    I'm sorry?

    PC gamers have been folding for years WTF is she on about?
    And how can flipping a protein around on your screen actually help?

    So it takes me a good 8Hrs minimum to fold an SMP unit on an i5 Quad but if I download that "game" and flick it around my screen I'm contributing nearly as much as properly folding?


    Oh another note on the BBC

    Just because I play mirrors edge I'm not going to throw my self off buildings ... :/

    They should stick to normal news not technology as there reporters clearly know nothing especially that Corry guy.

    /ent rant


    Fold On!

    The professor who wrote the gaming article has been ranting about how his work is being miss-represented by the mass media.

    Does this mean I can't shine my torch on the wall and then run through the portal it creates and come out near the cake?

    Bollox!

    Its like a catch 22 scenario. If the youth of today are that influenced by computer games then are they really human, it leads me to believe they are zombies for being brain dead, which i can then play out L4D, killing floor and Dead Island(to name a few) in real life...... but then that makes me...... :D
