lol, i'm posting on this 4 months old post because i want to bring up this post to everyone on the forum again. I would recommand everyone to install this program and contribute to science. Who knows, one day we might be saved as the result of this research.

Why waste your computer power when just browsing the web or just listen to music that doesn't require much processing.

there are hundreds of thousands of people that are running the program, so don't afriad of this as some sort of scam or people attempt to hack your computer. Just be realisitc, what would they benefit from hacking your computer?

you can download the stand-alone version at http://folding.stanford.edu/

it's a program that simliates protein folding and send the result back to the main server. This helps sciencists understand the structure of proteins and may result in curing a lot of illnesses.

if you are running the stand-alone version and interested in join my team of computing then under "team ID" type 41708. Join a team to compete with other team for ranking (running on a credit system). THe more "work-units" you computed, the more credit you will get.

If you downloaded the google version, i think you are defaulted under the "google team".

Well, if most of you are still not convinced, then at least tell your friends about it to see if they are interested. I'm thinking to proposing this to my school to see if they are interested in running on school comptuer since it's just there for nothing.
