Is it okay that I don't have any idea what this thread is about?

LOL. I was thinking the same thing. I was wondering if I had dropped in on a thread written in a foreign language.

Hey it's only geekspeak! Of course my head spins when I read about the results posted on the Stanford U Folding @ Home pages, such as here:

http://folding.stanford.edu/results.html

Basically we have all teamed together to run a "screensaver" that spends idle time on our computers folding protiens. On one hands we get to help out the world by advancing medecine. On the other hand we compete to see who is #1 in folding protiens.

Kinda neat thing to do when the average system runs at idle over half of the time.
