Yeah. You'd have to be quite ignorant to think something like that, mek.
I don't even agree that it solves Cancer, I think it's a crutch for weak minded individuals to feel all warm and fuzzy and think they're helping the world. The reality is me recycling a can of Pepsi is more helpful.

It's a personal attack no matter what context it's in.
I only ever intended it to be a way of getting my point across. Re-read when I said it,

I didn't say it like "I hope you get cancer because you're an idiot/bad person/I don't agree with you", I said it so that he would then think of people who are folding, and doing their bit. Then he would maybe realise how not pointless the whole operation is.
Then learn to get your points across without personaly attacking someone, tbh.


The fact that you have to wish someone cancer to get your point across only means your arguments aren't good enough.

I fail to see how telling someone to fuck off then proceed to state "Seriously, I hope you get cancer" is anything other than a shameful personal attack.

Anyway, I'm off to watch the football, this thread was interesting.

Look at it this way:

You have a fuck powerful computer that's on 24/7 downloading midget porn. Why not let it do something that might be productive whilst downloading midget porn at night?
The idea of any hi-fi system is to reproduce the source material as faithfully as possible, and to deliberately add distortion to everything you hear (due to amplifier deficiencies) because it sounds 'nice' is simply not high fidelity. If that is what you want to hear then there is no problem with that, but by adding so much additional material (by way of harmonics and intermodulation) you have a tailored sound system, not a hi-fi. - Rod Elliot, ESP

You're just not getting it.

It's not as if we're dropping all the things normal people do for charity etc, it's just that we're doing all those AND folding. Who knows? It might get SOMETHING. I know I still recycle as you put it, I do charity work myself, I give to charity shops, there's a cancer survival store down the road that I have given to myself.

You - Maybe donate, maybe give. K, good.

Us - Maybe donate, maybe give, fold. Adds up to more than you.

Who knows, it probably might not do anything, but like I say, I'd rather spend time on it in the hope that it does than just do nothing.

I didn't say you did agree that it solves cancer, not sure why you took my post as directed at you with that one.

Anyway, those weak minded individuals have more important things to worry about than making sure they recycle a pepsi can, for you see they are smart enough to know which bin to place recyclable garbage.

Because it's that time of the month and you've been directing what comes with the menstrual cycle at me via the pm system for an hour, it was probably aimed at me as I'm the OP. Go ahead and say it was aimed at someone else though, since it's me that's brought this up and argued my side with little help from 1 or 2 others. Safe to say it was aimed at me.

Oh noez I don't know which is recycle bin. Come on, you can do better than that...

Unless you go over the top, not much, really. A normal gaming-grade computer uses perhaps 250-300W idle and 400-450W load.

kk cheers.

i'd fold happily except 1) i doubt the uni network will let me, and 2)xfire doesnt work here so i cant get help.

I leave my PC on 24/7, and i don't pay the bill so w/e.

No, it can easily add up to another £50 a year. All depends on your living conditions.

F@H is self-indulgent 'altruism' in a way that only makes the nerd behind the technology feel good about themselves.

Someone above said it has more practical use to recycle a can. It's probably true. I hate all the mini-Messiah's and awesome philanthropists on this forum that act as if they're fighting for some amazing human-cause, and I hate the ego-geeks that compete for ever better F@H capabilities even more. This isn't just a mindless and pointless hate for someone elses good intention, it's because really - like all charity - these F@H prophets are just doing it for their own self-satisfaction and feel-good factor. If you want to help, sell your house, move to Africa and pledge the rest of your living days working with the humanitarian problems there. Don't sit on an Internet forum and act all smug because you exert the immense effort to leave a process running on your computer alongside your torrents/porn/IRC client whilst you sleep.

But that is a certain amount of CO2, and if thousands of people are leading out, just a few grams of CO2 extra because of this, it can get nasty quite quick.

Weird, it was you who first sent me a pm, 24 hour boy. I'd be genuinely shocked if you could tell me how many days were in a month, for any month of the year, or even how many minutes are in an hour. Your concept of time is truly unique among even the Theoretical physicists of the world.

F@H does not for all intents and purposes increase global Co2 levels.

I simply stated that one would have to be ignorant to believe that F@H was solely directed at Cancer research. Something you easily disputed as not in fact believing yourself and thus not in fact being one of those said ignorant persons.

I don't know why you've taken it so personally. I didn't label you as ignorant, because as you said, you think F@H is so much more than just Cancer research and is a real worthwhile cause (well, maybe you were in that much support of it. But there you go).
