Help cure cancer with your computer or PS3

Hi, here's a program (Called Folding@Home) that helps researches at Stanford University study proteins. It runs on your PC or PS3 when it's idle, and sends the work to them.

For more info, here's a video clip: http://www.gamevideos.com/video/id/10200

And here's the Folding@Home website: http://folding.stanford.edu/
