Amazing! I love this technology. Exceptional video.

at least this isn't as stupid as SETI

[zackboomer]

unbelievably cool

I definitely disagree with you that SETI is stupid, but you're right about the priority order. There are definitely more immediate benefits from the protein research projects, especially considering the incredible number of people helping with Folding@Home. So many people will be helped by understanding protein folding better. Thats why my laptop is running Rosetta 3x as much as its running SETI.

financially, yes, it was, just like many other investments which ignore primary and secondary needs of the ppl we are supossed to aid. Rosetta (and Folding) on the other hand is a research that benefits a basic primary/secondary need, namely healthcare.

why do you think SETI is stupid?

I'm currently donating my free CPU time to rosetta. It's an old computer, but it still gets work done on BOINC. I feel good about helping, its so easy to do. I'm building a new, high performance computer soon and I will then be using both computers in their free time for rosetta/BOINC. :D

rope wouldn't fall in a box with no gravity...

I'm very proud of donating my free CPU time to help this project.

oh intuition and the rosetta. Sacred geometry......:) good luck

Why only 240p?

Great video and a great piece of software. I graduated from UW with a degree in biochemistry and I wanted to thank your team for doing such excellent research.
