As for what benefit Stanford University is getting, perhaps it would be better, to think it in terms of what benefit is science getting.

Stanford, is not only pushing the envelope in protein research, but is pioneering a new level in distributed computing.

Perhaps you're not familar with the architecture of "super computers", but 10,000 PC's, working on bits and pieces of a model, are much more efficient that one "super computer", and do the work much faster.

And, the program is "voluntary", so there is no issue of "piggy back".

I don't mean to sound rude ... but that sounds like an info commercial

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.

Ah! I get it now. THEY are the ENEMY.


At first I thought it was genuine curiosity, interest, and concern.
