Thanks to a prompt from StickMan, I have created a Giant in the Playground team for Folding@Home!
For those who don't know what Folding@Home is, here is a brief run-down:
In a nut shell, it is a distributed computing project working towards scientific research to prevent and cure disease. Basically, the researchers need a big giant computer to do some very complex mathematical calculations. That of course costs a lot of money, money they don't have as they are a non-profit organisation and all research will be published freely for everyone. So, instead, they organise thousands of people to have their personal computers run small fractions of the calculations in the computer's spare time, when it wouldn't be doing anything anyway.
A big shout out to marcus who was the first GitP folder to complete a work unit!
In order to begin folding for the Giant in the Playground team, all you need to do is download and install the client, set up your username, and enter the Giant in the Playground team ID of 82447.
