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

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.....

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

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.

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 ;D
