Just got a brand new PC as gift and I realized I barely use it to its full capacity. I was thinking of downloading those public simulation softwares I've seen threads about on here to help science out.
Anyone know what I'm talking about? I think one was about folding protiens and another was like a physics simulator. You just left the program on and it used your PC to generate results/sccenarios, etc.
If someone could post link to such sites/softwares, I'd appreciate it.

Sci quit being useless. I see 250 posts on a religion thread, 0 legit one on a science thread.

look up "distributed computing". i don't know the links that the one guy was posting, but you'll find something good from google.

Folding@home is probably the best in terms of positive impact on the world, but then, I'm a bio nerd, so take this with a grain of salt.

Here's a list, OP.

No problem. I'm actually looking at the list myself and finding myself at a loss; so many worthy projects, only one PC...
