Folding@Home/ Distributed Computing?
 
Anyone else out there running the Folding@home client? Or want to run it?

Things are getting a little lonely on Team FlyerTalker (Team #39124)

I used to run it on my PS3, but then Sony went and removed that functionality. :(

Thanks to the anonymous folder who's adding 13k ppd to the team numbers!

We're on the verge of breaking into the top 500 teams, so if you want to start folding:
1. Get the software (https://folding.stanford.edu/home/the-software/)
2. When you configure the client, put in the FlyerTalkers team number (39124)
3. For extra points, get a passkey (http://folding.stanford.edu/home/faq/faq-passkey/)

I use GridRepublic and BOINC to do a couple projects: Rosetta@Home is a protein folding one by the University of Washington, and Einstein@Home looks for pulsars or something to that effect, I think. Folding@home isn't an option.
