distributed computing has been around for years.  It's not weird at all.

[Sephroth57]

yeah but arent our computers so buff these days that this is unecessary

[lokki]

Nope, there are still a lot of problems that require more computing power than present on your workstation. 

You can see real computing power at

http://www.top500.org/

but even those can't do everything and distributed computing is a cheap way of performing massive calculations

For anything you and I are likely to do, yes.

Looking at folding at home, though - your average protein has between 100s and 1000s of amino acids, each with a few dozen atoms in it.  Even so, figuring out the electron density of an unfolded protein would not be such a big deal for a modern computer.

But those desnities put forces on it and start it to folding, so things redistribute, so the shape changes, so things redistribute.  Oh, and add the effect of an aqueous environment (your insides).  While you're at it.....

Uh, yeah... I was just about to say the same thing... uh, you're a big dummy Seph.

You can't possibly believe that I actually knew all that protien folding stuff, can you?

I already TOLD you....check the Answers section!

[missioncontrol]

but it would cost me as little as $2.50 for me to ask it "What in the world is Drew talking about"....

[DrewKaree]

Some things automatically come with a price tag on 'em.  It's up to you to decide if you want to tip.

A pig wearing an ascot is a sight to behold, but it certainly doesn't make the pig Bruce Wayne.

[missioncontrol]

but that pig will eventually become bacon

i had the anthrax screensaver running a few years ago.  it had an image of which chain was being analyzed.  then i switched over to cancer or something.

[danny_galaga]

cool! now i can GOOGLE how to build a bomb, buy the parts from their CATALOGS, tell other terrorists about it in GROUPS and then find out how to get to the nearest government agency using MAPS (",)

the man is gonna be so surprised! they wont know what hit them. muahahaha!!!

[Bones]

Terrorism is bad....mmmmmkay?

[danny_galaga]

i should temper the statement above by saying that i was only joking- now that our government wants to be just like the US government. otherwise i could face up to 7 years in gaol. so attention spy type people: I WAS ONLY KIDDING...

[missioncontrol]

The Ausssie FBI is now out to get danny

[Harry Potter]

We have an FBI?

Cool.

[DrewKaree]

No, you've got the KGB. 

Kangaroos?
Go
Baby!

If you guys could ever peel them off their humpa-jumpa friends, they might become useful and look into this google thingy

[DrewKaree]

It usually starts like this....they point, get distracted from the case, and it's Katy-bar-the-door.  Open season on roo-humpin'!

[Harry Potter]

Drew sounds like he got a hankerin' for some lovin' from a furry two-legged-jumpin' beast.

Stick to sex you're familiar with. Like the kind the IRS dishes out every year.

I generally get some sweet lovin' from them. 

It's my state and federal government that doles out the sex you're referring to.

The IRS only gives out sweet lovin' or is a strap-on for the government.  I'll excuse you this time, but just because you're an Aussie.  Tell Bones not to keep raising the bar for your lot, and you can use that excuse a lot more.  Soon, we'll just have to start calling you a common wanker, instead of an Aussie

I'm not that common
