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 Hereand 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.
