Not us.

[H]ardOCP got a negative 12 million point update at 3am.

http://folding.extremeoverclocking.com/team_summary.php?s=&t=33

that put us to 1.4 years overtake.

Of course now, when I went to get a screen shot, the EOC stats are down.

Hmm...probably fixing that. Seems like a mistake to me.

Just kind of a shocker. :eek:

Illegal borg maybe? I'm pretty sure thats the only way to get zero'd.

How would they find out it was an illegal borg? Im willing to bet a large percentage of folding machines are illegal borgs.

I'd imagine that a complaint was filed with Stanford or something...

Please only run Folding@home on machines you either own or on which you have the permission of the owner to run our software. Any other use of Folding@home violates our license agreement (and just isn't a good idea in general).

I'm pretty sure lots of machines are folding without the owners knowledge... the newer clients requirement for administrative privileges help with curbing this, however I doubt Stanford has any other mechanism in place besides this.

Makes me want to double-check all my clients and make sure I've input my Passkey. I know I have it on most of them but it's always good to double-check. :)

I echo Mark... clients w/my name == my machines, period.

Same here, It's probably going to change in the future if I end up with a job thats cool with the idea of participating.

This is an awesome idea, I may enable the passkey feature on all of my machines to be safe.

same here! every single one that's folding under landshark is own and fund right out of my pocket. but yes, anyone would be welcome to help out the funding and/or the power bill tho! :D

yup, I'm going to fill in the passkey on every single one now! I used to just put it in "if" I remember when I set it up..... :o

Probably if you have ALOT of machines, i just got finished using the passkey on all of my clients:

3x GPU on 2x eVGA 8800GTX & 1x Palit 9800GT
3x SMP on 2 quads including 1 VM

Using logmein, it took maybe 5 minutes to cycle through my clients.


I can't stress using a passkey more now that i've done a bunch of reading.... I'm sure most of us have had a few years under our belts, paying good money to the electric gods for all of these hard earned WUs. To have that hard work zero'd is pretty scary.
