AYB is finding a solution for anthrax

My idle CPU cycles on my primary rig (822 Celeron) are currently crunching some sort of cure for Anthrax.

having tried some anthrax, AYB the Immun thought it was gamey and bland.  So a solution must be found for this icky substance who's flavor AYB didn't like.

I shall expect to find the solution in a week or so.

dude don't waste time with the anthrax stuff. Its only a big deal because of all the stuff thats happening in the US.

Use those spare cycles for a good deed like the amino or protient projects. Those have far more important uses especially because the results can in effect help understand anthrax even better.

And add to that anthrax is hard to get unless its from the military and hard to get out. However these guys did it, only did so because there was a 'hole' in the military (apparently the anthrax spores are from the US Army!) and the 'damage' done was not that great. Yes lives were lost and i'm not trying to belittle it, but compare that to the number of lives lost to the lack of knowledge of protiens and amino's for other diseases.

Don't let US nationalism detract you from the more important humane goals.

I look down upon those fools who started the anthrax project just because it was in the media. What a waste of precious CPU cycles.

Grrrr...

Oh and I think RC5 is stupid too!

so there.

I even think my powermac at home that crunches SETI units is a waste of time but I want to support the idea for the search of ETI. Anywhooo once an efficent protien folding client is available i'll dedicated my mac for that cause too.

What we need is a genome project!

"look ma! my computer is decoding DNA information."

We have come a long way indeed.

Who would have thought that we'd be using our computers to probe in the deepest darkest corners of molecule chains to the stars in the heaven above us.

Woot! Go science!

But nationalism is important no?  Especially for a country as nice as AYBland, er, I mean, the USA.

(At least that's what I allow these fools to call it for now)

Actually, it grows naturally as well.  Just like Jackalopes.

Actually, you have been sucessfull in your search, for you have found the Great AYB!

My spare CPU cycles are hunting down Osama bin Laden.


Unfortunately it's a K6 333, so we aren't having much luck.
