All PS3 Trophies

Killer369, You need to get a life.

I don't see any reason to insult F@H, and it's ran by stanford university, not the government. If you have such a big problem, then just leave F@H. We have no way beaten cancer (Jade Goody just died today because of it), and there are a hell load of diseases we haven't found cures for (Ask for examples, and i'd be here all damm day). People should be encouraged to use F@H when not using their PS3, because I don't see it doing any damage. I use it most nights, and have had no problems.

Need me to add to this? Just ask, because I'm just getting started.

Criticising a charity: Quite sad. No, worse still: Very sad.

ok ok. this is gettin way to out of hand.

this will be my last post on the subject.

we have cured cancer. we have the abbility to clone new cells, then replace the cancerous ones with the new ones. and i didn’t state for a moment that F@H was created by the government, however they have their say in it of course. but your unconditioned mind couldn’t understand the conversation at hand, and i can’t blame you for that.

shade:

it seems that you wish to be top dog in this forum, but all i would like for you to do is move past the text books, look beyond the possibilities. if a man tries hard enough he can change the fabric of the stars. if a man tried hard enough he could rid the universe of hate plague famine and dispare.

but a man can also cause these things, a man can bring corruption upon a civilisation that knows not the word, a man can become a destroyer of life and bringer of death.

we have the abbility to change the impossible into the possible.

it took me a long time to understand how these things could happen but i realised the answer is the most obvious one. we must work together.

so i ask you as a bringer of life, will you agree with me? just go against what logic tells you, go with your imaginations and change the impossible to possible.

or are you a bringer of death and resolve your differences through violence, and plague people with corruption and evil. and pay ignorance to those who go against your logic.

take these words and remember them. only through equality shall life prevail.

wow this thread got very out of hand

you know what guys : for people talking like experts about electrons (hey i was shit in physics) , i just want to point out you're mostly incapable of spelling PARTICLE…

yeah i do tend to make that mistake very often.  I do also sometimes spell it particle though.

no… I just enjoy a heated debate, like i said at the beginning of it all.  just because i dissagree with you at every point of your conversation doesn't mean im trying to own the forum.  I can't help it if I enjoy coming here, and you shouldn't be so offended when people argue.

ok, im gonna aim this at the the MAIN POST.

i would love to join, but i have a question (really sorry, i was too lazy to fully read 1st post, but i just scanned through it)..

does this involve leaving the ps3 on for a long period of time? Because i am a very, very high energy consever. Everything in my house is unplugged when it is not being used. I only like to leave my ps3 on for 5 hours at the most, then turn it off for 1-2 hours.

Oh, and i am a high contributer to cancer research, we have all these events like marathons, canoe racing, etc. and i go to as many as i can, and raise money.

parnakas.. you don't HAVE to leave your PS3 on all the time. However you have to leave it going for 4-8hr 'stints' so that the work unit can be fully processed and sent back.. making sure Stanford gets their science.. and you get your points! haha .. now i do appreciate your very green approach .. thats why i included power usage figures above in my main post. If you only did 1 work unit a week, you'd still be helping.. although it'd be great if 4 a week could be done (roughly 1,000 points .. this equals what a 24/7 PS3 can do in a day (1,000 PPD (points per day))) .. Take advantage of the auto-shutdown after current work unit feature.. and you'll maximise your contribution!

Power usage: In my experiences.. a lot of things like modern TVs etc don't actually drain too much from the socket whilst in standby (there is still a fair few products which do) and between the two TVs our family has and a couple of other devices.. total power usage works out to be less than $5/month.. and it gives me the convenience of turning my TV on with a remote control. Lazy? maybe.. but the power usage is negligible.

If you would rather not fold with your PS3, or would rather just not run it too much.. the PC versions make a bit more sense.. as you can do other stuff whilst folding is goin on in the background (it adjusts its CPU usage to only take up the 'left-overs). email me – lahmyaj@hotmail.com if you want further info on this

I'm sure your charity and contributions are very much appreciated! Cheers

@Lahmy88

I am very sorry for enabling the hijacking of your thread.  I hope I haven't deterred you away from this site due to my mistake.  I will talk to the admin about getting a disscussion section.

Once again, I do apologise, and although i do support folding at home, I can only keep my ps3 on when im playing games.  after which i have turn it off completely.

Its ok.. hopefully admin will remove the non-related stuff

Cheers

am i right in thinking that the ps3 needs to be on in order for folding@home to work properly?

I dont suppose theres any chance of a `insurance` thing while were folding because i have still got the release 60gb model and would not be to happy about losing it it may be safe but still leaving it on for so many hours is something i wouldnt normally do.
Also (it might be off topic if so im sorry) but wouldnt it be kinda cool to have a trophy support on F@H i mean it would certainly motivate a lot of us to fold say you get a bronze trophy for every 3 hours folding and for the bigger streaks prehaps a silver for the more longer streaks. sorry for going off topic but its just an idea……

yeah ill join up but only after the 28th of April, getting a bigger HD and wouldnt want to download it twice

I'd really love to get atleast 10 of yas on board for the All PS3 Trophies subteam as i plan to invite people from other websites and forums to join up with their own subteam as well, and it'd be cool to have a bit more competition within the team.

If you not really keen on folding too much i suggest just pickin atleast one day a week where you leave your PS3 folding.. and then before you goto bed, set it to auto-shutdown after current, and that way you'll be clear until next week! I'm gunna try and encourage all my PS3 folding members to atleast fold every friday for 'Foldathon Fridays' so if ya want.. join in on fridays! lol
