Time for a new FreeRepublic folding@home thread.
While this folding@home team is not officially sanctioned by Free Republic, it's 250+ members comprised primarily of Free Republic members in good standing have banded together to donate their excess CPU cycles to a worthy cause. Via distributed computing, millions of computers around the world, contribute directly to scientific research, in the quest for a greater understanding of diseases such as Alzheimer's, Cancer, and Mad Cow (BSE).
Currently, the team is in 204th place, having reached more than 2,000,000 points!
This is an entirely voluntary program, and if you want to learn more, please see the links posted below (or read one of the previous 8 folding threads)
There is no reason at all that (with time) we couldn't be Numero Uno.
I am just looking at our short term prospects, less than two years.
If we double our current point production to 100,000 ppd then we can jump to #15. That is pretty elite.
Call it a faith issue. I can believe in 100,000 ppd, but 600,000 ppd is a stretch for me.
Of course, I see by faith in the desert, while you oversee a vast field of CPUs ready to do their masters' bidding.

The Klutz Army of CPUs marches on. They will not fold for anyone except...
except...
except their mighty master Dohanger.
(I think there's a novel in there somewhere, LOL.)

Thanks! It took me a good while to get that 1 WU. I think I'll be done with another one tonight...
