Anthrax Cure - OT
Here's another way to soak up all those unused CPU cycles. Visit www.intel.com/cure/download.htm and you can find information on downloading a screen saver that tries to fit various small molecules to the anthrax protein, with the notion of being able to disable it. To find these molecules requires sifting through an enormous number of candidates for possible fits. When you run the program, it downloads 100 molecules to fit. When it's done with that, it gets another 100, etc.
The idea is similar to the SETI at home project that Mr. Pockets has mentioned before. By farming little pieces of a very big task out to a couple of million people, it can get done in some kind of reasonable time frame. I heard about this on today's All Things Considered broadcast (www.npr.org). Anyway, it seems a good thing to me.

I have that running at one of my clients. I disconnect the server and let the 25 workstations chug away at it all night.
Luckily, It's client initiated so I didn't have to open up any extra ports on the firewall. Its a wonderful idea. Unfortunatly I missed the SETI post. I'm going to go look for it. Doug

Thanks for pointing that out. I've also corrected it in the original post. Dang literal computers, anyway.

My wife posted a link on her club's board to united devices (as an OT) and the moderator deleted it, and Emailed her telling her not to post off topic again!
I'm really glad that Chris and Randy aren't all work and no play... Sort of defeats the purpose of trying to make friends in your club, huh? Doug

Of course, Doug, your post begs the question, "what is the "topic" here, anyway." In my opinion, the "topic" is RELATIONSHIPS. So, how can ANY post really be "OT?"

The topic is simple:
Weatherstripping, zebra stripes, and the Full Monty at Reading... Doug

The "Full Monty?" Does not the very THOUGHT of that not disgust you beyond all possible imagination? Seeing Larry, John Hoffman, Don Addington, Myself and a few other in anything near their "skivvies" would throw the entire city of Morgantown . . . nay, the entire State of PA into a panic reminiscent of the crowds running in the original "Blob" movie. Speaking of blobs . . . no, let's not! And, let's save the weatherstripping installation siminar for the 10th Anniversary Meet. That way, all us married men will get the "FAT LIP" award.
