You know, it has really gotten dull around here, what with everything working so well, FF, TBird, the questions about NN9 quieting down, so I figured I would look around for someone to talk to.
And, this is what I find, Antony reflecting on the state of mankind?
So, O.K., what can one say about Windows users, other than noting their (our) ubiquity. Are Vista folks (me) trailblazers for the herd? Are XP ( actually, also me) users sticks-in the-mud?
Why, I bet we even have some Win2000 folks, some WinME folks and a couple of people trying to resurrect Win95.
You know what? Forget all of that stuff. ARE YOU A CRUNCHER?????!!!!! Have you taken my suggestion and visited BOINC? or World Community Grid? Are you excited by the prospect of helping add to the knowledge base on Cancer, AIDS, Malaria, Dengue Fever with WCG? Are you crunching for LHC@home for C.E.R.N. as they get the Large Haydron Collider going to find the Higgs Boson? Are you looking for pulsars with Einstein@home? Or doing protein folding with Rosetta@home?
There are wonderful projects, with really cool screen savers if you want them, you can join a team, SillyDog could have its own team, like Mozillazine (they are with folding@home, Stanford University, not part of BOINC), you could start a team for you own local organization like I did.
We have less than one million brothers and sisters. We need all of the help we can get, and we will take anybody, Win, Mac, Linux, some of you Mac guys who are MacWin (I just coined that word, for those who have secretly put Windows on their Macs)
This is all fabulous stuff which is totally secure and costs you just what it costs to run your computer, be it Windows, Mac, or Linux, about the cost of running a 100watt bulb.
