crunch baby, crunch with cpu's cause flu ain't really interesting to me. And that makes it a waste of resources.
Fold baby, fold with what GPU's are left. Until they all burn up. Then wait on Kepler and do it all over again.

Please stop spreading false information.

To my knowledge, the only way to ensure that you are only doing influenza research is to fold BigAdv WUs.  The extreme irony of this is not lost on me.

Folding SMP and uniprocessor clients covers a wide variety of protein folding research.  If you want to know what you are actually folding, search the detailed project information.  If you want to get an idea of what is available, look at the project summary.  Yes, there is some influenza research, namely anything by Dr. Kasson. 
I'm not saying don't crunch or fold however you feel appropriate, but CPU folding is not strictly influenza research unless you are running the current generation of BidAdv.

As of this morning (and I know these things do shift a bit), but the overtake for [H] has dropped to 7.3 months.  Whatever we do (assuming that we do care about being #1), we'd better start doing it soon.  My hat is off to the people at [H] as well because they are cranking like a well-oiled machine and it deserves recognition.

Yup, and they slowly closed the monthly gap and have recently overtaken us and continue to gain ground. 

One thought I cannot ignore, though is that OCN is doing the same.  They are not top-heavy laden like [H].  This leads me to believe it is something we are doing different rather than something [H] is doing different.

Again, I point out that the past year we have very little increase in output.  This is a break from our own team history, that other teams are not experiencing.  If we want to retain the #1 spot, we have to figure out why and do something about it.  If we're cool with dropping to second or third, then we can keep doing what we're doing.

We (OCN) found ways to bring a lot dedicated folders to our team with the Team Challenge(team vs team competition), Foldathons(all out folding for 2 days a month). On top of that we taken advantage of HPCS and started building 2/4p rigs too. So its a combination of a lot of diferent things we are doing to promote folding and recruit new members. Above all, we make our forum kinda fun.

By your own admission he is not spreading false information. As you stated, there are wu's in the SMP pool that are focused on influenza. Seeing as how Stanford gives the donor no way to filter what wu's they want to specifically work on, anyone who is folding SMP will more than likely be donating to that project.

Whether it takes some friendly competition or a passion to fold all the proteins, the large increase in PPD for all teams is a nice thing to see.
