Greetings all, Many of you probably already know of Stanford University's [EMAIL PROTECTED] project. If you don't, please take a look here: http://folding.stanford.edu/
This project is a great cause. What this distributed computing project is asking for is donated CPU cycles for disease research by running projects which emulate protein folding. This allows scientists to begin to understand why proteins "mis-fold" causing diseases and terminal illnesses like Alzheimers, Mad Cow, Parkinson's, and more. To join in on the effort, all you have to do is download a small app that downloads a project, runs the emulation, sends the results back, and repeats. This is also run as a low priority process on your system, so you really don't even notice it is even running your CPU at 100% all the time. To add a competative atmosphere to the effort, you can join a folding team by entering a team number when you configure the application. I invite/ask that anyone who decides to join the effort to use Team #: 38296. This is the Legit Reviews Folding Team number. We have really grown in members over the last few weeks and are actively in the recruiting stage to get more members. if you would like some simple installation instructions, I invite you to check out the quick "how to:" I wrote up for Legit Reviews: http://legitreviews.com/reviews/howtofold/ If anyone decides to join our team, let us know. We are always excited to hear that we got someone else to start [EMAIL PROTECTED] you can simply reply to this list, or join the Legit Review forums and throw a post in this section: http://legitreviews.com/phpBB2/viewforum.php?f=16 Well, sorry this message got so long, I just wanted to share this information with everyone, and hopefully I'll get a few of you to join in on this effort for a very good cause. Thanks for your time, Justin West ----------------------------------------------------------------- To get off this list, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with Subject: unsubscribe -----------------------------------------------------------------
