. Everyone get together and fold, fold, fold !
Checkout my video i made about Folding@Home cracking 1 Petaflop of computing power! - watch?v=1Tye1ayu_Qk
For those who think that Folding@Home is a possible virus, please atleast checkout sum more info about it before you LABEL it so. People who post these sorta comments are LAZY, they'd rather call everything a virus rather than actually HELP OUT!
I wish there was an OS that was stable and quick like Mac OS X, separated the OS and data as smoothly as Linux and had the massive compatibility like Windows. That would be my favorite OS of all time :).
What is better, Adobe CS3 Production Premium or Apple Final Cut Studio? Personally, I think Adobe CS3 Production Premium is way better just because it has Photoshop, Illustrator, and After Effects. I mean, most video editors or motion graphics artists are going to want those programs anyway. So why would they just pick up Production Premium over Final Cut? This is not a Mac versus PC debate.
I use all three. Linux, Windows, and Mac. I do 3D modeling and rendering, application programming, web designing, game modifying, and programming PIC chips for electronic experiments.
Al, I have to admit, I think both apple & pc are fantastic. I have Windows XP, Running on a pc I built with reasnoble specs, I love it, it does what I want it to do, If i want to go online, it does it, MSN, it does it, as other pc's do too, now i have my mac alocated just for video editting, and that does the job great. Windows are practicle, Macs are creative, simple
Folding@Home has cracked 1 PetaFlop of computing power!!! A feat not yet achieved by a single Supercomputer out there currently operating. This just goes to show the power of Distributed Computing... making one big distributed Supercomputer, crunching data in order to save lives! Cheers
Your most welcome to use that program fold fold, but little do you know is that when your computer goes into idle that what this so called program is doing is gathering information, such as passwords, bank account number and any other info. Oh but you too BACKWARDS to understand hacking so you can be like ay other sucker and get sucked in.
what is manually putting a virus on your computer not getting out. Im not saying dont put it on, I just personally dont want this guy accessing my credit card number, or password or anything else.
I run Mac, oh, and you know your name is on the description of makemebad35's Youtube: The Rap Music Video which has now almost been viewed by 1,000,000 people! And I'm gonna go downlaod that Youtube Team thing!
Well Al and youtube users I support all three operating systems. I have a pc running WIndows XP, a Mac running Mac OS X and another pc running Ubuntu Linux. I feel that all three are different and similar in ways. The war between PC, Mac and Linux is pointless for me to pick a side, since I use all three. I support and use them. I think this idea to make an ultimate super computer to fight and cure diseases is really a great idea to do. :)
I'm still running Folding@Home, and I'm suprised that I really can't notice the different even tough it's using like 50% of my computers CPU-power. Great stuff!
And BTW, why doesn't Folding have support for two cores? I want to contribute more!
I've had folding for a year now. I joined your team but I proly won't show up for a while because I got a WU that is going to finish at december 7th! yeah, I subscribe to david and now to you.
I am a Windows and Linux user, but I found your channel searching for Apple related videos after reading the book iWoz. Anyway I think you are great American and I love the idea of OSes working/folding together. Have you thought about running for Congress?
i went and downloaded the program, hey its a great plan to help cure cancer when my machines aren't being used at that moment ^_^ now only to get a ps3 now....
all the youtube folding team should join the folding@home community forum, its really good source for info n help, and u can make up a youtube team thread in the teams section
Actually, there is a naturally occurring greenhouse effect. Flora, fauna decaying and the oceans send the vast majority of CO2 emissions into the atmosphere.
Anyway, Al: just so you know, I'm crunching under the name "bbrossard".
adiblasi - while im fully behind you in Folding@Home terms, you can't be seriously convinced that Global Warming is just part of a natural 'cycle', please watch 'An Inconvenient Truth', a great doco/movie that everyone should watch.
Dear Ashley - a good point indeed I will watch that movie soon! Thank you for the heads up. And yes, indeed, folding should be done with the idle cycles when people are using their computers. I will be making a more succinct video on folding, just 'getting to the point.' Thank you for your feedback, support, and input!
Otherwise you'd use your computer for 2hrs a day, without contributing anything. The difference in power usage between and idle computer and a fully-beltin out one is not all that much, probs less than 30% easy.
To offset greenhouse gas emissions, i encourage you all to ask your power company to switch you over to GREEN energy sources like i did, that way you can contribute knowing your not using a 'double edged sword'
marksapollo - this project in my understanding was intended so that 'spare' cpu power can be harnessed for the good of Folding research. Now while all the top dog folders out there are probs running their computer 24/7 JUST for this great Folding@Home project, Folders are only asked to continue to use their computer as normal, whether its half an hour a day, 2hrs a day or more, if Folding@Home uses whats 'left over' for the time your computer is on, your contributing to the Project!
WOW this is really AMAZING! I had no idea about this WOW I am going to be loading this on my comps collecting dust so they can help do some good in the world!
Hey Alfred, I agree with the hate stuff but some of the creative videos on the subject are funny.
Whilst I agree with the whole folding at home thing, I find it a double edged sword, whilst your curing diseases on one hand, leaving your PC on 24/7 helps global warming too. And as it can use your full CPU power it can also draw the juice to run it. What do you think?
I think it can be running while you are using your PC, leaving power save requirements on the regular settings. And with regard to global warming, though this could be a good argument, I subscribe to the theory that it is indeed cyclical, on a planetary level. Thanks for watching, and for your input!
great stuff Alfred (adiblasi), great informative vid
i've been folding for nearly 12mths and enjoy the fact that i'm contributing my idle (otherwise wasted) CPU power to such a great cause! I encourage you all to participate in this great project and hopefully in the not-so-distant future, we will start seeing BIG payoffs in research! If i didn't already have my own team | Aussie Rules Footy | Team 52735 | i would certainly have joined the YouTube team 79621!
I'm always on the internet on my XP and i edit movies in Vegas 7, thats what i do on my computer. I will get a Mac computer soon, hopefully a MacBook, great video you really say awesome stuff
I am a video editor, I dont post much on YouTube, But I do projects for my school VIA my Dell Precision 380, dual core... smore <_< AND I AM Downloading this software. Al!! Thank you for posting this, and spreading something entire productive and positive in the YouTube Community! I am looking forward to doing this.
Just one PS3. I have the G4 working, and the MacMini, and the MacPro (4 core whore) from time to time. A folding we will go! Our YouTube team is ALREADY in the top 5% - WOW!
Great video/idea, I got the software running. I think its a great use of technology. Though theres no way im gonna come close to all your machines but whatever.
this is how i think a lot of people should see it. pc has its advantages in some things and mac has its advantages in some things. I prefer mac over pc just because I am in to video editing, photoshopping pictures, and making dvd's. say what you want but in the end they are both computers.
It's curing current cancer, not its prevention. You are right, prevention is impossible but curing is possible. There are some sometime-working medicines already.
Good job Al. I've been folding for nearly a year now, but my MacPro wont seem to fold properly... (it did it once) so been trying to get that fixed... username is WillZiccardi TeamMacOSX 1971
Unfortunately folding@home does not use both of the dual core processors and the application crashes from time to tim. But I keep on folding when I have time to do so.
Nice studio

