{Droog4} hi hi do you do Folding@Home ?
{Phrost} yes sir
{Droog4} oh cool, on that team?
{Droog4} i fold solo so far
{Phrost} you wanna join me?
{Droog4} well ummm i am thinking this would be a Good Idea
{Phrost} sure!
{Phrost} definitely
{Droog4} are you deeply fascinated with biochemistry, or are you a psycho overclocker freak?
{Phrost} a little bit of both but a little bit of neither
{Droog4} do you run some awesome computer?
{Phrost} i'm folding out cuz there's no reason not to
{Phrost} my computer is decent
{Phrost} i'm trying to win a contest for my forums
{Droog4} well i am in the enviable position of being about to buy a new PC
{Phrost} mine is pretty new
{Phrost} c2d e6600
{Droog4} all the other things my computer does takes no real fancy hardware
{Droog4} but what sorta thing should i look for if i want to Fold Fast
{Phrost} i suggest a core 2 duo
{Droog4} oh the intel chip
{Phrost} yes
{Droog4} okay,in the past i have tried to be a Man of the Common Folk, and used AMD
{Droog4} also save $80
{Phrost} AMD is no longer top chip
{Droog4} okay i specify the core 2 duo
{Phrost} yea
{Phrost} where did you find out about the chan/me anyway?
{Droog4} psychic powers, i was born with them
{Droog4} i did a channel list with the word Fold
{Droog4} see Topic
{Phrost} wow
{Phrost} that's cool
{Droog4} here, i whore my blog now: http://vleeptronz.blogspot.com/
{Droog4} well i remembered there's a folding channel on Undernet
{Phrost} wtf
{Droog4} 4 guys, 3 or 4 of them always sleeping
{Droog4} another folding team
{Phrost} well i'd appreciate the support
{Droog4} i never folded competively, do you win free trips to palo alto?
{Phrost} nope
{Phrost} lol
{Droog4} team folding builds character, that's what my high school coach told us
{Phrost} lol;
{Phrost} yep
{Droog4} he's doing 4 years in Lompoc for some sort of perv thing
{Phrost} LOL
{Droog4} okay when santa claus brings me my nifty new core 2 duo computer, how do i join your team?
{Phrost} just download the client and configure it
{Phrost} you can even do it now if you want
{Droog4} no, itmakes no sense to join now and then have to re-join in a couple of weeks
{Droog4} or somesuch paradigm
{Droog4} you should always take an over the counter stool softener when you shoot heroin, the chief side effect of heroin is constipation
{Phrost} yea i know
{Phrost} you can join now
{Phrost} every little bit helps
{Droog4} hmmmm okay
{Droog4} sounds like fun
{Droog4} talk me thru it, i do this once every 5 years
{Phrost} you use windows?
{Droog4} oh soprry, yes, windowsME now
{Droog4} i guess next month Vista
{Phrost} ew winme
{Phrost} i haven't seen that in aw hile
{Droog4} tell me about it, MS no longer supports it
{Phrost} use xp
{Droog4} better than the new vista?
{Droog4} got to go now, i will be back after dinner
{Droog4} keep typing useful folding stuff here
{Phrost} lol
{Phrost} you want the link?
{Phrost} i can get you set up

{Phrost} ohhh
{Phrost} ok
{Droog4} i got a new page with 2 PhrostByte hits

{Phrost} i used to fold for google
{Phrost} i will again in about a month
{Phrost} but for now i fold for CAG
{Droog4} now i have a page with PhrostByte's stats
{Phrost} that's me
{Droog4} there's a block with your google stats and a block with your CAG stats
{Phrost} yep
{Droog4} and now what do i do?
{Phrost} http://vspx27.stanford.edu/cgi-bin/main.py?qtype=userpage&username=PhrostByte
{Phrost} you have the software already?
{Phrost} the graphical windows client?
{Droog4} i am running folding as we speak
{Phrost} windows gui client?
{Droog4} got the little red protein icon
{Phrost} ok
{Phrost} right click
{Phrost} go to configure
{Phrost} and enter PhrostByte 53337
{Phrost} hit OK
{Phrost} and it should start folding for me

