I'll sign on and join our little VGF group when I get home today even though I still don't understand what the Hell this Folding Home thing is anyway. I read the opening post, but I guess I'm a little slow, especially with ADD and the tempature rising outside. I do like looking at the GLobe, it sure is Perty.

You know how Sony should try to cure diseases with the PS3? Stop making it and use the $441 million dollars they would have saved in Q4 to help research programs.

Worst. Idea. Ever! :smile:

I think it's pretty just leaving it on the TV, and I'd like to see how much bandwith I can use for the entire month...


Oh, one more thing: Someone said before there was a way to make it a screensaver type option? How? I don't see that...

It's explained above. Press triangle when ur at the Folding@Home icon in the XMB and it should say Auto-Start.

The Old Dude Clan formed a folding team. We are working our way towards the top of the ranks. Check out our progress at Folding at Home Stats.

Swiss Miss ... sorry to see you are folding alone. Hope some of the 20K+ other PS3 owners out there will join you.

I'd join the PS3 Forums and their folding group.

lol... Some people might not know, but there's no prize for being the number 1 folding team in the United States of America. It's just something to turn my TV on and look at when I specifically forget to power off my PS3, personally.

Statistics are interesting, but I think popularity contests ended in high school.
