Help Battle Cancer! Seriously!
After viewing another site, apparently this nifty program takes your un-used resources from your computer and uses them to help process ways to battle cancer. :) , basically...the more members that sign up for this, the more data that gets processed.

I think there was a way of creating a team membership... that way we can see how many people off NationStates signed up for this and stuff. err in either case, i don't see why you shouldn't download this. Anyways w00t. :D
... just in case you decide it's not worth your time... from what i can tell there's prizes. :p
I know this is advertising and all...but surely you mods can accept this kind.
i can't believe no-one cares...not even comments?!
tag....
I heard about this on the news and was interested, but I'm paranoid, you see...
Causes my computer to overheat and crash. Nice of it.
overheat and crash? wow.... update your computer then. :p
I always need 100% of my computer.

Nah, the fan's clogged or something. The person who installed my processor did I really shitty job of it, I need to fix it sometime.
Still..., i feel hurt, this is a great way to help develop the cure....
Everyone in my family that hasn't died of an accident goes to cancer. Thanks for the link.

:), i have no idea how to respond to that. I just hope more people look at this...anyways spread this link all over. I've already done it to another website.
Erm... this wasn't that specific. It just wants to use my computer for "science"?
Without a verified and extensive list of causes sucking up my RAM, sounds like they could replace the Roto-Rooter man.
How's my resources being used, without focus or project-by-project consent?

what about then you leave and the screen saver goes on?
The way i understood it, was they use your extra resources that your not using, to map out proteins and such which will be sent back to develop cures. Ok so it's sorta iffy.... but tens of thousands of people have already joined...can't be all bunk, can it?

Sounds interesting but what is the data that is actually being processed?

True..you can make it only run, when it's on screensaver mode.

If so, you must be running XP on an Intel 4004 or something.
I mean, if your computer as alays taking up 100% of your processir space, it woul dbe going incredibly slowly.

And i quote... "LigandFit helps scientists to characterize therapeutic targets and identify and assess drug candidates by performing automated docking of flexible ligands to a proteins's binding site."
I somehow don't trust that shit.
I also bet my firewall would go insane.

Well, you've lost me but I am downloading it anyway. Fingers crossed that it isn't 'bunk'
