I'm certain I (or someone!) posted about this (FoldIt) before, somewhere, but I can't find it now.
I kinda recall the title was "If you want to help a scientist" or "If you've got a few hours" or somet', but 'ply's less than useless search capabilities have thwarted all efforts to find it :(
Anyone remember?
I remember,
ReplyDeleteI have it on my PC, but I'm damned if Multiply's crap search function can retrieve it.
Any idea when it was installed (Can you look at when the c:\program files\Fold it whatever was created - that'd be a hint, ta)

ReplyDeleteTa (From memory, I'd have said it was earlier than that... ) I''ll take a look
ReplyDeleteNo luck, perhaps this is a clue? - Released May 08... but I still can't find hide-nor-hair of it!
