Join Folding@home.

Some of the new people at DU may not know of a team effort by the folks here. We have joined a distributed computing project called Folding@home. It's a worthy project. All you need to do is allow the client to use spare cycles on your computer. It will not affect your machine. I've been taking part in this project for many years. I started off on the Macnn.com team. I wont try to explain the project because the site does a much better job of explaining the project.

Go here and learn about Folding@home:

If you feel you'd like to help, download the client here:

After you've done that, join the Democratic Underground team number 48157
