What is protein folding and how is folding linked to disease? Proteins are biology's workhorses -- its "nanomachines." Before proteins can carry out these important functions, they assemble themselves, or "fold." The process of protein folding, while critical and fundamental to virtually all of biology, in many ways remains a mystery. Moreover, when proteins do not fold correctly (i.e. "misfold"), there can be serious consequences, including many well known diseases, such as Alzheimer's, Mad Cow (BSE), CJD, ALS, Huntington's, Parkinson's disease, and many Cancers and cancer-related syndromes. You can help by simply running a piece of software. Folding@home is a distribu…

Just post and answer general video download questions . I'll start off. If you download a video that's say 4 minutes and you hate the first 1:30, is it possible to edit it out . Not that its the end of the world, but I'm not a whiz at these things so if there's some way anyone knows of help would be appreciated .

So, by now I'm certain that nearly everyone (if not 100% of this board, at least) knows that they can use their PS3 controller as a USB joystick for games and, of course, legal emulation. However, I ONLY have a Windows machine, and have ordered a Macbook Pro for school and music-recording needs. Of course, I'm still going to want to have fun with it... So, my question goes out to all Mac users, or anyone who knows the answer otherwise. Can the PS3 controller be used on a Mac machine as a USB Joystick? I'm familiar with programs such as Parallels that allow you to run a Windows Virtual Machine, but I'm not interested in using those - I don't have a spare Windows CD Key. …

For those who dont know this already: Here's something for broadband people that will really speed Firefox up: 1. Type "about:config" into the address bar and hit return. Scroll down and look for the following entries: network.http.pipelining network.http.proxy.pipelining network.http.pipelining.maxrequests Normally the browser will make one request to a web page at a time. When you enable pipelining it will make several at once, which really speeds up page loading. 2. Alter the entries as follows: Set "network.http.pipelining" to "true" Set "network.http.proxy.pipelining" to "true" Set "network.http.pipelining.maxrequests" to some number like 30. This means it will make …

Anyone else having trouble with postimage.org too? Seems as if the vast majority of my pics have been disabled via a ERROR: IMAGE NOT AVAILABLE message screen for each pic. Hopefully this might be temporary? Bad enough Imageshack put me in a corner by waiting for users to download a mass amount of pics then turning around with a threat of deletion if they didn't pay up for a premium account...now this with postimage

i'm looking for a good 2d mmorpg ( for my other pc, with a not so good video card ) i used to play maplestory, but i left so long ago that i would need months to catch up, and starting all over again ... nah, too much ... anyway, do any of you know any good 2D mmos ? i'm looking for the common fantasy things : level up, monsters, warriors, mages, etc. i've tried looking, but most of the 2D mmo's ive found look strangely similar - all look like a window and with very little small characters kinda like a small sprite ( or like those old nintendo rpg games, like final fantasy 1 ... ) anyway, i'd really like if anyone can suggest any good 2D mmo ... yeah, i know it's kind…

I have always thought that Real Player is the best media player that you can download for free. After reading most of the negative comments on download.com, I was really really surprised. Most of them says that Real Player is filled with ads, and spywares and adwares. Plus, a few of them say that Real Player won't run on their comp, causing their comp to hang. One even mentioned that Real Player is very hard to use. I have always find Real Player very easy to use, the ads in them are more or less equally annoying as the ones found in Windows Media Player. Further, Real Player can play videos that WMA can't play. For example, if there is a weird new video compression, WMA …
