Title: Gamers Succeed Where Scientists Fail: Molecular Structure of Retrovirus Enzyme S
Post by: cpxxx on September 20, 2011, 06:35:12 PM: I'm sorry there was a similar thread which was removed. I'm genuinely confused?

http://www.foxnews.com/health/2011/09/19/us-gamers-crack-puzzle-in-aids-research-that-stumped-scientists-for-years/

There are various news stories on this. How is it a contravention of rule 14?

It's not political?

What am I missing?

Scuzzy, if you lock this, could you at least post why it is breaking the rules, so we could learn from our mistakes?

Would of been nice tho if Skuzzy had just msged me or something telling me that it was a prob. would of just erased it. Instead of having my topic locked.

Or perhaps they get so much from pity alone they like to keep up the facade.

Ehh, maybe not.
