Okay, I'm folding right now. 90021 is the team number for Fiesta right? Reminds me of that old drama 90210 a little. Now, I'm folding, what's it mean?

Ummm.... what the heck does this do?

Sorry for sounding so uneducated, but I've never heard of folding and just want to know a little more about it.

Thanks!!!!

What is protein folding and how is folding linked to disease? Proteins are biology's workhorses -- its "nanomachines." Before proteins can carry out these important functions, they assemble themselves, or "fold." The process of protein folding, while critical and fundamental to virtually all of biology, in many ways remains a mystery.

Moreover, when proteins do not fold correctly (i.e. "misfold"), there can be serious consequences, including many well known diseases, such as Alzheimer's, Mad Cow (BSE), CJD, ALS, Huntington's, Parkinson's disease, and many Cancers and cancer-related syndromes.

You can help by simply running a piece of software. Folding@Home is a distributed computing project -- people from through out the world download and run software to band together to make one of the largest supercomputers in the world. Every computer makes the project closer to our goals. Folding@Home uses novel computational methods coupled to distributed computing, to simulate problems thousands to millions of times more challenging than previously achieved.
Basically they are running simulations of protiens to try and figure out how they work so they can cure diseases. The more people who run the software, the faster the simulations go, and the closer they get to possible cures.

-begins folding away-

Is the program a stand alone client?
Do I have to finish a work unit for my statistic to show on the Fiesta team page?

Edit: 104 days til I finish a work unit. Is this normal? Never mind, I figured it out. I just got a huge work unit.

Yes its a stand alone client.

Yes, you have to finish a work unit to show up on the FiestaFan team page.

104 days is a little long, it will probably speed up, what kind of computer do you have?

Never mind. It did speed up. It'll be another day or so. I think my system just screwed up the estimates at the beginning somehow.

That doesn't seem right. I usually finish of a WU in a day or 3 depending on how big it is and how much free time I give my computer to work on it. Did you fiddle with any of the settings or anything?

Any way to allow the client to continue on a work unit after restarting?
