I was just wondering who the following were...

1 LigerZero 2989366 14587
2 sculptor(OcUK) 2897512 8217
3 DarkendViper 1811310 12452
4 Sammael(OcUK) 1570195 18124
5 Bigstan 1184772 4549
6 hornytoe 973586 4604
7 growse 845098 3117
8 Steevo38_(OcUK) 807575 3510
9 KE1HA 773045 4502

just wanted to know who the top then were and how the get there points??

Also what is the difference between a PARP and a Stomp?

Also I'm cathing you up Benneh (not sure if he checks in here :p)

PARP when your going to overtake them, STOMP when you do overtake them, as for the top 10, they all got there by cheating :D

Well really by borging a whole school or office or owning far too many personal computers to be considered anything but an unhealthy addiction ;)

Borging is a cool sounding way of saying you run F@H on a computer that isn't your own, but that folds in your name :) Such as i have borged some of my office computers but they all seem to have died now, friends and families PC's can be good sources of borging material, so long as they don't mind anyway, and don't ever borg work PC's without explicit permission :cool:

- most post here, so keep your eye's pealed, all have been folding for some time many with larger farms or small very high spec farms.

Parp - as in an old car horn 'parp parp' means it's a warning that one member is about to overtake another member (by tradition only issued to active folders)
A stomp is issued then the overtake has happened - 'oops sorry didn't see you their as you were travelling to slowly, is that my boot mark on your back, so sorry old chum.'

A re-stomp / de-stomp is the overtaker being overtaken again. Are you still following...

anti-stomp tactics - a sudden increase in production to stop a stomp taking place (usually short lived)

Any person that has been stomped is a slacker (irrelevant of output!) :eek:

Any relevant sub-term or new term will be met with smiles/laughter if issued with style, finesse or down right gloating. :D

Cheers lads, just wondering if the

Windows 2000/XP/Vista
SMP client console version

Is able to run as a service yet??

LigerZero is known as Whitestar on here - the others all go by the same name here as in the stats (though missing the OcUK bits).

LigerZero uses computers at his school that he admins, sculptor's are entirely his own machines run at home as are Bigstan's.
DarkendViper and Sammael both borged loads of machines where they work (I don't recall if they were office/school) but both have had to remove the clients (Sammael's was due his supervisor being a complete tool - I don't remember Darkend's reason) but it's good to see both are still doing what they can.
KE1HA had quite a lot of work borgs also I think though when he relocated to the states he had to bring that to an end - till recently he was still producing quite highly with just home machines I think.
As for the other guys I think they are an assortment of some home rigs and some borgs - it doesn't take that many machines to get a silly output with the SMP client these days :eek: :cool:


Apologies to any details I've got totally wrong - I'm amazed I remembered so much with my quite terrible memory so I wouldn't be surprised if I'd got completely mixed up somewhere :p

Ah ok... well I have a few computers in work I was going to put the SMP client on... but I will wait for the beta to be able to run as a service so that I can install that

be aware that the SMP client will happily use up to about 360MB RAM (what I've seen on my current p2610 WU) and the results files can be pretty large (this one will be about 27MB when finished) so running them on work machines might not be the best plan unless the machines are overspecced or under utilised

overspecced for the win :D

can you lock the open window from being closed ( but can still be minimised ) by silly people who don't understand why its there?

So you would go for the standard client then??

how's about something like this?

http://www.expocenter.com/hideit/


says it's for win95 but I just tried it in XP and seems to work - you could then tell XP to hide the system tray icon, not exactly bullet proof against nosey people but should help it from being closed by accident

edit: there's plenty more of these sort of programs out there, possibly some that hide their own icon unless a specific key combination is pressed or something - worth a look I'd imagine
