Time for a new FreeRepublic folding@home thread.
Our FreeRepublic team of 358 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 75th place (with 1,020 active CPUs - 70,500 completed Work Units and 12.75 million 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 20+ folding threads)
Even though all the stats haven't updated yet, I just hit 100,000. Still a long way to go before I catch you Egon, but the chase is a pleasure.
JCEccles, I need you to start nipping at my heels again to force me to borg some systems even if only for a day or two.
You need to bump up your production just a bit - I need someone to worry about.