I am a Windows and Linux user, but I found your channel searching for Apple related videos after reading the book iWoz. Anyway I think you are great American and I love the idea of OSes working/folding together. Have you thought about running for Congress?

Actually, there is a naturally occurring greenhouse effect. Flora, fauna decaying and the oceans send the vast majority of CO2 emissions into the atmosphere.
Anyway, Al: just so you know, I'm crunching under the name "bbrossard".
Take care,

adiblasi - while im fully behind you in Folding@Home terms, you can't be seriously convinced that Global Warming is just part of a natural 'cycle', please watch 'An Inconvenient Truth', a great doco/movie that everyone should watch.
Lahmy88 4 years ago
Dear Ashley - a good point indeed I will watch that movie soon! Thank you for the heads up. And yes, indeed, folding should be done with the idle cycles when people are using their computers. I will be making a more succinct video on folding, just 'getting to the point.' Thank you for your feedback, support, and input!

great to help out - come on YouTubers, participate in Folding@Home!

marksapollo - continued
Otherwise you'd use your computer for 2hrs a day, without contributing anything. The difference in power usage between and idle computer and a fully-beltin out one is not all that much, probs less than 30% easy.
To offset greenhouse gas emissions, i encourage you all to ask your power company to switch you over to GREEN energy sources like i did, that way you can contribute knowing your not using a 'double edged sword'
Lahmy88 4 years ago
marksapollo - this project in my understanding was intended so that 'spare' cpu power can be harnessed for the good of Folding research. Now while all the top dog folders out there are probs running their computer 24/7 JUST for this great Folding@Home project, Folders are only asked to continue to use their computer as normal, whether its half an hour a day, 2hrs a day or more, if Folding@Home uses whats 'left over' for the time your computer is on, your contributing to the Project!

Hey Alfred, I agree with the hate stuff but some of the creative videos on the subject are funny.
Whilst I agree with the whole folding at home thing, I find it a double edged sword, whilst your curing diseases on one hand, leaving your PC on 24/7 helps global warming too. And as it can use your full CPU power it can also draw the juice to run it. What do you think?
marksapollo 4 years ago
I think it can be running while you are using your PC, leaving power save requirements on the regular settings. And with regard to global warming, though this could be a good argument, I subscribe to the theory that it is indeed cyclical, on a planetary level. Thanks for watching, and for your input!
adiblasi 4 years ago
great stuff Alfred (adiblasi), great informative vid
i've been folding for nearly 12mths and enjoy the fact that i'm contributing my idle (otherwise wasted) CPU power to such a great cause! I encourage you all to participate in this great project and hopefully in the not-so-distant future, we will start seeing BIG payoffs in research! If i didn't already have my own team | Aussie Rules Footy | Team 52735 | i would certainly have joined the YouTube team 79621!

Great post, but to be correct, it should be named "MacOSX vs Windows" or "Mac vs PC". Otherwise it is like comparing a toaster with electricity =).

I can't do it since my computers are off. My dell dimension 2400 has shitty energy use. My Macbook that I normally use is off most of the time.
rahulisgayfag 4 years ago
this is how i think a lot of people should see it. pc has its advantages in some things and mac has its advantages in some things. I prefer mac over pc just because I am in to video editing, photoshopping pictures, and making dvd's. say what you want but in the end they are both computers.

Curing cancer is kind of impossible on a moral level. Stoping radiation and all toxicants from food? I don't think so.

It's curing current cancer, not its prevention. You are right, prevention is impossible but curing is possible. There are some sometime-working medicines already.

Unfortunately folding@home does not use both of the dual core processors and the application crashes from time to tim. But I keep on folding when I have time to do so.

I was involved in one exchange where I was accused of dodging the question of replacing a Mac with a Windows by a Mac evangelist.
I thought I had already answered by saying that I used both, though I prefer Mac but have things that must be done in Windows.
Nevertheless, the diehards are so ingrained that they accuse and insult EVERYBODY who doesn't share their views.
You're smarter than I am when it comes to dealing with these schmucks.
