    government have fantastic feed in tariffs at the moment for solar power, even without the grant the payback time is very favorable

    Those feed in tariffs are up for review though (possibly because they are so high), so would be stupid to commit to something without knowing it's future

    Currently we are on a "green" energy plan at the insistence of swmbo, it is a little bit more expensive, but she says every little helps, I say the electric still comes from the coal and gas plants, and they are just planting some trees somewhere to "offset" the carbon emissions so why not just get the cheaper one and sow our seed elsewhere?
    I love the image of you and the mrs driving round the uk, sowing your seeds everywhere. Copper tapping on your car window while in the process of sweeeeeeet love, you winding down the window and responding "I'm reducing global warming". Nice.

    Shame I only drive a Peugeot 106. No room for Mrs Tatty and any trees and any sowing....

    I've only just been looking into Solar power recently following one of my colleagues having them fitted. I didn;t realise it's actually the government who are paying you rather than the electrical companies, based on what you produce. Seems to me that as soon as they become widespread and too expensive for the G'ment to pay for, they'll drop it like a hot potato and leave you with a white elephant to maintain...

    Damn, you're gonna pass me in no time
    Here's a tip for an extra 15,000 points per day, change your F@H client config to include the username Rob_norb17, it's a trick they don't want you to find out but it really works!

    Re: Folding Chit-Chat

    looks like the big adv units are drying up. 2 of my servers have failed back to standard smp units now.

    Re: Folding Chit-Chat

    One of mine has too. Down to only 30kppd

    the two slower machines downloaded some which no show with "unknown" cores. I guess that's the experimental one....

    Ah well...

    You shouldn't get any experimental ones if you're not a beta tester. Besides, the upcoming fahcores are going to be called a5

    Strange that.

    it actually refers to them as "unlisted"

    Same sort of PPD as BIGADV. I wonder with the BIGADV units drying up, whether they are the ADVMETHODS ones....

    They will be Advmethods cores, depending on how well the beta testing is going they could be early test releases of the a5 core, or they could just be a test of a new project on a current core.

    I have, don't see any changes. It just supports the future fahcore_a5 work units, so, I think, you will be able to run this unupgraded to v7 client for longer.

    Edit: wrong me. It's just for bigadv.

    So those of you who see bigadv work units drying up, try changing to 6.34 SMP client
