Help Cure Cancer | ||||||||
| Stanford is doing research that is trying to help cure several diseases (Alzheimers, Mad Cow, Parkinson's, and various cancers). The way their are getting data for their research is by using people's home computers to do a tiny bit of work for them, and then it sends the data out when you connect to the internet. It is called Folding@home or fah. They are doing research at an incredibly fast rate and the program is making some interesting finds. Here is the website to go to for further details, it's pretty interesting. http://www.stanford.edu/group/pandegroup/folding/ The way it works is you install a small program on your computer. This program then uses your computer's processor to do calculations aiding in the research. It uses only your unused processor speed, so it does not slow your computer down in any way (you won't even know it is there, but every second your computer is on and not being used to its full speed it is aiding in finding the cure to many diseases!) This is an installer for the folding@home program put out by stanford. It makes installation much easier. There has been no alteration to the program itself and is already configured for you to start doing research once you install it! If your interested in helping, download the file containing the install program here HERE!!! NOTE: AFTER DOWNLOADING, CLICK ON THE FILE AND READ THE INSTRUCTIONS FILE...it will help you set it up correctly!! For windowsXP users only. YOUR NOW DOING YOUR PART TO HELP FIND THE CURE FOR CANCER! |
