eroda spotted this lifelike robot. But it's the little, "unconscious" movements that give the robot its eerie verisimilitude: the slight flutter of the eyelids, the subtle rising and falling of the chest, the constant, nearly imperceptible shifting so familiar to humans.

Ellroy80 sent word of a new OCAU Folding sub-team, which is moving up the ranks rapidly: The new OCAU subteam is called Team Xtreme Folders Australia, with TeamXFAU being our username. Our aim is to attract: 1) inactive folders back to folding, and 2) small folders that might be losing their interest in folding as they find it difficult to move up the ranks. Basically, we want to keep people folding for OCAU. We intend to attract people/keep them on board by targeting F@H’s big producers, both within OCAU and the world. This continually gives us something to aim for, which keeps things interesting. We have a post up in the distributed computing forum here where interested people can find out all the info.
