Folding@home, Sunday Night Foldathon (S.N.F) Options

[=BGOAT=Nicholas]

Im sure by now most people have heard about Folding@home. It is a program from Standford University that attempts to understand diseases like Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, and many forms of cancer among others. It will be released in the next PS3 Firmware update 1.6 which is released tonight at midnight.

The reason I am posting about this is because a person on the Playstation Forum has started a thread, which is 14 pages long now, about an event called Sunday Night Foldathon. This event is being held on sunday night (March 25). All PS3 users are encouraged to turn on their systems and run Folding@home. It could be anytime you want, even right before you go to bed and you can just let the program run until you wake up in the morning.

As you can see here:
Playstation Forum Thread

There is a good amount of PS3 users ready to do this. I myself will be doing this and hope everyone else will join in.

There is also an article here about the thread at the Playstation Forums:
