i've received a lot of questions on what folding@home is. the best way i can answer these questions is to point you to the website: folding@home. they can answer the real questions on what the program does and how it works. as a member of a family that has been ravaged by cancer, what i can tell you is that i am proud to participate in this program, and i feel like everyone should give it a crack (especially you ps3 owners out there). you can run the program while your computer or ps3 is idle, and the benefits far out way the cost (a very minimal spike in your electricity: about $2 a month). please check this out. you can also join my team if you want. the team name is: the velvet mafia, and the team # is :59309.
