Using the DX9 Network Setup program is already bogged.
Here is a direct link to the redistributable setup file (i.e. the.EXE file)
I'm getting about 100KBps right now. The file is a tad over 30MB. My DL is currently at 99%, so I suppose this is safe to post now:)
"If these ppl do this they should be jailed and bared from science. I hope they are stopped but if its to late and they do it before the feds can stop them, they need to be severly punished. This is life we are talking about we can't allow ppl to just play with it."

Why does there seem to be a proportional relationship between the extremity of a fundamentalist and poor grammar?
Intelligence level, maybe? Nah, couldn't be that...
I don't understand why companies don't include such things on new PCs as an option.
Just include the.EXE file for Folding@Home (or one of the lesser projects:), a link on the desktop and an explanation of what the user can do with his/her idle CPU time. The number crunching power of millions upon millions of PCs wouldn't go to waste.
While a Sysadmin at a very large hotel chain, which I can't specify (but it's a BIGGUN'), I used every machine on the network to fold protein. Did the math once and it came out to being something like a 80GHz machine w/ a couple gigs of RAM.
We even got as high as 22 in the overall rankings.
I recommend that other people in charge of large networks do the same. It hurts NOTHING, but could do a lot of good.
"It's not just for entertainment, they also do it for food."
This reminds me of a discussion I was got in with a friend of mine that hunts for 'sport'. (as if shooting an animal taking a drink of water from 500 yard away with a rifle is 'sport'. jump on a deer's back and snap its neck with your bare hands, THEN you can call it a sport) Anyway, my argument was that eating cow meat was more humane because the animal yielded more meat, and as such, fewer animals had to die to reach the desired meat yield.
"If people aren't supposed to eat animals then why are they made out of meat?"
Humans are also made out of meat. And I *rarely* eat humans. The smell turns me off.
I think Pam lost a lot of her sex appeal when she contracted a DEADLY, CONTAGIOUS VIRUS.

No wonder she chose an 'occupation' that doesn't require interaction with others. She looks like a smacked ass!
Blah. It's even a Photoshop filtered black & white picture, which is usually done to make someone look good. They had to do it to her just to upgrade her face to hideous.
"As they were leaving, they all piled into one elevator. Mr. Blackley was the last to come diving in. The elevator was already sinking...Once Mr. Blackley was inside, the elevator promptly fell four floors to the ground."
The article fails to mention that there were only 5 people in the elevator.

I'm with you 100%. If you even mention that America might not be corrupt to its core, you get flamed for being a naive flag-waver.
The few Americans that have travelled extensively generally get a tourist's point-of-view of other countries. I've been (un)fortunate enough to partake in business dealings with other countries.
Stuff that would get you fired and/or arrested in America is widely accepted, and even encouraged in other countries.
I worked aboard a cruise ship and assisted the pursing department when the ship pulled into port. The port agents *expect*, not ask for, not hint, *expect* a bribe to make sure all the paperwork goes through smoothly.
We kept a stock of whiskey bottles, wine and cartons of cigarettes in the captain's meeting room just for this reason. Some of the nastier agents/ports will require an envelope stuffed with money. Once in Turkey, the captain had to pay $5000 cash to avoid a $40,000 'fine'.
And this happens in countries you wouldn't expect.
France, Italy, Portugal and Spain were the 'least worst' offenders, with Italy being a little dirtier. Their port agents held a server that was shipped from the U.S. until we paid a $1000 duty. We told them to shove it, and had it re-routed to France. Their port agents only charged us a $500 duty...
These fees are negotiable, you see, depending on the scumminess of the particular agent.
Greece is bad. 50% of the cargo we had shipped to Greece somehow 'disappeared' from the port authority.
India, Morocco and Turkey are borderline criminal. Want your luggage to get through Customs? Better have a 20-spot in your pocket.
In fact, Gibraltar was the only port that didn't require greasing some port official's palm. It's run by Brits, so no surprise there.
I never appreciated America more than when I tried to do business overseas.
"...upon cracking open the phones, they found not [a] disposable cell phone..., but a jury-rigged Nokia."
Isn't this a good thing? The worst hit from this will be taken by Nokia, because now consumers will wonder why they are being charged $150+ for the innards of a phone that goes for $30.
This should be pure joy for gizmo hackers.

Wrong. They can afford it, they simply would rather pay less. From a business standpoint, it makes sense, but it's still a shitty thing to do while the country is in a recession. Allow me to introduce you to a bit of Western philosophy: Charity starts in the home.
"...because Amercian workers complain if they have to work more than 40 hours, and because American workers are typically not as dedicated or as well educated as their off-shore counterparts (especially in ANY aspect of engineering).
This is a case-by-case scenario. For years I've worked the quirky hours of a network engineer and not once have I ever complained. But yes, I've met the type of people you're referring to. I'll even further agree that foreign IT workers, as a whole, do work harder than their American counterparts.
"I come to American to work, earn money, and send my savings home to support my family."
That's very nice. But because you're here, you are preventing an American from doing the same thing.
"This is a great country, but when people that call themselves US citizens feel infringed, they immediately attack foriegners."
This case is cut and dry. H1B workers take American jobs. Period. If all the H1B workers left, there would be more jobs for Americans. And since it is our country, I'm sure you'll understand that we think Americans should have first access to those jobs.

Yeah. That's probably it. Because we blame foreigners for everything...
I'll tell you like I told a flock of Europeans I met while traveling: Americans do not care about foreigners. When I say we don't care, I don't mean we hate them. I mean we really don't care. They never enter our minds. I spend more time choosing what movie I'm going to see than I do about the petty causes of some country I've never been to.
And that's the way it should be.
Maybe if these countries spent more time thinking about themselves and unfucking their own lives/governments/economy/etc., they wouldn't even need to come here to work.