{Droog4} my RL name is (yawn) Bob
{Droog4} so like now i am folding, but for this team?
{Droog4} it's that simple?
* Droog4 has no experience with computer things that simple
{Phrost} hahaha
{Phrost} you're funny
{Phrost} yep now you're folding for me
{Phrost} if you double cick on the protein icon
{Phrost} it should show you the screen
{Droog4} check this out, my first post about Folding:
{Phrost} will read
{Phrost} brb
{Droog4} hot damn! i'm folding for PhrostByte Team 53337 !
{Droog4} i'm making a Team T-shirt tomorrow!
{Phrost} hahaha
{Phrost} awesome
{Droog4} it's been decades since i was on a team
{Droog4} i was Emperor Ming the Merciless of the Planet Mongo Rocket Forces, an amateur rocket launching club
{Phrost} that's cool
{Phrost} where are you from
{Droog4} drive west 2.5 hours from Boston
{Droog4} look for a blue house
{Droog4} park
{Phrost} figures
{Droog4} where do you go to college?
{Phrost} MA person
{Phrost} umbc
{Phrost} university of maryland in baltimore county
{Droog4} aha aha aha
{Droog4} well anyway
{Droog4} if you were a girl
{Droog4} and rich
{Droog4} or very smart
{Droog4} you might go to the small liberal arts all-wimminz college in my town
{Droog4} Smith College
{Droog4} Northampton Massachusetts
{Phrost} brb
{Droog4} also brb, but shit, it's 10 degrees F out there
{Droog4} what class r u taking?
* Droog4 is nosey as shit
* Droog4 was highly paid to be nosey as shit
{Phrost} what classes?
{Phrost} i have experimental design & analysis 2, sociology 101, physiology, intervewing techniques, research assistance, and soccer
{Phrost} no
{Droog4} design and analysis of what?
{Phrost} experiments
{Phrost} lol
{Droog4} dinosaurs roamed the earth when i went to college
{Phrost} hah
{Droog4} you mean like double blind thingies?
{Droog4} and something about Bayes
{Phrost} yea double blinds
{Phrost} social science experiments... conclusions based on statistics and stuff
{Phrost} matching probabilities to alpha levels
{Phrost} z-test, t-test, anova, chi-square
{Phrost} etc
{Droog4} Bayes's theorem (also known as Bayes's rule or Bayes's law) is a result in probability theory
{Droog4} i can't believe i remembered something about that
{Phrost} hah
{Droog4} 94 percent of all heroin addicts started with milk
{Droog4} 88 percent of all traffic fatalities had consumed pickles during the prior 48 hours
{Droog4} you know who Laurie Anderson is?
{Droog4} anyway she said she knows this guy who always carries a bomb with him when he flies
{Droog4} because he read that the odds against there being 2 bombs on the same plane are 4,000,000,000,000 to 1
{Droog4} i have had girlfriends who were more dependable than causal relationships
{Droog4} christ almighty i've actually used chi-square
{Phrost} oh ya?
{Phrost} for what?
{Droog4} okay i think i was programming iterated dice throws
{Droog4} and used chi square to see if i was really getting random dice throws
{Phrost} hmm
{Phrost} sounds kinda pointless
{Droog4} much that i do is pointless
{Droog4} but i'm into Number Theory
{Phrost} hah
{Phrost} right on
{Droog4} computer program randomizers are notoriously un-random
{Phrost} 'are they?
{Droog4} if you have a serious application, you need to be sure that your (synthetic) random numbers are acting randomly
{Phrost} very true
{Droog4} check out "Art of Computer Programming" by Knuth, his discussion of computer random numbers will be about as good and clear as it gets
{Phrost} i got too much to read as it is
{Droog4} no, this is an important book, shoplift it soon and keep it forever
{Droog4} 3 volumes
{Droog4} did you have to read Weber's Protestant Ethic & Rise of Capitalism (for sociology)?
{Droog4} it made my brane bleed
{Phrost} no
{Phrost} i just took socy 101 this semester
{Phrost} brb
{Droog4} you are one lucky sociology student
{Droog4} Max Weber will bore you until you no longer wish to live
{Phrost} hah
{Droog4} Max is called The Father Of Sociology
{Droog4} prepare to meet your daddy
{Phrost} max weber
{Phrost} i think i heard of him
{Droog4} try to sound more confidant and knowledgable if your sociology professor is listening
{Phrost} i've been in the class 3 times already :P
{Phrost} i'm also majoring in it
{Phrost} so i'm gonna take 3-4 socy classes next semester
{Droog4} oh yes, soon you and Max Weber will be dancing the tango bigtime
{Phrost} great
{Phrost} psyc/socy double
{Droog4} have you ever entertained the idea of taking a Hard Science course?
{Phrost} i'm taking physiology now
{Phrost} i've taken biology and astrophysics before
{Droog4} hmmmmmmm oh yeah physiology
{Droog4} astrophysics!!!
{Droog4} unglaublich!
{Droog4} okay i find you Worthy
{Phrost} hah
{Phrost} i got an A
{Phrost} but i got a C in biol :(
{Phrost} i only got 3 C's so far
{Phrost} biol, math 106 and math 150
{Droog4} i got an A in symbolic logic, but then had to spend 3 months in an insane asylum
{Droog4} as Talking Barbie used to say (before Mattel had to recall her): "Math is hard!"
{Phrost} i got a B in critical thinking then spent 39 days in jail
{Droog4} you got me beat by 38 days
{Droog4} i had to set an alarm clock and drive 25 miles to make sure i'd get arrested
{Phrost} heh
{Droog4} what part of Balmer do you live in?
{Droog4} near what?
{Droog4} also i hope you like chesapeake bay crabs
{Phrost} i like crabs
{Phrost} but i like crab salad
{Phrost} don't bother eating them themselves
{Phrost} i live in nw baltimore county
{Phrost} 5 minutes from the city border
{Droog4} whatever, Balmer is Mecca for crabs
{Droog4} i grew up in DC
{Phrost} cool
{Droog4} every summer all the teens from DC and Baltimore meet in Ocean City to exchange genetic material
{Phrost} hahaha
{Phrost} good way of looking at it
{Droog4} was there some other plan i was missing?
{Droog4} seemed pretty clear to me
{Phrost} just worded appropriately
{Phrost} which is rare
{Droog4} words R me
{Droog4} U of Md has some sort of Honor College on the Eastern Shore now?
{Droog4} just heard such a rumor
{Phrost} umes?
{Phrost} i go to an honors college
{Droog4} if u say so
{Phrost} but i'm not in the honors program
{Phrost} i guess i could b e

