Folding Team

I know alot of websites & groups form teams. Would be interesting if we got something going here perhaps 🙂

And even if not, if you just do it for personal use it is a worthwhile cause so you can feel all warm and fuzzy inside

I'm critical about which distributed computing projects are "worthy" of my hardware, lol. Folding@home has a noble enough objective but I tend to steer away from anything which basically just computes data that will be monetized, privatized, and patented. My opinion is that biomedical and genetic and pharmaceutical stuff is worth lots of big money, enough that the people who want to own and sell the fruits of this research can buy their own computing hardware, lol. Yes, we all could benefit from miracle cures and superior medicine ... I'm just a cynic who believes that some of us would benefit a great deal more than the rest because the overwhelming majority of us don't live in an altruistic Star Trek kinda world. But you just can't go wrong with pure academia! Stuff like Atlas@home, LHC@home, Wieferich@home, yoyo@home, etc.
