Just saw a great link on another guys Signature. If you have been wondering what Folding@Home really is, or how it works, this little animation does a great job of explaining it in and easy to understand way. I think it does a better job than the Stanford U website even.

Even if you have been Folding@home regularly, still watch this video, because it will give you a warm and fuzzy feeling for knowing that you are doing good for this world.

*Note: The vid. focuses on computers doing the Folding, but obviously your PS3 does the same thing, only 100s of times faster than a home computer. The good thing is, you don't have to own a PS3 to Fold, so if you're reading this at all, it means that you are ready to start saving lives today. Get it?*

Very good find MC!!

That was a great video and explains the usage of folding much, much better than the stanford site.

No problem Mike. I like it when people dumb things down for me But that doesn't make the video any less informative.

If I find anything else related to the Folding project, I'll send it right over

Yeah that was really informative, a lot of people ask me what Folding is, and still dont understand Folding@Home and Distributed computing when i fail at explaining it to them properly, but that really breaks it down and makes people understand....

Nice find........

I just joined the folding@home.I had 23 work units with my old folding team so I guess I'll have to start all over again and start climbing that leaderboard.
lol.

You and your 400+Wu Lyn...

And welcome to APi and the folding team too john...
Glad too see your already doing well on the leaderboards..

I know what you mean Rob. It seems no matter how hard I try the further away he gets from me. I've just hit the 200 mark so he's like over double my number of Units, it's ridiculous i just don't get how he does it

(Personally, I think he's fiddling it somehow. Like somehow he's managed to sign into his account TWICE on two different machines so he's like doing double the amount. That's my theory anyway, but don't tell anyone it was me who suggested that, ok? )

Well for about the last couple of weeks/months !! every time i've been online, which is everyday, Lyns been folding, or playing everybodys golf 5 or superstardust HD on the odd occasion. So as you can imagine he does a lot of Folding.

You must leave it on for weeks continously Lyn. So does it overheat...??
I think the longest my PS3 has ever been on is say 15-20hrs.. Its on for at least 6hrs in the evening on weekdays and around 14hrs everyday on the weekends, so it gets a lot of use, but i make sure it gets a break overnight..... But thats just me...

And Jason when you started Folding Lyn was on around 200wu i think and now the gap is pretty much the same so, i would say your folding at the same rate even though it doesnt seem that way..

Anyway well done to both you guys....Just keep up the good work....
And i'll keep adding to my 48wu... (Which i am very proud of thankyou)

Well i'm on 49 now, so there.....

Yeah- I dont know why i rambled on so much but hey... Lol....

We are rising through the ranks well guys, everytime i look we have risen a few places, lets get rising 2000 more, hey...
