Folding

[.chill]

Do you guys know what Folding is, and what benefits it brings? If so, how often do you do it, and what do you use?

For those who have no idea what Folding is, check the website folding.stanford.edu/ (down atm, they're doing stats update)

I searched the forum and couldn't find a thread for this, even so, if there is one I'm sorry xP.

Since nobody bothered to respond to this very relevant and interesting topic.

Yes, I do know what folding@home is all about, and no I don't currently use it due to my computer losing it's internet connection at 10 PM each night. I have tried GIMPS (which searches for huge prime numbers) and SETI (which searches for alien communication in radio signals), and I might try this if I can keep my gaming rig when I go back to college.

I heard most people just run this program on their PS3, though, so putting it on a computer is a little unnecessary.
