Ok all you activist, idealist youngsters out there, who are so cool that you bend technology to you wills. Wanna do something cool and make an impact? Consider the WORLD COMMUNITY GRID. It's a program that you can download and run on your computer as a screen saver, or just in the background, and it links to a homebase lab where they're doing important research! How many hours a day does your computer just sit there with nothing to do but quietly hum???
Give it a chance!!! What does the program do, you ask? It links many computers all over the world to do the never-before-possible calculations of one large supercomputer!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
What do the calculations calculate??? They currently have two projects: the cure for AIDS and the Human Proteome Project, by which they can better tackle all kinds of problems including cancer. The calculations find the best possible matches for the connecting points on AIDS and our very own proteins. Listen, feel better about yourself and do something good, like help cure cancer with your computer's downtime. And watch the beauty of the human proteome unfold on your computer screen. Trust me, it's safe. They're curing cancer for goodness sakes!!!
Download it and check it out here!!!
