Stanford, is not only pushing the envelope in protein research, but is pioneering a new level in distributed computing. I don't mean to sound rude ... but that sounds like an info commercial
And, the program is "voluntary", so there is no issue of "piggy back".
Ok then ... you are voluntarily letting Standford to piggy back

*oh boy*..
There ARE certain things that both the LEFT, and the RIGHT, can agree on, and pure scientific research is one of them.
To: papasmurf
So, you would rather not participate ONLY because Stanford MAY get something out of this? What about the people that get treatment and/or cures from this research? Where do they come in to the decision making process? Besides this chart you keep showing .. how do I know this is what Stanford is doing?

Ah! I get it now. THEY are the ENEMY.
At first I thought it was genuine curiosity, interest, and concern.

As for the IP addresses... if you've ever visited Stanford's home page, you've given them your IP address. True .. but my Firewall blocks them from the information on my computer

and many understand what they're doing but many don't.So who is contributing cpu time and doesn't now understand what it is for?
To: JeanS
Why would a black man, whose G-Father was "summer fruit" in a Ga. peach grove run into a burning house and rescue white people?

True .. but my Firewall blocks them from the information on my computer But what the folding program does is nothing more onerous than a web browser. It connects to Stanford, downloads the program, crunches the program, then uploads the results to Stanford.
Now, your browser is using certain ports through your firewall, is it not?

What the heck are you talking about? I think that was his point.
To: Mo1
To say "piggyback", you imply that we are sharing our band width, or we are physically sharing our CPU. That is a misconception. We d/l a small, highly compressed file, it runs on our pc, without an internet, and "folds" the proteins. When it has finished, we then connect to the internet and upload the results and d/l another, and so on. I'm as sure as you are, that my firewalls stops them from gaining access to my pc.

Yep. "they're dead jim".... :)
Somehow, I sorta feel like a bacteria, now that the white corpuscles are amassing.
To: papasmurf
When you say "we" .. I take it that you are on the team that is doing this at Standford?
