wtf spot? well basically, whats happens is this, the peeps working on cancer cant afford ££££ in hardware so simulate there protein things folding, the cure lies in these things folding, so coz they cant afford ££££ to have powerful hardware to make them like 500 years older, we download there program and use our spare CPU power to fold one protein per computer, when its folded that protein, it sends it to the peeps doing all this, and we get another, and so forth, saves them money and we help to find a cure and as it only uses spare CPU stuff, no skin of our nose, hope that explains more, and if ur still against it then, well, um, but remember according to stats 1/3 develop some form of cancer...
