Yeah, doesn't do anything. It should still work when it's on sleep. No idea about the consequences, I personally don't notice it myself.



This thread is icky sticky now. ;D

You don't show up on the team roster till you have a WU complete. My first WU was like 5000 (as is my current one on one PC) so it took a while to finish and then it was the next day before my name was added to the team roster.

I've never noticed any problems with my computer while using except for one thing. If you're using the graphical version you'll have to close it if you want to run any other OpenGL application. I tried to play a game of Diablo II the other day and figured that one out. Now I just use the text only console version instead.

Actually, I'm not so sure if it works when the computer goes into sleep mode. I'm thinking most likely not though. Also, I wouldn't install it on work computers without asking first, but if you if told em about it they might be fine with it.

O_o Cool, I didn't think you'd actually sticky it, but I guess there are already two stickies in MoS. I never noticed they were stuck b'fore.

quick question...downloaded the program and all and booted it...last line it says on the app. is "Completed 0 out of 500000 steps" Is it supposed to be like that?

edit-omg just checked and it says it'll be done by dec.28 O_O

Pritcher 11-13-2007 08:40 AM

Give it a few minutes and check again. It should go down to probably a day or two.

LOOOOL!

Mine was REALLY REALLY slow when I first installed it... so yeah, just wait, it should eventually go back to normal... xD

@Hessah - The program does still work if your computer goes to sleep. I can attest to that.

@Bla~ahs - And YAH!!!!! *jumps up and down* We were stickied!!!! Now we just need to keep it bumped so other people will join us in saving the world from cancer!!!

@Pritcher - My son amazes me with what he knows about computers. When I first told him about this program, he wanted it installed on his computer, so I did, and then I told him to go to the website and read about it. Back when I was having my problems with my Core Download, he started spouting all this information out about main servers and network flows, and a whole bunch of other stuff that I did not understand. He had actually read the website and took in all the info. on the program and how they use our computers to help their main computer and all that. He is only 11, but knows more about computers than I do, lol. Guess it helps growing up on one. I grew up on one to, but he likes to know the know-how behing them where I just wanted to play games on mine.
