Folding@Home is now running on all of the lab computers. Sometime I'll figure out how to make sure that it runs on start up...
... and an hour later got berated for not asking permission to "make a change in the lab"... nice. Yeah, I'll ask you next time I need to compile something, because hey that's a user level program too. And I'll ask permission to go out to web sites because a browser is a user level program. My God!!! I thought I was escaping this kind of lunacy when I left corporate America!!! When you have to ask permission for little things like this, it says two things. One, the professors over the lab don't trust you - fine. And two, they don't want anything to get done. If all they wanted was someone to make up a web page I can recommend other people for that.
