Folding at Home for Playstation 3 question

[Snoogans]

I just got my PS3 online, and I started the folding at home program. Now if I exit the program and go play a game, does my PS3 continue to calculate shit until I turn it off and then it shows how far it got the next time i sign on the program?

[Marc with a c]

yes

[Furtherman]

I was never good at folding. The dry cleaners do a better job.

[Sheeplovr]

no its only folding when its open

[Chigworthy]

abolutely not. What's folding?

[sailor]

it depends.

[Snoogans]

Its a program you download to your Playstation 3, that when you log on, it takes a work unit of folding and combining proteins in an effort to help cure diseases. But I figured out it only does it while you have the program running.

[Chigworthy]

Where do you put the proteins?

[Snoogans]

its all done on line, computer generated shit. i guess

[Chigworthy]

So you can't actually mix and fold your own proteins? What a gyp.

[HBox]

I'll send you a vial of proteins. You can fold them, massage them, eat them, whatever you like.

I took the liberty of starting a Whatley Posse team. The team number is 121569.

You see the stats here (http://fah-web.stanford.edu/cgi-bin/main.py?qtype=teampage&teamnum=121569).

I fold faster than Superman on laundry day.

You got to know when it folds.

Just for the record, you don't have to have a PS3 to join the team. You can install the software on your computer.

I would love nothing more than if Fez had to go accept a Nobel for finding the cure for cancer.
