Folding at Home. If you're not familiar with it it's a research project trying to understand diseases like Alzheimer's, ALS, Huntington's, Parkinson's disease, and many Cancers much better. It's a small program that can run in the background while you're not using your PC. If anyone has a PS3 I think it's included with it. You can even use certain graphics cards to do this with.

I used to participate in this but I only had one PC and a small room which would get hot easily. Those who do participate what team(s) are you folding for and maybe do you guys want to start a TPWW folding team?

I know it's for the "greater good", but I'd never let shit like that run on my PC.
