Microsoft's Answer to Folding@Home

Nope, actually Bill is way ahead. He donated $1 Billion to research years ago. That money would actually prove useful instead of generating random figures.Nemme

1,000,000,000 dollars in research(If he's telling the truth, which I can believe, as Gates has his own charity organizations.)>folding@home. They are both useful tools however, although one(the donation) generates money for research immediately and gives them enough for a long time. Folding@home is a long, and probably complicated proccess for those in contorl.

Too bad Bill Gates donates billions of dollars every year to unfortunate families/tribes/countries in Africa. Those arent real lives right?

Do you actually?

Are you aware that Sony wasn't the first people to do this? This existed on the PC in various forms such as helping decode the human genome, SETI, and other stuff? But I suppose Sony will claim they invented the internet too...

Sometimes, when I think of Sony, I think of Gene Simmons....I wonder why.

I'm talking mostly about quicker results.....folding@home takes a long time.

Nothing. Everything everyone does charitable is greatly appreciated by me and most other people here.

I never said it was. The point I was trying to make is that donating 1 billion dollars allows for more immediate results. Folding@home takes a long time to sum up large amounts of data unless there are millions of people running it, and even then it can take a lot of time. I don't know how many people actually run folding@home. They each do great things, one allows more immediate results, the other's results come over time.

[QUOTE="project343"]Is this an April Fools joke?GundamGuy0

Yes, there is a good chance that it is.

i like how people are saying (this is about saving lives) come on the first thing they thought was oh this makes the ps3 look good im not saying that it isnt good but if you think they thought it up just to save lives your crazyGen007

Its to make Sony look good after crapping on Europe and making those racist advertisements

Annd when they find a cure for something big, they can't do anything with it, because it would cost too many people their jobs.
Like that toothpaste thing they researched.

lets put this into the correct perspective here.

All folding@home does is manage and construct data so that people can analyze it. Without money all you have is data with no way to act on your findings. Hell without the money you can't even fund a project such as home.

Both are fantastic to have, but the money is better. People are acting like home is curing cancer. It isn't. What home is doing is making it possible for people to find ways to cure cancer and other diseases.

"Accurate simulations of protein folding and misfolding enable the scientific community to better understand the development of many diseases, including Alzheimer's disease, BSE (mad cow disease), Cancer, Huntington's Disease, Cystic Fibrosis and other aggregation related diseases. [2] More fundamentally, understanding the process of protein folding - how biological molecules assemble themselves into a functional state - is one of the outstanding problems of molecular biology. So far, the F@H project has successfully simulated folding in the 5-10 microsecond range - a time scale thousands of times longer than was previously thought possible"

I find it ironic that one of the diseases folding @ home is trying to understand is BSE (Mad Cow disease)

We can only hope.

Too bad most of that money comes from the stock he has in oil Companies and other shady dealings that his little organization stands against.

I dont think anybody should be bashing anybody here. Folding@Home is a great program that will help researchers and lets hope M$ jumps on the bandwagon as well. It is for a good cause, not for us to fight about.Wasdie

That was kind of what I was trying to convey, but unfortunately everyone turned my words into"You think the 360 has something to do with this."
The 360 and MS can shrivel up, die, and their remains urinated on for all I care. My posts had nothing to do with the console war.

No, because none of us are a part of it. Just like how I could care less what Bono does in his spare time.Redfingers

Bono is a moron, don't compare anything he does to Bill Gates' charity work.

And how about you give the money you waste with electricity "curing" cancer to a caner research facility that actually use money to help those with caner.

ok put aside gaming for a second,bill gates and his wife have given money to every charity you can think of,they've been doing it way before the cell or any of that existed.he's one of the most charitable person in world:|
