Grid.org Find a cure for cancer
 
Well guys, I was crunching distributed packets for your team until I found this: http://www.grid.org/home.htm

I urge you all to sign up and use your CPU's for something useful. Not that distributed crunching isn't. But grid.org crunches numbers for cancer cures, which hits right at home because I had cancer, and am currently healthy and in good condition. However the next 5 years of my life will be a grueling set of tests to make sure the cancer does not re-occur.

Please PLEASE crunch numbers over there, we can set up a team and kick some butt!

I've lost a number of differant kin due to cancer. Several close enough to me to give me increased risk of it.

But DF can help with cancer, while also helping with numerous other deseases as well.

the basis for most protien folding or number crunching Distributed systems is based around diseases and cancer. Most cover a broad range of possabilities, not just one specific area.

Grid is spifly, but I believe DF out of all of them holds the best chances for success on some level due to the methods they are going about doing it.

D.F. is pretty much after the same goal. Once they understand how protiens fold then there will be no end the the amount of problems they can not only find coures for but also genetic mutations to prevent the problems in the first place. Not to mention ways to prolong life... I dislike United Devices anyway.
