here's a little program that runs like a screensaver, and may help figure out how to cure cancer, among other things.
it's very non-intrusive on your computer. i run it on three machines, and i can't tell it's running.
get the app here
and, i set up a team for xltronic. when/if you do start using this, it will ask you if you want to join a team, just put [34780] in.
there is also a plugin for the google toolbar, for those of you suckers still using IE.

a little more about the project
"Alzheimer's disease. Cystic fibrosis. Mad Cow disease. An inherited form of emphysema. Even many cancers. Recent discoveries show that all these apparently unrelated diseases result from protein folding gone wrong. As though that weren't enough, many of the unexpected difficulties biotechnology companies encounter when trying to produce human proteins in bacteria also result from something amiss when proteins fold."
"To solve the protein folding problem, we need to break the microsecond barrier. Our group has developed a new way to simulate protein folding which can break the microsecond barrier by dividing the work between multiple processors in a new way -- with a near linear speed up in the number of processors. Thus, with 1000 processors, we can break the microsecond barrier and help unlock the mystery of how proteins fold."

ooh ooh!
if we could get joyrex to create a watmm team, we could have a little friendly (or not) competition to see who could get a higher ranking!
then, we'd be saving lives & kicking the asses of those low-down shelbyville peeps.

yay!
depending on your machine's speed, and how long you let your computer run, it could take a while to finish your first work unit.
i've been doing it for a while, and i've only finished 23 units.

BTW...best way to run this is in the background in the system tray rather than as a screensaver or Google toolbar, it uses up any spare CPU time without affecting your machine at all...
