Aces High players, lets help the fight against cancer.
« on: May 16, 2001, 04:11:00 PM »
Hi.

Most of us have very high end pc's wich sit idle for long periods of time.
I'm pretty sure many of you have heard or used the software called Seti@Home wich collectively analizes space data in the search for extraterrestial intelligence.

I recently found a similar company using the same collective-computing concept to analize cancer molecules and help find a cure for the desease. It is an atractive program that runs on the background using your cpu to analize data and then send to the main servers to then be used for cancer research. The program doesnt cause any kind of slowdown at all on my system, and obviously you can turn it off when you are going to play Aces High or any other game. The program can also be run as a screensaver wich shows the work in progress, here is a screenshot from my computer:


     

I have created an Aces High team wich you can join by downloading the software (and registering a username) Right Here
and then joining the team, following this link.

This software is completly safe and works for a good cause. Also, for each member that joins the team there is a donation to the Make a Wish foundation, and you can be selected for prizes (optional).

For more information about how it works visit the page.

I dont know how big the individual contribution is to the whole cancer cause. But I am sure many of you, like me, have lost family members to this horrible desease, and any contribution I can make is big enough for me to feel good about it.

Download Software

Join the team


regards,
Animal[/i]

Join team Aces High, fight cancer.

Interesting post animal. My dads got non-hodgskins <sp?> lymphoma, not sick yet, but that day will most likely come.   Yep, cancer is scary stuff.

I tried to register on the site, but it keeps asking me for a password? hmmm, I'll dig deeper when I get home.

My uncle died of blood cancer, and my father has a small patch of cancer in his lung, wich is luckily under control.

I am planning on going to the local children hospital to sponsor a child, wich will allow me and my girlfriend to make visits and make gifts.

Some friends adviced me against it, they say I may become to attached to a kid that has a high probability of dying. But the way I see it, there is no better way of appreciating your own life, than to help those who's is slipping away.

Animal is an idiot, but it appears the law of infinite monkeys has been demonstrated.

HB when you finish installation it prompts you to register, unfortunately right now I'm getting no response.  Will try again later.

In original form, an infinite number of monkeys sitting at an infinite number of typewriters will recreate all of shakespeare's works.

Modified to suit our times, 1 Animal with an infinite amount of time making an infinite number of posts is bound to post a good idea.

(PS notice a couple of "nonamers" listed on the Aces High team.  Don't worry bout that, mine was listed as no name for a bit, it'll update after a while)

OK we have 6 people, but 3 of them are showing with no names on the team list.

I have no idea who they are, but they can go HERE to change their profile and update their user name.
