    I got a better fix.
    You can still get on with PSN

    go to your internet browser
    and delete your cookies, history, and cache


    i was playing gta iv with psn off
    and when i figured this out

    i was able to play it with PSN on and no more freezing

    hey rc, you really like that folding at home stuff huh?
    its like everytime i see that you are logged in it says that you are running it lol

    its cool that people use folding at home to find cures but i dont think Stanford should be wearing out our systems because they need computer power, why dont they just buy a supercomputer? lol

    Yeah, I suppose not. There were two other joke ones in the original list, I guess that one just got past me.

    I edited that out and put in oomp's PSN.

    From the Folding@Home FAQ:
    It also doesn't seem to wear out PS3s too much from what I understand. I usually only use it when I'm downloading or doing something like that (I rarely leave it running just for the sake of running the application). I actually haven't used it all that often lately relative to how much I ran it before. I don't even have my PS3 hooked up right now to help me focus on studying for finals (yes, I'm that weak :().

    edit: In fact, I should probably log out of CF while I'm at it. :eek:

    I just bought the system, and my GTAIV game updated the firmware so I could play it. I was at 2.17 or something like that , I can't remember.

    I must have missed it where Stanford is forcing us to run the app?

    I don't run it but i know alot of people do just for the hell of it and i have a friend who says it messed up his system and he had to format his hard drive.

    yeah, that's the reason why I never run it

    it's basically equivalent to running your computer's CPU at 100% load 24/7...which shortens the lifespan of the chip. I mean it's fine for a while, but it certainly can't be good for it

    Yeah, I wouldn't run it 24/7. Some people do that, including some of the Folding@Home staff, and they haven't had many issues (if any).

    Like I said, I just run it occasionally when I have the system on but I'm not directly using it. Guess it helps when it takes an hour or so to download a demo or some of the larger content. :(

    Can the PS3 download demos while it's in standby mode or do I have to leave it on still?

    Are you guys still playing multiplayer? I tried it out last night, and some of the games I joined were pretty empty.

    BTW spoiler alert for single player:

    A question about what you did in the game (you have choice)

    Did you kill Playboy or Dwayne? I think I'm going to kill Playboy. I'm out side his house right now trying to make up my mind.
