QJ.NET’s very own Folding@Home Team.

F@HWell, consider this blatantly off topic, but I had to put this one up, just because it’s for a good cause. Totally unknown to us, one of our forum members Jammie, along with a few friends decided to set up QJ.NET’s own Folding@Home team.

So is that something to do with Origami you might ask ? Well, actually not. Do you want to help out humanity ? Well here’s your chance to do so.

Folding@Home is a distributed computing project undertaken by the Chemistry department of Stanford University. Surely you must have heard of SETI@Home. Well, this one’s a similar concept. But the difference is that instead of searching for aliens, this one helps humanity by simulating the proteins, and discovering new things all the time. And unlike SETI@Home, Folding@Home has actually found out a lot of things on its own.

I’ll leave the chemistry blabber to their official page. Suffice to say that your computer’s idle cycles won’t be going to waste. It has been proven to be useful. All you have to do is download a small program which you can run when you’re leaving your computer idle. It will do its work unobtrusively in the background. When you want to stop it, simply right-click on the program and end it. No hassles.

I’d like to thank Jammie for creating a Folding@Home QJ.NET team! If you need more information about Folding@Home, here’s a lot of it. While you’re at it, make sure to check out this great flash animation here.
