HAHAHAHA!!!
Not very well received.
What ? Because Urban said take it to a blog ?
Smooth move DanS. Could you be any more
childish?
I'm trying to top you.
I guess the truth hurt you bad and you had to lash out.
Very entertaining.
The truth is that as of up to now you haven't view the video proof that
Folding can run fine on a less-endowed XP PC ? And that you have
offered no valid proof to prove me otherwise other than to point me
into the user forums with shows problem on any OS.
A couple notes:
1. The links/posts he claims to have provided are conveniently not on
the MS servers. I WANT to see the video if the idiot would ever post
it. I would love to see what he did wrong.
First, if you are speaking of the msgID of the post quoted in what you
replied to here, then no, it's not on the MS server. I said that was
from March 17, 2007, the MSNews server only have post back to March 27
as of this morning. Of course, that's my fault, I *conveniently* hacked
into the MS news server and set it only to 30 days retention. So, if
the reason you mention it is because you can't believe you said
something reasonable, then here's a GG link to that message.

Watch for wrapping of the URL (Uniform Resource Locator).
(And by the way, GG stands for Google Groups, you go THERE to search
for a Usenet msgID, NOT the WWW search at google.com. Which is what I
see you did since the other post in the other thread said you couldn't
find it in a search at Google, you even had the msg ID in your post.
Which I tested and did not get any search results at the WWW Google
search, but at the GG search, it immediately returned the msg.
Let me explain something here, and this is NOT meant to be derogatory,
but look at it from my point of view. You try to come across on this
side of the internet as all-knowing about computers and the internet
and such, saying you use all different OS's. But then fail to know that
those aren't links, but msgID's instead. I've also mentioned several
times either Google Groups or GG, but you use the main Google WWW
search page to try to find a post by msgID ?
It's little things like that, that faulter your credibility....with me
anyway.)
And yes, their are missing posts on the MS server in the previous
thread. Probably the post where I mention that I tried it on my work PC
also.
As for the video, so then why didn't you d/l it yet ? Because it's not
on an MS server ?
Fine, my ISP's user WWW server is back up, can I make it any easier ?
(These are WWW hyperlinks, you should just be able to click on the
links and a browser window should open up and start streaming the
video. You can double click right ?)

2. He's proven he does not listen. I state MANY machines, he replies
with ONE machine.
No, in the post you just replied to here, I mentioned that a total of
3...yes 3 XP boxes I've tried this on don't have a problem with it.
And seriously Justin, now you say you stated MANY machines. That is not
how this whole debacle started....
Your post <
[email protected]>
---------------------------------------
The best/quickest example I can give is the following:
SAME MACHINE:
XP:
Run Folding@Home on max level. CPU hits 100%. System is slow to
respond
and running anything else (IE, OE) is pointless. You simply can not
use the
machine productively in any way.
Vista:
Run Folding@Home on max level. CPU hits 100%. System is quick to
respond.
You can run any other applications with no problems and only a slight
(VERY
SLIGHT) performance hit.
That is "APPLICATION PERFORMANCE.....PERIOD."
--------------------------------------------------
And you claimed it was ONLY because you were using Vista now instead of
XP, therfore, Vista handle intensive apps better.
How did it go from XP can't run Folding @ 100%, to MANY XP PC's have
problems ? You started this whole thing by not believing that Folding
had no consequences on my PC. And continuing on with each post asking
for proof, and still not believing.
Now, it's only MANY XP PC's. This would lead me to believe that you
HAVE seen it/XP work properly. So what's your problem with my claim
that my PC acts fine ?
MANY XP machines. Guess what, MANY Vista machines have issues too with
it, so there goes that theory.
My point is that in the one example YOU supplied, the OS has nothing to
do with it.
If you can generalize based on *A* Vista PC, YOURS, I can generalize
based on MY PC. If you can ignore problem Vista PC's, I can ignore
problem XP PC's.
I claimed to run the app wide open, he failed to
mention that on the forum...and so on...
It is running wide open as shown in the video.
And yes, you are right, I failed to mention that in the forum, just as
YOU failed to mention the replies that said everythings fine on their
end too. And you also forgot to mention the person saying 'run it in
console mode' was really.....if you have problems, run it in console
mode.
And you also failed to read this on the forum....
---------------------------------------------
The console client OS on either Windows (W2K/XP/Vista) or Linux is not
known to be impacted by drivers and other s/w (network connection
configuration and firewall excluded). It will run fine on whatever OS
is used (unless there is a hardware problem such as bad memory, poor
cooling or OCed too high). With the proper configuration (as I posted
above), it should not have any significant impact on the performance of
the system.
Other clients might have an impact (e.g. Windows graphic client with
some video cards). Setting the configuration can also have an impact,
especially if have insufficient RAM when permit large projects to run.
----------------------------------------------
This was posted by a 4-star 'Folder' since April 2005, who may have a
greater knowledge about Folding than you.
Again, this post leads me to believe that it's all in the PC
hardware/driver configuration and you just happened to have a bad combo
under XP, but under your Vista hardware/driver configuration, all of
the drivers/software play together better.
Just as they play fine together on my XP machine, which, you led me to
believe, was not possible.
(Incidentally, the Folding@Home GUI client at max eveything, including
'Allow projects over 5 megs', has been running on this PC overnight and
still shows of sign of misbehavior.)