{Droog4} ZJ is about soldiers in the Vietnam War

{Phrost} like do you ingest illegal substances
{Phrost} hahah cool
{Phrost} me only once

{Droog4} i had to do a week of research at Enoch Pratt
{Droog4} very cool place
{Droog4} also i like your light rail system
{Droog4} and your baseball stadium
{Phrost} what is that
{Phrost} i thought most public libraries are named after enoch pratt
{Droog4} well you might be right, i mean The Big-Ass Main Library with greek columns and shit
{Droog4} i don't know Balmer too well
{Phrost} oh
{Phrost} it's been a while since i went to the local library
{Phrost} sometimes i go to the umbc library though
{Droog4} they had microfilm of a couple of newspapers that went back to the 1700s and i was doing an article about colonial maryland
{Droog4} okay i have to vanish now, thanks for the help with the Team
{Droog4} and the chip advice
{Phrost} np
{Phrost} stop by some time dude
{Phrost} the chan i mean
{Droog4} oh have you noticed? there are 3 dots doing Folding in Iran on the world map
{Droog4} a handful of people in Tehran and the rest in the university city
{Phrost} that's insane
{Phrost} so few people do it
{Droog4} i think it's soooooooo cool
{Phrost} lol
{Droog4} like we're about to declare war on them, and these guys just want to fold the proteins
{Droog4} just like me
{Phrost} hah
{Phrost} we should declare war BECAUSE they don't fold
{Droog4} absolutely!
