Folding@Home - Trying to do good, but in reality, its bad.

they didn't sell enough ps3's for them to impact global warming :lol:OfficialJab

[QUOTE="PayDaMurdaMan"][QUOTE="kuza_9999"][QUOTE="sulimanitachi"]Leaving your PS3 on all day will waste electricity, and that goes on to contribute to global warming. This means we are killing earth, while trying to find a cure for cancer. That makes no sense.

Dont critize me or anything, im just stating my opinion. Any thoughts would be nice. Ezgam3r

Who are you telling that to? Cause Fox is well known for supporting the republicans I mean look who their owner is and all. Daily Show has like a Fox clip in every episode maybe lol

I actually do stuff, I mentioned it in this thread earlier. And I don't leave my comps on all day like a lot of people do whether they are using it or not.

But I think the onus is on the government to do something cause no one will take it seriousy until they do. Around the world as well.

Stupidest thing you've heard? Have you read the thread creator's post? He's obviously a very bad fanboy becase, driving a car contributes to global warming more than anything else. Even your PC, fridgerator, oven, washing machine, and dryer, probably take more energy than a ps3. Folding at home doesn't even benifit you when all of the above does. This "ps3" contributing to global warming is the second stupidest thing I've heard and the thread creator's post is the first. And FYI, thousands of other scientist also think that global warming doesn't exist....

Wow..ya know I'm not going to argue with that kind of logic. kcpp2b

I think what you meant to say is that you can't argue with such logic.

  Scientists have all said we are causing it and it's big deal and even some have came forward saying they were paid to say different.

Scientists say a lot of things, but until you and many other pro-global warming gurus start naming names it's still going to be seen as bs.

Are you a republican by any chance?

I fail to see how my political affliation has anything to do with my stance against the myth that is human-made global warming.  I could be a massive liberal and still be smart enough to know bs when I smell it.

Either way you think what you want. Just the fact that you think humans don't cause a huge difference to how the earth works shows you don't know what you're talking about.

I think I proved a few posts ago I know vastly more about this topic than you do.
Also I never said humans don't effect this planet, I actually acknowledged that they do.
What I said is that humans are not hte cause of the growing temperatures.
Humans have much more effect on other environmental factors such as water pollution, which I am a massive opponent of btw.
We are losing our water resources at an alarming rate.

And why is it that some of the hottest years have been in the last ten years? Is it because of random luck? Just happens to be? 

Oh noez!11 Not the hottest years in TEN years!11
What shall we do?  You still haven't addressed that the Earth was hotter hundreds of years ago. 
No one is denying that the planet gets warmer and colder in cycles.  People like you seem to feel that humanity is the cause, which is just baseless guilt you feel towards this planet and its pollution.

I won't argue with someone like you cause nothing I say will get through to you so enjoy ruining the planet dude. I'm sure you're greatgrandkids will love you for it 

Yes because I single-handedly destroyed the planet.  :roll:

Why don't you stop pointing fingers and go clean a lake or something?

Your worries are unfounded. The electricity used by the PS3s is miniscule in comparison to the electricity used by PCs doing the same amount of folding. So groups that dedicate machines to the folding@home project will probably start using PS3s and thereby save electricity.

beat me to it. Owned, hardcore.

Suggesting the PS3 uses a lot of electricity, heck, even a videogame console is insane. 

I actually do stuff, I mentioned it in this thread earlier. And I don't leave my comps on all day like a lot of people do whether they are using it or not.

A PC in standby mode uses less electricity than a lightbulb :|

It's actually worse for a computer to turn it on and off all the time.

Also most energystar appliances use very little electricity.  (dryers, refrigerators, light bulbs, etc.)

It's things like central air condition units that suck up all the juice.
