I know everyones gonna say I spam and stuff but my last thread just won't die and I think this is pretty important.

folding@home is this project by (I think) Stanford University which a lot of you may have heard of. It is basically a program which runs in the background and calculates protein dynamics! You're computer is assigned a job and once it does it, the information is sent to their servers. One of the coolest things about it is the feature of being able to make your own team. I think folding@home is pretty cool for two reasons:

1. I don't feel guilty about not helping the world.
2. If enough people are interested we could start a TWHL folding@home team.

Heres the link http://folding.stanford.edu/ Please check it out, its great.

Tell me what you think!

I used to run f@h, then started docking D2OL for XtremeSystems instead. D2OL is far better than f@h, imo.

Sounds like he wants to start something with portein and mad cow disease. Don't have any idea what that has to do with TWHL though.

Well, basically its a program which you run in the background and it calculates medical research and stuff. The added feature about it is the ability to make teams which makes it fun too! I posted it here because I thought maybe TWHL could start a team unless D2OL is loads better. m0p could you give me the link to D2OL????

www.d2ol.com

Feel free to start a TWHL team for D2OL, but I won't join. I'm docking for XS D2OL :P
m0p m0pIllogical.

I know this is off-topic but does anyone here know how far I should Overclock my Geforce 6600 to? My temperature sensor on it is broken so I can't tell how hot it is. Just give me a safe figure if you know one.
