FOLDING AT HOME is cool

[Harper]

Even though I don't do these sort of things, I have to comment that at least with Folding @ Home is some thing that will come out with a result that will benefit the rest of the world.

Unlike that SETI ALPA thing which is just there for all those people that think that the X-Files should be on the Discovery Channel.

SETI is very cool, but I demand every bit of preformance from my machine, so ya, uninstalled it.

Can somebody please explain what exactly it does? Im kinda lost here. Sorry

I actually like SETI more (the one that uses your PC to search for radio waves or signs of extraterrestrial life). Can we have a SETI team? You know... Aliens instead of Proteins... ?

Can somebody please explain what exactly it does? Im kinda lost here. Sorry

You help to "understand the structure of proteins so they can develop better treatments for a number of illnesses."

[kostas]

are there any other @HOME projects going on? i don't like alien searching, and i really don't think much is going to get done with folding. just my opinion though
