Where do you stand on the permission ethical dillemma?

If you don't have permission and the machines are not yours then it is illegal for you to install FAH on those machines, also the company can prosecute and you would stand the chance of serving real time in prison.

Dude seriously if you don't have permission it's not worth it, go find friendlier computer owners.

well I asked my boss today and he said no problem . He was actually surprised that such a thing existed . I showed him Stanford's page and he was reading for quite a while . I also said semi jokingly that if I couldnt run it I would charge him for tech support , and this was by far the cheaper of teh 2 options .

So how many giggahertz is that?

To me, it depends on who/what/where/circumstances. If its going to affect someone or something in a big way, ask. If not, then i say go ahead and borg it. Whenever im logged onto my computer at my school, i run the graphical client. Sure, itll only fold for a few hours a week, but its better than nothing. Iv also been given the task of finding security flaws in the network, in which i will prove there are flaws in the network by using FAH Imagine, a 500 PC farm? 500 2.8ghz P4's, 1300ghz. So, in my case, iv been given permission to install it. Now i just gotta work at it. LOL

On a side note, i could have done this last year. I found that the admin password on all the computers was "super", coulda borged every one of our PC's at school LOL only thing stopping me now is i need admin access to create a service.

P.S. They found this out when i accidentally ran "net stop server" from command prompt and no one could logon

10. If you don't own them, you have no rights to them, except what is granted to you by the owners.

If I'm drinking at a freind's house, I usually borg their compies anyway and tell them about it in the morning

the computers at work would consist of 5 1.8 Dells , and one 3.06 HT .
3.06 HT is 24/7 both as services
1 9/7 service - dell
1 24/7 console - dell
2 24/7 service - dell
1 20/7 console - dell

so the dells are @9ghz


this goes with my HP 1.5 - service
my 754 @ 2.8 - console
my 2.4 @ 3ghz - service
and soon my 939 @ 2.8ghz - console
if my Jeep ever sells I will be getting an E6600 setup

Ask permission of business's.(Voted 10)
Take advantage of friends and family.

I really want to borg my whole school, with about 3 or 4 computer labs of 20 computers each, and that's only at the upper campus.

They're all 3.0C P4s with HT, which would pack quite a punch if I talked to the school's IT people. I'm already pretty tight with them right now as I'm doing community service, but I wonder if they'd get a folding team going (they've tried SETI before but it's way out of date, so it doesn't really work).

I voted a 7. All 7 computers at work were borged with permission. But any computer I build for friends or family gets f@h installed right of the bat. I even have most of them folding under their own user name.

10. Period.

9.

Just to be different.
