Jim, this no different that SETI@HOME that's been running for years. It's simply FOLDING@HOME. There's no risk. Specifically to you, there's nothing you would particularly have to do. We FreeRepublic folders aren't asking you specificially to to anything.
What we are asking is that you let us FR folders just let our threads live in the technical forum. A mod spiked our thread in the technial forum. I can't imagine a more appropriate forum than that.
That's all. We're ROCKING! We've got enough power to hit the top 100 in this distributed computing project. In fact, we're likely to hit the top 50 in about 6 months. That's a pretty big deal, all things considered.
Well, I think you should take it somewhere else. FR's not interested.
