You Can Help Fight AIDS While You Sleep
You can do real AIDS research in your own home, day and night, even while you’re sleeping. You can even do it at work. Nobody even needs know you’re doing it.
I’m not lying.
A conglomeration of companies and universities are working together to fight AIDS using computer models to test drugs, and they need your help. Simply go to FightAIDS@Home, join up (it costs you nothing) and download their client software. The software runs quietly in the background, downloading tasks and doing computations, all using spare cycles of your computer’s processor which would normally go to waste. After it’s done processing its packet of information, it sends it back to FightAIDS@Home then downloads the next packet.
Many of you may remember doing this for SETI@Home, which is the exact same setup, but with the goal of finding signals from extraterrestrial civilizations.
You need not be constantly connected to the Internet to run this program. It will upload / download its processing packets at your convenience, and run in the background when your computer is idle. If you have a computer that’s always on, and always connected to broadband, then it’ll really do some work.
And you can literally fight AIDS while you sleep.
