1. Hey admins... you guys should have a counter on the ps3fanboy [email protected] stats.. i think the team is up past rank 400 (39x range).

2. even if it could, I would recommend most xbox owners to NOT participate.

I mean, how safe is it really to leave your xbox on at full speed and being unattended to?

seriously, do you want to come home and discover your house is burnt down?

3. Not possible? Hell, you can fold on an old 486 if you'd like, so I don't see how the 360's CPU would be unable to run the program. To headline is more than a little misleading here.

However, I don't doubt that the PS3's performance would be quite a bit ahead of the 360's for this program. Many already-existing Folding teams have gotten quite a boost since the [email protected] client was released for the PS3, and I personally know of at least two people who use their machine exclusively for this purpose.

4. I meant to say "The headline".

(I can't seem to type correctly today)

5. Is it just me, or have we seen some PS3 lovin' lately from several different places? Sure, a lot of it has flambait written all over it, but still, feel the love!

6. You could run [email protected] on a DS or a PSP as well. But amongst consoles the PS3 is the best for this program.


CANT WAIT UNTIL GTA:IV and MERCS:2(sandbox games rock)

7. Wow if only every game was 100% mathematically based.... err they arnt the PS3 is a games console isnt it?

8. Oh, Mikey-

Don't you know much of 3D game programming is all about the math? Tranforms, collision detection, kinematics, physical simulation, etc. The power of the PS3 when used to do these basic functions over faster, over larger data sets is going to blow you away in a year's time. I've included a link for your edification.

9. Tis a shame it hasn't translated into a a larger install base, and better looking games then the 360. Oh well, at least my PS3 can fold at home for the Universities.

10. "I mean, how safe is it really to leave your xbox on at full speed and being unattended to?"

Holy shit, I must be some crazy SOB. I do that all the time and It never does anything. lol Honestly, even if my 360 could do [email protected], I wouldn't have the time to do it. I am always playing my 360, even right now. weeeeeeeee....

11. >. I am always playing my 360, even right now. weeeeeeeee....


That's a lie, everybody knows Xbox Live is the only console (even portable ones) without a webbroswer. ;)

Posted at 8:30PM on May 3rd 2007 by kingofwale

12. I have 10 pcs, guess which one I'm on? Exactly one of them. lol I hope to keep it that way. No webbrower on my 360, don't want mine getting all windows thank you very much. I don't want to hit A everytime a pop ad or something comes up. If my 360 doesn't have Norton then I'm not going anywhere on a webbrowers either.

13. I spelled Webbrowser wrong twice..How Stupid of me. Wooops

Posted at 8:38PM on May 3rd 2007 by Killer

14. Wow. This guy had to be paid off. There is no doubt. You can run [email protected] an any processor (it's the network architecture I would be more worried about). This was either damned ignorant...or paid off.

15. I don't think I'd want my console running when I'm not there, regardless if it's a PS3 or Xbox360. That just wastes my electricity. They're never gonna find a cure for anything really deadly anyway, so what's the point? The world is overpopulated anyway. I guess what I'm saying is: long live the Xbox360.

16. Your mean. If you were dying of a deadly disease wouldn't you want to know people are trying to help?


but this brings up a dilemma.

Save the earth or Save a life.

17. LOL!! No home for me?? rats!! oh well, lemmie get back to these new maps... I have a REAL home and a REAL life. My gametime is too limited to look at walls and trophies...lol speaking of trophies, how many are available now?? 4??? LOL!!

Posted at 10:44PM on May 3rd 2007 by hunchbak

18. Lemmie stop hating... enjoy your HOME... I'll enjoy your GAMES.

LOL!

19. "If you were dying of a deadly disease wouldn't you want to know people are trying to help?"

No. There are plenty of faith-based initiatives already in place for that very purpose, and luckily none of them use technology or science, both of which are highly overrated. Now if you'll excuse me, I'm gonna go to an EBGames and steal an Xbox360... but I'll settle for a PS3... if I have to. Pray I don't get shot the eff up.

20. Just because it keeps coming up, here is some information on the amount of impact a ps3 running home 24/7 for one year has, as well as other common sources of pollution for comparison. All numbers pulled from various sources on the web, and computed by carboncounter.org for Colorado.

Ps3 using an average of 200 kwh of electricity a month. Metric tons of carbon produced = 2.04 annually.
Average midsize car = 4.39
Midsize truck/suv = 5.27
Average electrical usage in a home = 9.15
Flying from LA to NY once = 1.82

And for grins...
Average fast-food restaurant = 183.51, just from electrical usage
