I'd bet that there probably are some, but they are under names that aren't specifically female as they don't care for the hassles. ?? I know I've talked with some gals that have told me they wouldn't sign into anything as a female on the net as there's just too much stuff they have to contend with then.

 

[Unforgiven]

i think there are a few females on the FaD team...

Makes a lot of sense, thanks for that!
But I would think on this forum (DC), they wouldn't get/be allowed any hassle, no ?

Not interested, by this I am making a very large assumption and stereotype in saying that perhaps females are not interested in DC projects. Of course I could just be making an ass of myself. But this assumption does hold true to most females that I have tried to get involved with projects.

Or maybe as Brucifer said, they just do not want anyone to know what sex they are. Easier that way. It is usually assumed that someone on the net in a forum such as this is male, without proof.

Am I wrong?

Hello Brucifer, nice to see you again!

If there are females here, they need to post some pics now!

Am I wrong?

A few months ago I got into Folding@Home, right now I have three boxes going at home crunching molecules.

I told my girlfriend about the project around the first time I started on it.

She said, "Oh really? I saw a professor from Stanford give a lecture about that a year ago."

I said, "Was it Vijay Pande?" (Founder of Folding@Home).

She said, "Yeah! I got to meet him after the lecture. He's a nice guy."

So there you have it. If there was any woman who could possibly get into folding, it'd be a chemistry major who met Vijay Pande. And yet even *she* thinks I'm nuts for running a folding farm at home :roll: She was trying to explain it to her sister on the phone last night - "It's a geek thing. They do it to compete against each other."

I'm not going to stereotype, most people just think the modern PC is a useful "appliance" for word processing, surfing the Web, editing photos, and playing games. My girlfriend is no exception. I wonder if it's a marketing thing... make the PC all warm and fuzzy and most people never realize what kind of fabulous computational beast is lurking right under their nose.

Well, that's one way of putting it

We used to have some female DCers that were active on the forum. I think they left after one of the MOD fiascos here. I know one, Poof, that was also active at Ars Technica, and eventually moved over there permanently. She had for the time a very very nice crunching farm, as well as a kickarse home theater setup. She was a great teammate.

She was an actove RC5 and SETI cruncher:
Poof Team SETIQ thread

That thread was locked at the top of the DC forum for a long time.

Poof, neffing......

It is too bad that more women don't get into DC projects. The more the merrier.

I was trying to find some old threads with pics of Poof's herd and home theater. Didn't find those, but I did find this:
Happy BD Poof

Teammates come, and Teammates go, but they all seem to complain about my singing.

 

[Liontaur]

All your women are belong to us

 

[GLeeM]

If I see a resource that is going to waste, I want to put it to good use. My wife wastes stuff left and right. She tosses perfectly good stuff in the garbage!

There have been female DCers in the past - not sure why they don't stay DCers.

 

[Wolfsraider]

LadyPcer is still active iirc

and I believe there were 2 others but age prevents accurate memory at times lol

[Freewolf]

Hey Andy there's one over on the FaD forum waiting for you.

 

[networkman]

Me thinks it could be a result of us having been promoting the "babes with the hot tub" award over the years a little too much.

I think he hit the nail on the head!

Are we willing to stop?

[Allio]

Well, I just overtook Huntress in Seventeen or Bust about a week ago, but I don't think she's crunched for about a year. But they did exist for a while!

 

[Coquito]

Cocktail parties with wine & cheese from now on. The hot tub room will be renovated into a sitting room, where we can all crochet sweaters for our mother-in-laws.

 

[Spacehead]

Um yeah... some crocheting sounds like a good idea

No way! ,I'm keeping the hot tub & babes going in my section

Btw yo ma ma is an active female member ,I recuited her into SETI some years ago but she's into different projects now.I'm sure she posted within the past few weeks
Also Coffee freak is a woman,who was into S@H,but she hasn't been seen in nearly 5yrs ,she dissappeared after we'd heard she'd been in a car accident............

PS
For the women around here ,there's a hut tub with fit blokes here too ,you've only gotta ask
