In my humble opinion, such project needs time to time a buster, a sort of widely anounced public compain to attract new people and "computer power". I am sure the project has a strategy, but there are always new ways to promote the it. Something like "all people with diabetes - get united: we have a tool to accelerate search of a cure for you". Personally I am fasinated by these projects and the opportunity it gives to real people to contribute to real research. ID: 36941 · Rating: 0 · rate: / Reply Quote

But soon I realised cars drive close behind me to read it. It becomes dangerous I have to remove the printout. I turned off my 5computers when I went on vacation. When I return today, I can not upload work. Need work units to run computers. joseps ID: 47997 · Rating: 0 · rate: / Reply Quote
