VERY IMPORTANT FOR ANYONE JOINING THE TEAM!

To be a part of the All PS3 Trophies subteam.. you'll have to follow this exactly

Still use 52735 as your team no. but you'll have to put this username in, instead of what i used in my first post (which i cannot edit now sorry)

Type everything exactly as below.. subsituting username for what you'd like as your name

If you are folding on a PlayStation 3 .. please use this format:

[AllPS3Trophies.com]_username_PS3

Otherwise leave the _PS3 off the end such as:

[AllPS3Trophies.com]_username

The changes have been made to encourage ppl to visit allps3trophies.com and the brackets help in differentiating between regular team members and those in subteams.

Thankyou

Come on guys, you get get a little competition going between you and ya mates, and best of all it will benefit protein research!

You can even put a sub-team within a sub-team if you like.. just ask me how… Theres gotta be some Killzone 2 clans or other game clans out there that would be able to use Life with PlayStation a little, whilst ya not on the games.

Put it this way, there is well above 10 million PS3s out there, less than a million have ever tried Life with PlayStation / Folding@Home, and only 40,000 of those are 'actively' folding (roughly one work unit a week to be active).. Folding@Home is a great project and i know there would be a lot of people out there who would fold a lot, simply if they knew about the program and if they had friends folding as well.

Cheers guys!

i dont see why people download this yea it helps cure cancers but its a waste of memory and i heard a rumour that when you on this it uses more electric which is charging you more i dont know if that true but if it is i think its a really dumb idea

atomic-g: its not a waste of memory, its donated memory. it also doesn't use any more electricity to run any app on a ps3 than it does to simply run the ps3.

shadeblack: good you ripped killer apart, and that the discussion was over with before I saw this thread. I work very closely with radiation oncology (I'm a radiation safety specialist), and am studying for a medical physics degree with a focus in oncology, and many many things in that discussion made me wanna smack him around and teach him about the reality of causes and therapies for cancer today. The hospital I work at is about to open a new proton therapy unit, which is one of the most advanced types of cancer therapy units in the world (only five exist currently)! We are very excited here about it, check it out sometime if you or anyone else is interested, just google proton therapy, its very cool stuff. And you are correct sir about there only being one type of electron. There is a particle that is identical except is opposite in charge, called a positron as well. Then there is anti-particles… but thats a whole other realm of things.

Lahmy: Great you brought this to light. I looked at Life with Playstation briefly once, but never realized what it really was or did. I have a busy weekend and work has been hectic, but I will definitely look into this next week at some point. I do have some concerns though, because my PS3 acts funny if I leave it on for extended periods of time. I can't figure out if its overheating or what, sometimes it just locks up. So I'll sign up and do a few runs and see what happens. If I have any trouble figuring things out I'll either post here or just send you a PM.

The PlayStation 3 is a super-reliable piece of kit.. My PS3 has been folding close to 18 months straight, and without a hiccup! I know there is blokes out there who have been running for over 2 years straight with no troubles as well.

If there is troubles with ya PS3, i'd suggest you contact Sony Support. What 'funny' things is it doing, i might have heard of it before. How often does it lock up? I keep my PS3 in a very open area, DO NOT run your PS3 in an enclosed cabinet.. its the quickest way to kill it! Also, is yours an original 60 or 20GB model, or one of the first 80GB models? Coz i believe they're using 90nm CELL chips and use about 200W of power whilst folding, so obviously get fairly bloody warm! I've got a 40GB which uses about 125W whilst folding, but in Summer, anything over 30 degrees C inside will make the fan spin loud as.. so just watch where u place the PS3 in ya lounge room. Place it as low as possible (heat rises) and whilst ya home, leave windows open in ya lounge room when ya room temperature is a fair bit higher than outsides (when obviously its also comfortable for you to do as well)

Anyone with any questions at all bout LwP/F@H can either post here or send me a PM.. i'm easy.

Also i'd like to make a request with the forum moderator to please sticky this post (its the site's Folding@Home team) and please remove all the crap posts clogging the first couple of pages, because i'm sure there is people who begin to read this thread, then get turned away by all the outright negative, misinformed material that they read after my first post. Thankyou

Run Life with PlayStation.. hold square and hit down on d-pad to goto the Folding@Home channel.. Press triangle.. and goto current channel.. then identity.. then go join existing team.. type 52735 as your team no. then this bit is very important to join the 'subteam'.. type your name exactly as below (using Domba_car as the example name)

[AllPS3Trophies.com]_Domba_car_PS3

thats.. square bracket.. AllPS3Trophies.com exactly as is.. square bracket .. underslash.. your name.. underslash PS3 (leave off '_PS3' if you join with a computer)
