Proud of that hot rig of yours? Not being used in the mornings? Well here's a very worthwhile way to use your computer.
Grid.org
Using the un-used computation cycles in your computer, the UD Agent (what the program is called) downloads data packets containing likely candidate molecules that may interact and lead to a cure of the cancer (and its mutations). Naturally, there are thousands of molecules and billions of ways a molecule can "hit" a cancer molecule, so even a dozen super-computers would be hard worked. That's where we come in.
You can turn it on or off whenever you want and it causes close to Zero lag. It has an outstanding forum community and...it's free. The more time you spend and results you turn in, you get points and you can be ranked with other users, countries, or teams.
Ah, teams... If there is enough interest, I propose creating a Halflife2.net forum team for Grid.org. Universities, clubs, and computer geeks have created teams in a playful competition of who gets the most points. My idea spawned from the excellent "Day of Defeat Community Forum", who has their own team and stickied a similar thread. But the most important thing is the future investment in this research and the good it will bring. Statistics show that 3/4 of us will either have or know someone who has cancer. I've been a two+ year member, and the software has no spyware/adware/bugs/viruses.
Recently it has also been used to fight the mutating smallpox threat and anthrax as well. However, you can edit your settings and choose which job you'd like to do.
